About: Night latch

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A night latch (or night-latch or nightlatch) is lock that is fitted on the surface of a door; it is operated from the exterior side of the door by a key and from the interior (i.e. "secure") side of the door by a knob. Night latches are usually rim locks and are available as deadlocking (automatically locks once shut) and non-deadlocking versions. Historically, such locks were intended for use at night-time, hence the name. The keyless egress that they offer is a valuable fire safety measure.
