Night Letch Lock

Product Details:

A Night Latch Lock (often referred to as Night Letch Lock) is a type of door lock that is surface-mounted on the inside of a door, typically at night, to provide additional security. It is commonly used for external doors, and the term "night latch" refers to its primary function of securing a door overnight or during times when extra security is needed.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• Design: It usually consists of a latch that can be locked or unlocked from the inside using a knob or lever, and from the outside using a key. When engaged, the latch locks the door automatically when closed.
• Security: Offers basic security and is often used in combination with a deadbolt for increased protection. Some versions include an internal snib (a small lever) that allows the latch to be deadlocked from the inside.
• Material: Available in various materials, such as brass, chrome, or stainless steel, providing durability and a range of aesthetic options to match door hardware.
• Applications: Commonly used for residential front doors, especially in countries like the UK, where night latches are a popular choice for added security.
• Operation: The latch automatically locks when the door is closed, providing convenience, but it can be unlocked with a key from outside.
