Description
Product Overview: ERA Double-Locking Nightlatch
Nightlatches are essential locking mechanisms commonly used on residential front doors, providing an automatic locking feature that engages when the door is closed. The ERA double-locking nightlatch enhances security by automatically deadlocking upon closure, thanks to its innovative snib feature. This prevents the main latch bolt from being easily manipulated from the outside, ensuring your property remains secure.
Key Features:
-
Compatibility: Ideal for solid and glazed panelled timber doors with thicknesses ranging from 35mm to 60mm.
-
Modern Design: The sleek styling and robust construction make this nightlatch a popular choice among homeowners.
-
Included Accessories: Comes with a 5-pin rim cylinder, 3 keys, and all necessary fixings for easy installation.
-
60mm Backset: Specifically designed for doors with narrow stiles that cannot accommodate the standard 60mm backset, ensuring versatility in various door types.
Mechanical Holdback Feature:
This nightlatch includes a mechanical holdback option, allowing the sprung latch bolt to be retained within the body of the lock. When activated, this feature prevents the latch from engaging when the door closes, meaning the door will not be secured. It's crucial to assess whether this feature is suitable for your needs, as it may lead to security concerns in certain situations. Additionally, some holdback devices allow the latch to be locked in place, preventing access even with a key from the outside.
Operation:
-
Key Access: Operated from the outside with a key and lever-operated from the inside, featuring an internal cylinder within the lever handle.
-
Enhanced Security: The internal handle can be deadlocked by turning the key anti-clockwise from the inside, providing an extra layer of protection against forced entry.
This ERA double-locking nightlatch combines functionality with modern aesthetics, making it an excellent choice for enhancing the security of your home.
