706 40mm Traditional Non Deadlocking Nightlatch

Product Overview: Yale 706 40mm Traditional Non Deadlocking 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 security for your property.

The Yale 706 40mm Traditional Non Deadlocking Nightlatch is a well-established choice in the UK, known for its reliability and design. This compact version is tailored for doors with narrow stiles that cannot accommodate the standard 60mm backset size.

Design and Features:

• Ornate Styling: Part of the Yale traditional range, this nightlatch boasts an elegant design that complements Victorian and Georgian-style properties.

• Mechanical Holdback: This feature allows the latch bolt to be retained within the nightlatch body, preventing it from engaging when the door closes. While this can be useful in certain situations, it’s crucial to assess whether this feature meets your security needs, as it may leave the door unsecured.

• Key and Cylinder Options: The unit comes with a 5-pin rim cylinder and two keys, or it can be supplied as a case only if a cylinder is not needed.

• Operation: The nightlatch is key-operated from the outside and features a thumb turn operation from the inside, ensuring ease of use.

Considerations:

When selecting this nightlatch, consider the implications of the mechanical holdback feature. In some cases, it may be beneficial to have the option to prevent the latch from engaging, but it could also pose security risks if not used appropriately. Additionally, some holdback devices allow for deadlocking, which secures the door even when accessed with a key from outside.

This Yale nightlatch is an excellent choice for those seeking a blend of traditional aesthetics and practical functionality in their home security solutions.
