Ill go for this I think it just needs one hole drilling through the door for the key minimal destruction to the doors and it can be mounted below the existing handles

You could hide the existing door handle holes with a wide angle door viewer.

These magnetic ones are easy to fit, just need a 25mm spade bit. Cheapest, temporary doors I could find:

No sharp, sticky out bits to catch yourself on. Bolt doesn't shoot out until it sees the plate in the jam.

now that is a clever idea

Right quick question.
New tennants in my flat would like locks on the bedroom doors.
I was going to drill and chisle out for lever mortice locks but I am thinking yale type night latch might be quicker and easier to fit.
The doors are knotty pine and I dont see them chisling well!

What do you people think?

bathroom does need a bolt lock whilst the bedrooms dont

to be honest it does read like they are subletting on you which by rent standareds you shouldnt allow

A couple are sharing with a friend, I can only presume the wife dont trust the friend so much! She asked for a lock on the bathroom also this I will just fit a simple slide bolt. But the bedrooms need a proper lock with a key.

i wouldnt allow it so they would get a leave notice implied

Rimlocks used to be available with various offsets, the distance between the door edge and the hole for the handle. It doesn't look to be specified on the rimlocks I've looked at for this thread.

that type of lock is the only one id allow for internal doors to be locked as less damage with it

the other types id make fully aware if they fit them they would be charged for new doors to be replaced and fitted

this is up to you

They better not sublet!
As they only signed contracts yesterday!
I shall be checking up on them regularly!
I did not want to fit any locks to the 2 bedroom doors but my wife said she would be the same living with a husbands friend she didnt know.
So I dont mind fitting the rim locks to the 2 bedroom doors.
Infact I have ordered them already and I will pick them up after work and go and fit them.

The instructions for fitting those AM60 magnetic, tubular mortice locks I mentioned. Doddle to install:

i dont mind shared rental but it does come with issues usually when one decides to give up there half of the rent

you find alot of students will share a house with others and thats generally when locks are requested for bedrooms but each tennant is signed on the form of rental agreement

it does happen with adults as well

Cheaper than I expected they look solid

Whatever type of lock you fit, it needs to be unlockable from the inside without a key. Fire regs in a let. If you're registered..

( I have two HMO's)

They are. Really good quality.

More expensive the the cardboard doors they went in!

There was a reason for that, the room adjacent to the bathroom will get gutted so a nice door will get damaged. Once done I'll replace the doors but re-utilize the magnetic locks.

Make sure you get a copy of the key beforehand!
