Types of locks and latches

Toilet door locks

These locks are more important for privacy than for heavy-duty security. They come in multiple sizes and can take form as pull handles set on backplates, door knobs with turn and release combos, or door levers with a turn and remove set.

Sash locks

Good for interior or exterior doors, a sash lock includes a latch that can be opened and closed without a key when unlocked, but can be locked closed with a key when necessary.

Deadlocks

Deadlocks are the highest measure of consumer-grade lock security, being particularly good for external and entry doors. A deadlock comprises only a heavy-duty lock bolt mechanism, it does not have a latch mechanism for a handle or knob.

Roller bolt latches

These are primarily used when fitting a pull handle or a cupboard door knob within the door. The roller slips inside the striker plate in the door frame and keeps it closed.

Tubular latches

Commonly known as a mortice latch, tubular latches allow a door to be opened or closed using a handle or knob. Most tubular latches can easily be fitted with locks.

The advantages of high-quality locks and latches

A high-quality lock or latch will live up to the level of security it promises, often preventing break-ins or disturbances in private spaces. A modern deadlock should be all but impossible to pick. High-quality locks and latches open and close smoothly, so you won’t be wiggling a key back and forth until the bolt turns. Above all, proper locks and latches offer you peace of mind, whether you’re leaving the house, or just making sure that the cupboard door stays firmly closed.

How to choose locks and latches that are right for you

Consider the function of the lock or latch and decide on the level of security it should offer accordingly. Choose between replacing the entire lock or latch system, and simply changing the key. If the old system is showing signs of wear and tear, a fundamental replacement is probably best. Multiple lock systems make homes and workplaces in Australia safer - consider how many layers of security your lock system should ideally have.

A selection of door locks, such as digital door locks, provide modern security with their password or fingerprint access, lever handles ensure doors are easily operable with a simple push or pull, pivots grant a smooth swivel action, and pull handles make opening doors a breeze with a firm handhold.
