A dead latch is a convenient deadlock that has a spring loaded beveled latch, which automatically deadlocks when the door is closed. The Lockwood 001 pictured here is the most common dead latch in Australia approved for most apartment fire doors. The advantage of a dead latch such as the 001 is that it always lets you out in case of an emergency without having to find the key. It also has a double locking function which can be used when nobody is home, to prevent a burglar from leaving your home with your assets.

Lockwood's new Nexion lockset will enable you to offer your customers the latest in residential security with the convenience of keyless entry.

Keyless entry by remote has become the accepted method of locking and unlocking your car and this trusted technology has been adapted by Lockwood to deliver the same level of convenience to home security.

The Nexion lockset is controlled by the Q-Key remote, which has a range of up to 3 metres, making it simple and convenient to use. It incorporates the latest in encrypted rolling code technology to provide the highest possible security. If the remote is lost or stolen or additional remotes are required, homeowners can rest easy knowing that simple programming erases all previously recorded remote codes allowing new remote key controllers to be programmed to the lockset.

The lock system is fitted within the door and is powered by four alkaline AA batteries eliminating the need for expensive or elaborate wiring systems. The battery operated Nexion provides both audible and visual confirmation of electronic activation, while the batteries are easily replaced and the battery housing is protected with a secure access cover to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.

In addition to its convenient operation, the Nexion incorporates the safety and security features for which Lockwood products are renowned. The unique Lockwood LockAlert status indicator shows at a glance the lockset status, which can operate in Secure Mode (red), Safety Mode (yellow) or Passage Mode (green). Safety features include the SafetyRelease function, which automatically releases the internal handle upon entry, reducing the risk of being locked in should there be need to escape from the home in an emergency.

The Nexion includes a unique metal installation template and has been designed for ease of fitting to hinged timber doors.
