Yale 77 Traditional Style Nightlatch 60mm: Reversed Latch

The Yale Rim Lock Extra Key is a precision-machined mechanical key designed specifically for use with standard Yale rim cylinders. These cylinders are the primary locking component found in traditional nightlatches used on timber entrance doors. Cutting extra keys to the correct profile is essential for property management, shared occupancy, or simply ensuring a spare is available in case of an emergency.

Each key is manufactured to match the specific internal pin configuration of the cylinder it is intended for. This ensures reliable engagement of the locking bolt and reduces friction during rotation, which helps to extend the lifespan of the lock's internal mechanism. These keys are intended for use as duplicates or replacements when the original set is insufficient or has been lost.

• Application: Primarily used for front door nightlatches and secondary rim locking systems.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with all standard Yale-branded rim cylinders.
• Function: Operates the cylinder from the external side of the door to retract the latch or engage the deadbolt.

When providing additional keys for a security system, using precision-cut blanks is vital to maintain the security integrity of the door. These keys provide a functional and cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire cylinder unit when additional access points are required for a property.

The Yale Reversed Long Strike is a technical component designed to facilitate the secure operation of reverse bolt nightlatches. Specifically engineered for outward opening doors, this strike plate provides the necessary clearance and housing for the bolt to engage correctly when the door is in the closed position.

The extended lip profile is a key functional feature, protecting the timber door frame from repeated latch contact and preventing splintering or wear. It is typically used in residential or commercial settings where traditional inward opening doors are not feasible, ensuring that the security properties of the nightlatch are maintained. This part is suitable for both initial installations and as a direct replacement for worn or damaged strike plates within an existing Yale lock system.

• Specifically for outward opening door configurations
• Protects frame surfaces from latch impact
• Ensures correct alignment for reverse bolt nightlatches
• Durable construction for frequent use

The Yale Reversed Angled Strike is a specialist component designed specifically for doors that open outwards. Standard nightlatch installations typically require a box or flat strike; however, when a door opens away from the internal face, a reverse bolt nightlatch must be used in conjunction with an angled strike plate like this one.

The angled design allows the latch bolt to engage securely with the frame while compensating for the door's direction of travel. This ensures that the locking mechanism operates smoothly and maintains the integrity of the door's security. It is an essential part for timber door frames where a standard strike plate would not be functional due to the door orientation.

• Suitable for timber door frames
• Functions with Yale and other standard reverse bolt nightlatches
• Assists in maintaining correct alignment between the lock and frame
• Durable construction for long-term reliability

The Faithfull Bevel Edge Wood Chisel Set is an essential collection of tools specifically selected for the installation of nightlatch locks on timber doors. These chisels are engineered to provide the accuracy required for creating clean recesses and rebates, ensuring a professional and secure fit for door hardware.

Each chisel features a high-quality steel blade that has been hardened and tempered to maintain a sharp edge through repeated use. The bevelled edges make these tools particularly effective for working into internal corners and tight spaces, which is critical when fitting lock keeps and housings. The impact-resistant handles are designed for durability, allowing them to be used safely with a mallet for deeper cuts.

Applications and Use:

• Fitting and recessing nightlatch locks on wooden doors
• Preparing door frames for lock keeps and striking plates
• General joinery and woodworking tasks requiring precision rebates
• Suitable for both initial installations and replacement hardware projects

Whether you are a professional tradesperson or a DIY enthusiast, this set provides the necessary tools to achieve a flush finish when mounting security hardware to timber surfaces.

This Black & Decker Drill Bit Set is specifically curated for the installation of nightlatches on wooden doors. It provides the essential boring tools required to prepare a door for standard cylinder rim locks, ensuring a clean and accurate fit.

The kit comprises a flat spade bit and a smaller twist drill bit. The spade bit is used to create the large diameter hole necessary for the lock cylinder to pass through the door leaf. Its central point allows for precise alignment with marked measurements, while the outer spurs cut the wood fibres cleanly to prevent breakout on the reverse side of the door.

The accompanying twist drill is used for drilling pilot holes for the mounting screws and the internal cylinder tailpiece. This prevents the timber from splitting during the final assembly of the lock hardware. Both components are manufactured from hardened steel to maintain sharpness across multiple installations in various timber densities.

• Compatible with standard power drills and impact drivers
• Suitable for new door installations and replacement upgrades
• Ideal for use with most standard UK rim cylinder nightlatches
