Joseph Giles - Privacy latch lock with magnetic latch

This 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 latch bolt 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.

These high-performance vertical privacy latch locks are recessed into the door. The latch bolt is operated by a pair of lever handles and an 8mm spindle, the latch bolt 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.

When used in conjunction with a door lever handle, a sprung rota and minimum door thickness of 40mm are required.
When used in conjunction with a door knob, an unsprung rota and minimum door thickness of 35mm are required.
There is no real limit on maximum door thickness.

Available in two sizes.

Forend, strike plate and screws are hand finished in Joseph Giles signature finishes.
