Heavy Duty Morticed Latch
Purpose
The 3R47 was introduced, at the request of the Home Office Prison Department, with the original
intention of providing secure locking of cell doors in Crown and Magistrates Courts, by means of a
lock that is essentially different to those used in UK prisons.
Overview
The latchbolt provides an overall throw of 20mm. The lock offers a number of keying and handle
configurations to suit a variety of operational requirements and is fitted with an external visual
indicator.
Single Locking Action
Keyed to pass or to differ. Locking is achieved by inserting the key into the keyhole and rotating
fully. This action will both deadlock the latchbolt and lock the handle in position. Unlocking is
achieved by inserting a key into the keyhole and rotating fully. This action will release the latchbolt
and unlock the handle. The latchbolt is then withdrawn using the handle.
Double locking action
Servant Key – Operates single locking action only Locking / Unlocking as above.
Note: the Servant key will not operate the double (master) locking action.
Master Key – Operates double locking action.
Locking - providing the servant key has been used to operate the first locking action, the master key can be utilised. By inserting
the master key into the keyhole and rotating fully over-locking will be achieved. The servant key will be disabled and unauthorised use of the servant key will be prevented.
Unlocking is achieved by inserting the master key into the keyhole and rotating fully, this action will remove the over-locking
enabling operation of the servant key.
Note- The lock can be configured to operate the double locking action only or if required to operate both single and
double locking actions from a single key
