Mortice privacy latch lock with magnetic latch. This can also be used where a latch function only is required.
The high performance privacy mortice lock case features a magnetic latch bolt, this enables almost soundless operation and is ideally suited to applications where doors are set into deep reveals, this is due to the absence of a protruding latchbolt which would normally require the use of unsightly extended strike plates, in this instance the latch bolt is only triggered when aligned with the strike plate, the strike plate also includes a feature where it is reversible, this provides some adjustment for doors with acoustic seals or to provide some tolerance during installation.

Finish Types
If you're wondering which finish type to select, here's the key difference: living finishes gently patinate and change over time, ageing gracefully, whilst ageless finishes are either naturally unchanging, or boast a protective ceramic coating which mean the finish stays consistent.
Details
These high-performance vertical privacy latch locks are recessed into the door. The latchbolt is operated by a pair of lever handles and an 8mm spindle, the latchbolt is then deadlocked by a privacy snib from the inside and emergency release from the outside that are connected with a 5mm square spindle, a 5-6mm spindle sleeve is provide to ensure compatibility with the lock case follower.
With the lockcase fitted centrally within the door thickness, the minimum recommended door thickness is 40mm and no real limit on the maximum thickness.
Forend, strike plate and screws are hand finished in our signature finishes.
