{"title":"Dead Locks","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dead lock has a bolt and nothing else: no latch, no handle, no spring. The bolt is thrown only by turning the key, which is why it is fitted as a second lock on a front or back door rather than as the lock you use to hold the door shut day to day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a dead lock is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard practice on a timber external door is a nightlatch or a latch for everyday use, plus a dead lock lower down the leaf for security when the house is empty. Check the case size and backset against the door thickness, and fit a matching \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/escutcheons\"\u003eescutcheon\u003c\/a\u003e on each face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere you want latch and deadbolt in one case, use a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sash-locks\"\u003esash lock\u003c\/a\u003e instead.

There is no sprung latch and no spindle, so the door is held shut by a separate latch, a magnetic catch or a closer, and the dead lock adds security on top. That separation is useful on a door where you want the handle to work freely at all times and the lock to be a deliberate, occasional action, and on doors where the handle and the keyway need to sit at different heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting and measuring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the case size to the depth available in the door edge and the backset to the position you want the keyway. Because there is no spindle, a dead lock needs less solid timber than a sash lock and will often fit a stile that a combined case will not. Cut the mortice square, fit the striking plate so the bolt enters cleanly without forcing, and check that the bolt throws fully before you fit the escutcheons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairing with the rest of the ironmongery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dead lock is almost always specified with a separate latch, so browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/locks-latches\"\u003elocks and latches\u003c\/a\u003e for the matching tubular latch, and use \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/escutcheons\"\u003eescutcheons\u003c\/a\u003e to finish the keyway on both faces.
