PBS1 BS3621: 2007 High Security Nightlatch

Product Overview: Yale PBS1 High Security 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 reliable level of security for your home.

Key Features:

• High Security Certification: The Yale PBS1 Nightlatch is certified to BS 3621:2007, BS EN 12209:2003, and BS EN 1303:2005, representing the highest standards in security certification. This makes it one of the most trusted options available, designed by the original inventor of the Yale lock.

• Mechanical Holdback Feature: This nightlatch includes a mechanical holdback option, allowing the latch bolt to be retained within the lock body. When activated, the latch will not engage upon closing the door, which can be useful in certain situations. However, it’s crucial to assess whether this feature is appropriate for your needs, as it may lead to the door being unsecured in some cases. Additionally, some holdback devices allow the latch to be deadlocked, preventing access even with a key from the outside.

• Operation: The 60mm backset nightlatch is operated by a key from the outside and a lever turn from the inside. It features an internal cylinder that enables deadlocking, ensuring that the lever cannot be manipulated from outside, such as through a letterbox.

• Included Components: The nightlatch comes with a high-security TS007 approved rim cylinder, which includes a reinforced protective escutcheon plate. It is supplied with two genuine keys for added convenience.

Ideal Use: This nightlatch is perfect for wooden front doors where maximum security is a priority, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners.

Upgrade your door security with the Yale PBS1 High Security Nightlatch and enjoy the confidence that comes with superior protection.
