3000 Locking Mortice Hookbolt

The Willenhall 3000 series mortice hook latch is specifically designed for sliding doors, providing a reliable and secure solution without the need for a locking snib. This model comes complete with a pair of recessed handles, ensuring a flush fit that allows for smooth sliding without obstruction.

Key Features:

• Unique Design: Easily identifiable by its flush fit handles, this latch is tailored for sliding doors.
• Hookbolt Mechanism: Instead of a traditional deadbolt, this latch features a hookbolt that engages with the strike, preventing the door from being opened once secured.
• Automatic Operation: The hookbolt throws automatically and can be retracted using the lever handle from either side.
• Locking Capability: The hookbolt can be locked from the inside by engaging the snib, which immobilizes the handle.
• Finish: Available exclusively in a satin chrome finish, this latch adds a sleek touch to your doors.
• Compatibility: Suitable for most internal sliding wooden doors, this latch is non-handed, making it versatile for various installations.
• No Keys Required: This latch operates without the need for keys, simplifying access.

Installation Notes:

• Striking Plate Included: Comes with a matching striking plate for a cohesive look.
• Not Suitable for Fire Doors: Please note that this latch is not designed for use on fire doors.
• Mortice Lock Characteristics: As a mortice lock, it is fitted within the door, providing a clean and secure installation.

Security Considerations:

While the Willenhall 3000 series latch offers a reliable locking mechanism for sliding doors, it is important to consider the security needs of your property. For external doors, we recommend using British Standard BS3621 products for enhanced security.
