I do wonder if the OP has the right type of lock on his front

once the door has been closed. An extra turn of the key has been
required to dead lock it.

I run 100% on chubb type locks. No door in this house locks on
closing. All require a key.

Live on your own, then? Or just don't care about other's safety?


It may come as a surprise to you but in many parts of the country we
donOt feel the need to have locked doors when weOre in the house.

Just have the door swinging open then if the only lock is a Chubb?

You are allowed to have a spring-operated latch and door knobs/levers.

You are allowed to have a spring operated latch (nightlatch) only, if it
meets BS3621.


Oh dear. You have totally missed the point.
The latch does not have to meet anything because the Chubb lock meets BS3261.

Read it again. The comma is after "only"; meaning the nightllatch would be the
*only lock". In which case as stated, it would need to meet BS3621

If the comma had instead been after nighlatch, then indeed the statement would
have been incorrect as it stood; as quite possibly as you pointed out
there may have been another lock which already met BS3621.

However it wasn't after "nightlatch" but after "only", and so you're wrong.

Not that its any big deal as you should be well used to it by now.
