Night Latches

Night latches are mounted onto the surface of a door on the internal side as opposed to being fitted flush within the door itself. The bolt is withdrawn into the casing by using the internal lever from inside or using a key from the outside. A snub or button found on the internal casing of the nightlatch can be used to hold the latch back so the door is constantly unlocked, ideal for short periods of time to avoid repeated unlocking of the door. This can also be locked into position with the bolt in place to ensure the key cannot be turned from the outside, preventing entry for an additional security measure.
