FAQ - About our automatic Deadbolt
A deadbolt is far more secure than a latch bolt. A latch is a passive form of locking a door. A burglar can slip a latch in less than 30 seconds. See how they do it.
Former burglar turned security expert Michael Fraser "Just one lock on a door isn’t enough. Burglars can use their foot to check whether there is a dead lock on the door. If the door moves more than two millimetres, they will immediately know that your door isn’t double locked, giving them easier access to your property.’
An automatic deadbolt automatically locks the door with a solid deadbolt every time the door closes. The lock mechanism has a connected trigger and bolt action: when the trigger makes contact with the strike plate in the door frame, the lock throws the deadbolt to secure the door automatically.
An automatic deadbolt is more secure as a thief cannot slip it as they could latch, and you can’t forget to lock it as you would a manual deadbolt. Therefore, you never make your home an easy target for an opportunist thief.
Yes, the auto-deadbolt nightlatch has a snib button below the bolt that can be moved up to temporarily disable the automatic deadbolt, allowing easy access when you're coming in and out of the house.

Innovation, Versatility & Enhanced Security

A truly excellent lock
We were looking for a deadbolt nightlatch for our bed and breakfast property as part of the refurbishment of our entrance. It not only had to be stylish, but also simple for guests to use - easy to close without difficulty. This led us to Finfort. We are absolutely delighted with the lock and it really ticks all the boxes. Using high quality materials it really looks the part. A far more elegant solution to more traditional nightlatches and enhances the door.
Contemporary Door Lock
As an architect I have been in the construction business for over 40 years and this lock is the only one that is appropriate for a contemporary door. Being fully morticed it avoids the unsightly interior box which most escape locks have. Beautifully engineered and easy to fit. Full support was available from the Finfort team.
