The existing night latch on our front door is a nuisance because
it's not possible to set it so that it can be left 'unlocked' with
easy access to go in and out without a key.

The door has (relatively) secure keyed deadlocks for when we really
want to lock up.

So I'm looking for a 'front door lock' which has handles on both
inside and outside to replace the night latch. My M-I-L's house has
one so I know such things exist but I can't find anything that looks
like what want at Screwfix or Toolstation. What should I be searching
for, maybe I have the name wrong?

Bearing in mind the number of suggestions that aren't what you're
looking for, you probably won't want this either. I don't see the
handle length, which is clearly important to you, but I'll put it up
anyway http://tinyurl.com/y4r4a8oo

It's in the right ball-park but it's rather flimsier than what I
remember/have in mind. I probably need to re-visit my M-I-L's house
and take a picture of the lock there and/or find out what make it is.
Then I can at least say "I want one like this".

... and here are some pictures, taken by my brother-in-law:-

Sorry, you have to rotate them to the right.

"I want one like this" :-)

So it's one of these https://tinyurl.com/y35kftja or similar, plus a
lever pad handle set like one of these https://tinyurl.com/y6kbs7uv
and a standard euro lock cylinder of the appropriate make and length.



Fairly standard lock usually fitted to double glazed back doors, often
associated with a locking mechanism that extends the whole length of the
door. Back doors are often fitted with a different lock to front doors
so that you don't accidentally lock yourself out.

The handles types are usually an option when specifying/ordering a new
door.

You possibly need to order the lock and handles separately.

The lock cyclinder is a Eurolock which can take a key both sides or
alternatively a key one side and a thumb knob on the other side.

There are various options for the distance between the key and the
handle spindle.

Try googling for "double glazing door parts".

You can also get something like this (just one quick example)

BUT you then need to match dimensions for handle face-plates and check
the thickness of the Euolock whch you buy separately
