Night Latch Locks in Traditional Style and Multiple Metal Finishes
Night latches are an ideal addition to provide an extra level of security to your home. A night latch sits on the inside surface of the door. While mortice door locks are installed flush inside the door, mounting a night latch to the inside of the door makes a property more secure.
When the door is closed, night latches will automatically secure the door using a bolt that connects the door to the door frame. When you need to unlock a night latch, you will need a key to open from the outside or use the knob on the inside to open the door.
Often included with a snib (button) on the internal casing, night latches allow you to leave the door unlocked when shut if you wish; this is suitable for short periods where you do not want to be unlocking and locking a door.
There are two types of basic night latches, standard and narrow. The only difference is the case's size; narrow night latches are more suitable for doors with a narrow frame. At Hiatt Hardware, all our night latches are installed with traditional rim cylinders installed on the outside of the door. We include these with all our night latches.
