Here, we take a look at some of the most popular products.
ERA
For residential or commercial projects, ERA 3-Star Cylinders offer an ideal security solution. Products are tested and approved by the Master Locksmith Association to the highest diamond standard, with police preferred specification. Recommended by Neighbourhood Watch, each cylinder is fitted with a sacrificial snap line, protecting the central cam from any unwanted access. For peace of mind, ERA also offers a £2,000 anti-snap guarantee.
The ERA nightlatches are versatile external security locks that have been designed to be mounted onto the internal side of the door with a cylinder pull externally and are available in a variety of finishes such as satin, chrome, and brass. Included in the range is a double locking British Standard high security nightlatch that complies with BS3621:2007 and the latest European Standard, alongside replacement ERA nightlatches which have an optional deadlocking or non-deadlocking facility on an external cylinder.
Altro Tubular Latch
Suitable for door furniture and doorknobs, the Altro Heavy Duty Tubular latch can be fitted effortlessly, for left or right-handed applications. The heavy double springing ensures a positive return of the lever or knob to its original position, whilst the soft bolt spring ensures the latch locates into its keep quietly – an important factor in apartment buildings. The latch comes with a removeable forend, that can be simply replaced without having to remove the lock. In addition, the Altro Heavy Duty Tubular Latch has been approved with a 60-minute fire rating and comes with a 10-year guarantee. The latch is part of a range of superior quality locks and latches all exclusively available from to IronmongeryDirect.

Featuring a 1.5mm heavy duty steel case and patented heavy-duty spring, it’s suitable for sprung and unsprung door furniture. The 60-minute fire door latch can be retracted by either key from the outside or by a handle on the inside and comes with a 25-year guarantee for peace of mind.
