Union L2C24S DDA 55mm Backset 72mm C/C Euro Nightlatch Satin
Finding the right lock for a door can often feel like a bit of a headache. You want something that provides genuine security, but you also need it to be user friendly for everyone who might pass through that doorway. Whether you are managing a busy office building, a public space, or simply upgrading your home, the Union L2C24S DDA 55mm Backset 72mm C/C Euro Nightlatch Satin is designed to make your life easier. It solves the common problem of needing a high quality, reliable mortice lock that also complies with modern accessibility standards. With its sleek satin finish and robust construction, it manages to bridge the gap between heavy duty performance and the requirements set out by the Equality Act.
When you choose this particular nightlatch, you are investing in a product that has been engineered to last. We know that nobody wants to be constantly replacing hardware, which is why this unit is built with a sturdy steel case and a corrosion resistant stainless steel forend. It is a workhorse of a lock that keeps your premises secure while ensuring that visitors and residents can move through your doors without unnecessary difficulty. It is rare to find a lock that feels this substantial while remaining so smooth in its operation.
Why choose this nightlatch for your building
One of the standout features of this lock is its commitment to accessibility. Under the Equality Act, it is crucial that public and commercial buildings are accessible to as many people as possible. This lock helps you meet those obligations. It satisfies the recommendations found in BS8300 and Approved Document M, which are the gold standards for inclusive design in the UK. By choosing this hardware, you are actively creating an environment that is easier for everyone to navigate, including those with limited manual dexterity or strength.
Beyond its compliance features, the lock is a fantastic example of modular engineering. The European style casing with 72mm centres is a very popular configuration, meaning it will drop into the vast majority of existing door preparations. If you are replacing an older, worn out lock, you will likely find that this unit fits perfectly without the need for extensive carpentry or door modifications. It is designed to save you time during installation, allowing you to get the job done quickly and move on to the next task.
Key features of the Union L2C24S
- The latch bolt is crafted from high quality stainless steel and is easily reversible to suit doors hinged on either the left or the right side.
- This lock features a 55mm backset and 72mm centres, making it highly compatible with most standard euro profile cylinders currently on the market.
- The design is fully pierced to accept bolt through furniture and security roses, which helps to maintain a clean and professional look on your door faces.
- It is perfectly suitable for use with unsprung lever furniture, provided the weight of the handles does not exceed 0.75kg, ensuring smooth operation every time.
- The case is finished with a durable black powder coat to protect the internal mechanisms from dust and debris, while the visible forend boasts a stylish satin stainless steel finish.
- You can rely on the quality of the manufacturing, as this product comes with a 5 year guarantee for your peace of mind.
- The unit has been rigorously tested to the BS EN 12209 standard, ensuring it meets the high performance requirements expected in modern construction.
Fire safety and durability
Safety is never something you should compromise on, especially when it comes to fire protection. The Union L2C24S DDA 55mm Backset 72mm C/C Euro Nightlatch Satin has been assessed for use on both 30 minute and 60 minute timber fire doors. This means that if the worst should happen, your door hardware will not fail prematurely, helping to maintain the integrity of the fire resistant barrier. It is an essential consideration for any multi occupancy building, office block, or home where fire safety is a priority.
The construction of the lock itself is remarkably robust. The internal follower is made from zinc and measures 8mm, providing a solid connection to your chosen door handles. Because it is designed for heavy usage, the stainless steel latch bolt is built to withstand thousands of cycles without showing signs of wear. You will notice the difference in the action of the handle. It feels firm, yet fluid, giving you confidence in the quality of the product every time you lock or unlock the door.
Practical application and installation advice
If you are planning an installation, you will find that this lock is very accommodating. It is intended for timber doors, and because the latch bolt is reversible, you do not need to worry about specifying the handing of the door when you place your order. Simply adjust the latch to suit the direction your door swings. This makes it a great choice for contractors and maintenance teams who need to keep a reliable stock of locks that can be used across various projects.
We often get asked if this lock is suitable for domestic use, and the answer is a resounding yes. While it meets the stringent requirements for commercial and public buildings, those same features make it an excellent choice for a front or back door in a private home. The satin stainless steel finish is modern and neutral, meaning it will complement almost any style of door furniture, from brushed chrome to polished nickel. It adds a touch of professional quality to your home security setup.
