Night Latch: Secure your home with a simple twist

Many existing locks have key mechanisms that can be easily manipulated, leaving your house vulnerable to break-ins. This is where the need for effective and reliable locking solutions becomes important. Night latches offer a practical solution to enhance door security.

A night latch ( नाईट लैच ) is commonly installed on doors to provide security. It automatically locks the door when closed, without requiring a key to activate it. It is called a night latch because it serves as the last security measure. It is typically installed on main doors and is designed to lock the door from the inside.

Types of night latches

Night latches come in various types, each designed to enhance security:

Single Latch + Single Deadbolt (Double Stroke Deadbolt)

It includes a primary latch that automatically locks the door when closed, coupled with a deadbolt for extra security. The double-stroke mechanism means that the deadbolt turns twice to fully engage the lock, providing more security than a standard latch. Our night latches come with computerized keys made from brass. These keys have punched holes along with ridges hence they cannot be easily copied.

Single Latch + Double Deadbolts (Double Stroke)

It includes a primary latch and two deadbolts with double-stroke functionality. These deadbolts offer extra security by extending further into the doorframe, ensuring a more secure lock.

Tri-bolt Night Latch (Deadbolts with Double Stroke)

This lock features three deadbolts that lock simultaneously, each with a double-stroke mechanism. The triple deadbolt configuration ensures maximum strength by securing the door at three different points.

Interlock with 3 & 6 Strokes (Single Sliding Bolt with 3 & 6 Strokes)

It has a single deadbolt that uses an interlocking mechanism that can lock in 3 or 6 strokes, depending on the model. Each stroke of the bolt increases the lock’s depth into the doorframe, adding to its overall strength and security. It also has a safety knob that prevents unauthorized access when activated.

Factors to consider before buying night latch locks

Before buying a night latch lock, consider the following factors:

• Door Thickness: Ensure the night latch lock is compatible with the type and thickness of your door. Ozone’s night latch locks are designed for doors between 30-70 mm thick.

• Security Level Requirements: Assess the security needs of your property. For high-risk areas or main doors, consider investing in a night latch lock with a higher number of deadbolts for enhanced protection.

• Different Finishes: Choose a finish that complements your door and enhances the overall look. Ozone’s night latch locks are available in silver and antique brass finish.
