Description
Product Overview: ERA British Standard Egress Nightlatch
Nightlatches are essential locking mechanisms commonly used on residential front doors. They typically feature a single sprung latch that automatically engages when the door is closed, providing a secure environment for your home.
Key Features:
-
Insurance Rated Security: The ERA British Standard Egress nightlatches are designed for situations where a BS mortice lock cannot be installed or where additional security is necessary. They ensure a safe escape route in emergencies while maintaining robust security.
-
Kitemarked Quality: These nightlatches are kitemarked to BS8621:2007 and have received approval from 'Secured by Design', ensuring they meet high security standards.
-
Included Components: Each nightlatch comes with a 6-pin cylinder, 3 keys, and a security escutcheon with a finger pull for added convenience.
Specific Design: ERA 1530 BS8621:2007 Nightlatch
This model is specifically tailored for doors with narrow stiles that cannot accommodate the standard 60mm backset.
- Escape Functionality: The ERA 1530 is an Escape nightlatch, allowing for easy operation from the inside without a key at all times. It features larger internal levers or thumb turns, designed for quick access during emergencies. The internal mechanism overrides any deadlocking, ensuring the latch retracts for immediate egress.
Compliance and Security Standards:
This nightlatch adheres to British Standards, fulfilling the necessary security requirements. It complies with:
- BS 3261: Key operated egress
- BS 8621: Keyless egress
- BS 10621: Keyless egress with a disable feature from outside
These standards not only ensure resistance to attacks but are often required to meet insurance policy stipulations, which can vary based on specific applications.
Operational Features:
-
Automatic Deadlocking: The latch automatically deadlocks when the door closes, enhancing security.
-
User-Friendly Operation: The key operation from outside and a small lever handle for inside operation make it easy to use while ensuring safety.
This ERA nightlatch combines security, functionality, and compliance, making it an ideal choice for residential doors.
