Product Information
Full details
The TIMCO Narrow Style Nightlatch is designed for homeowners looking to secure external timber doors where space is limited. This compact, silver-finished unit offers a reliable key-operated external entry and a convenient internal handle, making it a perfect replacement for standard narrow-profile locks. While its slim 68mm case design ensures compatibility with existing hardware, users should note that it is intended for lightweight timber door applications and may not provide the same level of heavy-duty security as a full deadbolt system.

FAQs
What is the backset size of this lock?
This lock has a 40mm backset.
Can this be used on a metal door?
This nightlatch is specifically designed for use on timber doors.
Does it come with keys?
Yes, the product is supplied with two keys.

How do I hold the door open?
Use the integrated hold-back facility located on the lock body to keep the latch in the retracted position.
Is this a secure lock for a main front door?
While it provides reliable security for domestic timber doors, it is best used in conjunction with a main deadbolt for maximum protection.
Troubleshooting
The key is stiff or hard to turn
Apply a small amount of dry graphite or silicone lubricant into the keyway and insert the key several times to distribute it.
The door is not latching shut properly
Check that the strike plate is aligned with the latch and that the door has not shifted on its hinges.
The hold-back toggle is stuck
Ensure that the latch bolt is fully retracted and clear of debris; gently clean the area around the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this unit, align the 68mm case with your existing door preparation holes. If this is a new installation, measure your door stile carefully to ensure the 40mm backset is centered correctly. Use the provided screws to secure the rim cylinder through the door to the lock body. For optimal longevity, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant into the keyway once a year to keep the internal mechanism moving smoothly. Avoid using heavy oils or solvents, as these can attract dust and grime over time.
