706 40mm Traditional Non Deadlocking Nightlatch

Nightlatches are a common locking product found mainly on residential front doors. They ordinarily feature a single sprung latch locking point which engages automatically when the door is shut, securing the property

These Yale 706 40mm Traditional Non Deadlocking Nightlatches are very popular throughout the UK and have been on the market for many years. This small backset version is specifically designed for doors with narrow stiles which can not accept the larger 60mm backset size of standard nightlatches.

Part of the Yale traditional range this nightlatch features a more ornate styling and appointments, and compliments traditional door sets such as those found on Victorian or Georgian style properties.

These basic non-deadlocking units come with a 5 pin rim cylinder and 2 keys, or can be supplied with a case only if no cylinder is required.

This Yale nightlatch features a means of mechanical holdback which allows the sprung latch bolt to be physically retained within the body of the nightlatch. When this feature is activated, the latch will not engage when the door closes, therefore the door will not be secured. It is important to consider if this is a feature that is desirable for the application in question as in some circumstances the possibility of the door not being secured may cause issues. Also, some mechanical holdback devices also allow the latch to be secured in the locked position preventing access even when a key is used from outside deadlocking the door. It should also be considered if this is suitable for the application.

Key operated from the outside and a thumb turn operation from the inside.
