Espagnolette

Espagnolette

Espagnolette refers to a type of locking mechanism that is commonly used on French doors and other types of double doors. The mechanism consists of a handle or knob that operates a series of vertical rods or bars that extend into the door frame at the top and bottom of the door. When the handle is turned, the rods or bars slide into place, securely locking the door in place.

Espagnolette locks are typically used in combination with other types of locks, such as deadbolts and latch bolts, to provide additional security for double doors. They are also popular because they can be operated from a single point, making it easy to lock and unlock both doors simultaneously.

Espagnolette locks come in a variety of styles and finishes, and can be customized to fit a wide range of door sizes and configurations. They are often used in commercial and residential settings where security is a top priority, such as in hotels, office buildings, and private residences.
