PBS2 BS3621: 2007 High Security Nightlatch

Nightlatches are essential for enhancing the security of residential front doors. They typically feature a single sprung latch that automatically locks when the door is closed, providing peace of mind for homeowners.

The Yale PBS2 High Security Nightlatch stands out with its impressive certifications, including BS 3621:2007, BS EN 12209:2003, and BS EN 1303:2005. These certifications signify that it meets the highest security standards, making it a top choice from the original Yale lock inventor.

One notable feature of this nightlatch is its mechanical holdback option. This allows the latch bolt to be retained within the nightlatch body, preventing it from engaging when the door closes. While this can be useful in certain situations, it’s crucial to assess whether this feature aligns with your security needs, as it may leave the door unsecured. Additionally, some holdback devices enable the latch to be locked in place, preventing access even with a key from outside, which is another factor to consider for your specific application.

Designed with a 40mm backset, this nightlatch is operated by a key from the outside and a lever turn from the inside. It includes an internal cylinder for deadlocking the door, ensuring that the lever cannot be manipulated from outside, such as through a letterbox. This design is particularly beneficial for doors with narrow stiles that cannot accommodate the standard 60mm backset.

The nightlatch comes equipped with a high-security TS007 approved rim cylinder, featuring a reinforced protective escutcheon plate. It is supplied with two genuine keys, ensuring that you have reliable access while maintaining security.

Overall, the Yale PBS2 High Security Nightlatch is ideal for wooden front doors where maximum security is paramount, providing both functionality and peace of mind for homeowners.
