Yale 81 Rollerbolt Nightlatch Push Pull Action Lock Grey Case Chrome Cylinder 92mm

The Yale 81 Rollerbolt 
The Yale 81 Rollerbolt Nightlatch is a rim-mounted lock designed for doors that use a push/pull operation instead of a standard sprung handle.

What Makes a Rollerbolt Different to a Deadlatch?

• A Rollerbolt uses a rounded roller-style latch that allows the door to be opened by simply pushing or pulling it. It does not spring-lock in the same way as a traditional deadlatch.

• A Deadlatch uses a spring latch bolt that automatically catches and latches into the strike plate when the door closes. It usually requires a handle or knob to retract the latch from inside.

Main Differences

Why Use a Rollerbolt Instead of a Deadlatch? You may choose a rollerbolt when:

• The door has a fixed pull handle instead of a lever handle
• You want easy push/pull access for frequent traffic
• You need to reduce accidental lockouts
• The door is in a communal entrance or apartment block
• Accessibility and convenience are important
• You want the option to deadlock the door only when needed
