Buying
a Nightlatch
is an ideal solution if you have a wooden or metal door. Whether you
are simply replacing an existing lock or fitting one from new it is
worth considering, when buying a Nightlatch the level of security
you need and also the style of lock. A
Nightlatch is suitable for a door that will be used as an access
door where it will be slam locked whilst in use, allowing access by
use of a key from the outside. Night latches are as an example used
on a lot of residential front doors. A
Nightlatch is suitable for a door where convenience is important or
to replace or upgrade a Nightlatch currently in place. A Nightlatch,
as a rule are used on front doors in a residential property,
supported by a deadlock for insurance compliant security. We
always recommend British standard 3621 Mortice Deadlocks to our
customers to support Nightlatches especially if the doors are
external as they are approved by insurers and for your own peace of
mind. If you are looking for an internal Nightlatch or Rimlock you
would not be required to fit a supporting Deadlock. British
standard Nightlatch locks conform to the BS3621: 2004
for thief resistant Locks. British standard Nightlatch locks are
high security door locks that have been rigorously tested for
burglar resistance. These locks normally have stronger or additional
fittings for extra strength, providing a higher level of security
and are what many insurance companies demand to their customers.
British standard Nightlatch locks have many extra security features
to a standard or Traditional Nightlatch; they have protection
against most common forms of attack including lock picking, force,
drilling, manipulation and hacksaw. Some of the ranges can be keyed
alike for convenience and safety in a fire. We stock British
standard locks made by the leading manufacturers, such as Chubb,
Yale, Era, Ingersoll, Bramah, etc. We can also supply Deadlocking
Nightlatches are a step down from British Standard Nightlatch lock.
Deadlocking Nightlatches offer moderate protection to main doors in
your home or office etc., but many insurers do not cover doors
fitted with them so it is worth checking with your insurers before
you buy deadlocking Nightlatch. Some locks listed in this section
can be keyed alike for convenience & safety in a fire of use. We
stock Nightlatch locks made by the leading manufacturers, such as
Chubb, Yale, Ingersoll, Rimlocks

Sashlocks or Rim
Deadlocks should be considered as the lowest form of
security for a door, we would never recommend that a Rimlock should
be used on external doors without a supporting BS3621

external door where you are trying to create layers of security, or
for older properties where a Rimlock is currently fitted. We stock
