Architects can now look to ERA Products, The Door Lock People, when specifying mortice locks for a building designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities. ERA’s existing range of standard mortice locks has been extended to include 5 new products designed specifically to meet the needs of the specification market. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and BS8300:2001 recommend that the distance between the handle and locking mechanism on a mortice lock should be 72mm (78mm for bathroom locks). This is to ensure that people with impaired vision and/or dexterity have unobstructed access to the keyway. By using a separate keyhole and handle set 72mm apart, which differs from a standard sashlock where the keyhole is in the handle, the new range from ERA meets these requirements. The new Architectural Mortice Lock range available from ERA Products conforms to European Standard EN 12209. There are 5 new products in the range; a Sashlock, Deadlock, Mortice Latch, Bathroom Lock and a Mortice Nightlatch – all with a 20mm stainless steel double throw deadbolt. Additional product benefits include a one piece stainless steel forend for simple door preparation, modular locksets to allow lock inter-changeability and an easily reversible stainless steel latchbolt – offering flexible fitting without the need to dismantle the lockcase. Suitability for bolt-through and un-sprung furniture, a profiled latch providing positive location and operation and a 10-year guarantee are also features of this new range. ERA Products will be attending various Hargould Events this year where the new range of Architectural Mortice Locks can be viewed, along with ERA’s comprehensive range of door and window locks.
