Choosing the Right Rim Cylinder Night Latch

Size, Finish & Security Considerations

Selecting the best rim cylinder night latch starts with knowing your backset size — 60 mm for most UK timber doors or 40 mm for narrow frames. For maximum protection, pair your latch with a 5 lever deadlock or choose an insurance-approved BS3621 model.

Match your latch finish with other entrance hardware such as door furniture, door knockers, centre door knobs, and letter plates for a coordinated look.

If you only need to change the locking barrel, see our replacement rim cylinders. For extra safety, add rim profile cylinder pulls, door chains, and door viewers for improved visibility and security.

Installation & Compatibility

Practical Fitting & Usage Advice

Rim cylinder night latches are designed for inward-opening timber doors. They’re quick to fit with standard tools, but accurate alignment ensures smooth operation and long-term reliability. If your door is in a high-traffic entrance, consider a model with a snib function to keep it open temporarily.

For composite or uPVC doors, alternative lock types are better suited. For personalised guidance on sizing, finishes, and combining with 5 lever deadlocks, contact us. We deliver to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, and across the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a rim cylinder night latch be the only lock on a front door?

It can, but pairing with a BS3621 5 lever mortice deadlock is best for insurance compliance and security.

What’s the difference between 60 mm and 40 mm night latches?

60 mm fits most standard timber doors; 40 mm is designed for narrow frames.

Are rim night latches suitable for uPVC or composite doors?

They’re mainly for timber doors; uPVC/composite doors require multipoint locking systems.

Do night latches lock automatically?

Yes — they latch and lock automatically on closing.

Can rim cylinders be keyed alike?

Yes, allowing one key to operate multiple doors.
