Window Locks for use on Internal Doors

[diyohy]

I have successfully used a Chubb 8K113 window lock as an internal door lock - it's perfect for adding a little extra security within our shared house, but can only be used on outward opening doors.

I'm looking for a similar lock that I can use on an inward opening door, hope you can help!

Thanks in advance.

not shure why you are using window catches when there are more secure purpose made catches for doors

Hi big-all,

Thanks for your post; however, I'm after a key lock (unique key).

Locks like the Chubb 8K113 are great for added peace-of-mind in shared houses - flatmates are unlikely to break a lock or door, so there's no need to use anything as hefty as a mortice lock, but for flatmates who want a bit of added privacy when they're away from home these at great.

If anyone knows of something just like the Chubb 8K113 that works on inward opening doors, please let me know.

Thanks.

I also use this kind of lock because they're easy to fit, I'm not sure I could / should attempt anything more complicated.
