Deadlatch - Builders Series

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.
