Privacy Door Latch

The ZPDL privacy door latch is designed for applications with corridor to interior
openings, such as hotels, student accommodation and apartment blocks. The ZPDL
allows occupiers to establish safely and easily who is at the door before opening it fully
and allowing access.
The easy swing motion not only makes operation quick and effective, but also means the
unit will not interfere with the normal operation of the door. It also prevents damage of the
door and frame caused by the door slamming against a traditional sliding chain privacy
device. Furthermore, the silicone pads mounted on the device afford even further door
protection, and a silent operation.

OPERATION
Once installed the ZDPL sits in the closed, flush, position meaning the door can be opened
and closed as normal without any need to touch the unit. Upon the requirement to restrict
access into the room, a simple push on the top of the unit is all that is required to open
the arm and swing it across the door face, therefore stopping the door being fully opened
from the outside. To then allow access, again the arm is simply pushed on the top to
swing it back into the flushed closed position.

FINISHES
Offering much improved aesthetics for this product type, the ZPDL is manufactured from
zinc die cast material and is available from stock in satin chrome finish (US26D) but is
also available in satin brass (US4), oil rubbed bronze (US10B) and black powder coat to
special order. Fixing screws supplied.
