Deadlatch – Builders Series

Description

• These builders series products are value priced but still offer good quality.
• This Deadlatch (also known as a Nightlatch) is similar to a standard deadbolt, however, instead of needing to be manually operated by turning a key or knob each time, this lock has a latch which automatically re-locks the door when closed.
• This is essentially a mixture between the trim of a deadbolt and the interior workings of your most common door knobs or levers.
• Available in two models; single cylinder and double cylinder:
  • Single cylinder has a keyed cylinder on one side and a turn knob on the other.
  • Double cylinder has a keyed cylinder on both sides of the lock.
  • Double cylinder locks are typically used to secure a gate in which one could easily reach through or over the top to unlock it. The main potential downside is that this function does not allow for emergency egress.
• Materials:
  • The cylinder is made from brass with some steel internal parts
  • The latch is made from steel, die cast material and some brass.
  • The trim pieces are made from steel.
  • The fasteners are made from steel.
  • The keys are made from brass.
• Includes all fasteners needed for installation, installation instructions, and two keys.
• The Schlage C keyway and may be rekeyed (by a locksmith) to fit your existing keys if you have 5-pin Schlage type keys.
