Review on Polished Brass Kwikset 1825-18 6-Way Adjustable Dead Latch by Anthony Morrow

The part number for this is 81825-001 and UPC 042049335590 and both are for an external front door spring latch, not a blind latch or deadbolt latch. A deadbolt latch can be used on a deadbolt if you want it to lock every time the door is closed and do so without using a key. It has a locking plunger so it can work with the latch assembly if it fits, but it's less secure than the latch pin. The latch cannot be opened with a screwdriver or credit card, so offers a higher level of security and is often bolted to the door, with the side of the latch also being bolted to a staunch rather than a plunger drilled into the door. For some reason the names now seem interchangeable and if you're looking for a latch to use on an existing deadbolt this may not be what you want as it offers no more security than a set of entrance latch knobs for the intended use - with a key. doorknobs and levers. I wanted a new spring latch for my front door so I got what I expected. I took off a star because it wasn't what was listed and although I informed them of the error it hasn't been fixed. Just search by item number or UPC and you will find multiple listings for that item. I think you are quite right you should say it has a locking plunger as it has a part that engages the latch to prevent it from opening from the outside. To avoid adding more ambiguity than is already there, a little online searching can be helpful to ensure you get what you want, rather than relying on words to pin you to some sort of list .
