Night Latches

A night latch is mounted on to the surface of a door on the internal side as opposed to being fitted flush within the door itself. It can then be locked into position from the inside meaning the key cannot be turned from the outside. The bolt is withdrawn into the casing using the internal lever from inside or using a key from the outside. A snib or button found on the internal casing of the nightlatch can also be used to hold the latch back so the door is consistantly open. This provides a high level of security on external wooden doors.
