Product Information
Full details
The TIMCO Narrow Style Nightlatch is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a compact, reliable locking solution for external timber doors where space is limited. Its primary benefit is the slim 40mm backset that fits narrow door frames while providing easy, key-operated security. Note that because this is a rim-mounted lock, it requires careful measurement of the door stile to ensure the strike plate aligns perfectly with the latch bolt.

How many keys are provided?

What should I use to clean the chrome finish?

Is the handle reversible for different door handing?
The internal handle is designed for standard use, but ensure the latch bevel faces the closing direction during installation.
Troubleshooting
The key feels stiff when turning
Check that the tailbar is not misaligned with the lock body and ensure the screws on the lock body are not overtightened, which can warp the case.
The door is difficult to close or latch
Verify the alignment of the keep against the latch bolt. You may need to adjust the keep position slightly or shim it to ensure the bolt strikes the center.
Hold-back facility is not working
Check for debris or paint build-up around the hold-back switch; clear any obstructions to allow the lever to move freely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic drilling and alignment tools. Begin by marking the position of the 40mm backset on your door to ensure the cylinder passes through cleanly. Secure the nightlatch body to the interior face using the provided screws, ensuring the tailbar of the cylinder engages correctly with the lock body. For the keep, measure the distance from the door edge so that the 15mm bolt lands squarely in the center of the keep strike hole. To maintain the chrome finish, wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive chemical cleaners that may damage the plating. Lubricate the latch bolt sparingly with a dry silicone spray if you notice any stiffness over time.
