What is a Sashlock?
Posted by Bob Bulmer on Thu 28th February 2008 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Doors, Security
Sashlock’s combine both a latch and bolt with handles on either side of the door. This type of lock is usually seen on back doors.
A sashlock usually incorporates three levers - which is not ideal for security. However, this can be replaced with an upgrader unit which includes five levers and a deadlocking action.
Having the deadlocking facility is pretty important on back doors as they are often glazed and in isolated locations. This makes them the target of choice for burglars.
