Era Egress BS8621 Nightlatch - 60mm - 1730

No unfortunately not, the BS3621 nightlatches can not be reversed. The only way to do this is to install a standard nightlatch from our outward opening nightlatch section and then also install a BS3621 deadlock. This deadlock will give you the insurance rating required.

You need to make sure the lock you fit is NON deadlocking. This means that you can not lock people into the property. There are a few nightlatches designed for these doors. The best is the Yale PBS3 or PBS4 or a more standard model would be the Yale 88 or 84.

The best locks for these would be the a rollerbolt style lock with a masterkeyed cylinder. I would not recommend installing a standard Nightlatch on these doors as the tenants can lock themselves out if they close the door behind them. We can supply these locks for you on a masterkey if you require or keyed differ if you would prefer.

The backset on these locks is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the Rim Cylinder. This is the large 32mm hole drilled through the door. There are 2 main sizes of these, 60mm or 40mm. Easiest way to find out what you have is to measure from outside of the door from the edge to the center of the keyhole. If you have a solid door you should use the 60mm backset locks, if you have a glass panelled door then you may need to use the 40mm backset. If your current lock is 50mm backset you will need to see our Union locks as only Union made a 50mm backset lock in the past.

There are different levels of security you can have with all locks. The standard locks (i.e. Yale 77, Yale 88) , then the mid level locks which can be key deadlocked from outside ( Yale 89, Union nightlatches). The double locking versions are only suitable for homes with other means of exit as you can lock people inside the house if not careful.

All the extra keys for the locks are cut to the specific locks that have been ordered.

With most locks that are altered to make them keyed alike you will only get 1 x set of keys with them. So if the locks normally come with 2 you will only get 2 keys total and if they come with 3 keys you will only get 3 x keys total when ordered keyed alike.

Yes, this nightlatch conforms to BS 8621:2007, which is the British Standard for 'escape locks'. The keyless lever on the inside allows for an immediate emergency exit without a key, making it ideal for residential properties where fire safety is a priority.

Automatic deadlocking prevents the latch from being retracted by external tools like credit cards. As soon as the door closes, the bolt is securely locked, providing instant protection without you needing to manually lock the door with a key.

The backset is the measurement from the edge of the door to the center of the cylinder. 60mm is the standard size for most timber doors. If your door has narrow stiles or decorative panels near the edge, you might want to consider the 40mm version instead.

Yes, the lock features a high-security integral cylinder pull. This component is specifically designed to surround and protect the cylinder, making it significantly more difficult for an intruder to drill through the lock mechanism.
