This image shows a rim cylinder nightlatch 🔐 fitted to a residential door in Ilford 🏠. We were recently called out after a customer accidentally left their keys inside the property 😬🗝️, causing the door to shut and the nightlatch to lock automatically.
Rim cylinder nightlatches are very common in homes across Ilford and East London 🏘️. They are designed to lock as soon as the door closes 🚪❌—which is great for security, but not so great when the keys are left behind 😓. This often happens when stepping out briefly 🚶♂️🗑️ or dealing with deliveries 📦.
⏱️ We arrived quickly and carried out a non-destructive entry 🔓✅, meaning the door, frame, and lock were opened without damage 🛠️🙌. Once access was restored, we checked the condition of the nightlatch and advised on upgrading the rim cylinder to reduce the risk of future lock-outs 🔁🔐.
