Legge 727 - Deadlocking Night Latch (44mm) Reviews

My old lock was a Legge night latch which has been in use for 20 years but with a lot of use over that time has taken it toll. I searched locally for a Legge replacement but could not find one so then searched the internet and found the 727 at Safe. The service was excellent and delivery was on time. The 727 was slightly different from the old one I would say more superior and looked more expensive than the price paid. It was easy to fit as I just undid the old fittings and fitted the new 727. The tongue was a bit long so I cut it with a hack saw. I just followed the instructions that came with the 727. I am so pleased that I kept looking as I think the 727 Legge lock is well made and have have good security features such as being able to lock from the outside when you go out and the inside at night.

Great locks and the only place on line to find them of this size.

We were broken into our barn some weeks ago having used what we thought was a reliable lock. We were advised that the Legge 727 Deadlocking Nightlatch (44mm) from the Safe Shop was the very best product for the job. After buying at a good price, we fitted it to the door. It looks a very good heavy piece of equipment and am confident it will do the job and deter burglars. Although seemingly expensive at the time you pay for what you get and we certainly seem to have got something we can rely on. Would certainly go to Safe Shop again for any further products. They know what they are selling.

I bought to replace an exact same model which was fitted 2001 on a rental flat. The old one's deadlock had broken internally. The delivery was a few days so good. The new one had excellent polished finish and function and felt solid, coming with 5 pin cylinder lock and 3 keys . I thought this was a very good deal, but unfortunately the cylinder lock that came looked great but felt like it had a loose shaving of metal in cylinder mechanism, meaning when key was inserted it kept catching several times before fully in, however it turned fine. I bought a different make of 6 pin cylinder lock for £6 on offer elsewhere which still fit the Legge latch fine, they are fairly standard on sizes. I was probably just unlucky rather than them all Legge cylinders being like this.

As rated above

Great product and excellent service

An excellent product, simple to install and very good value for money.

Replaced broken part.

Bought this as a direct replacement for an old lock so fitting was easy. The backseat is not common so there aren’t really any other options but it means the screws go in the same place and no additional work is needed. However, the new version uses less material than the old so everything is a mm or 2 thinner resulting in it not catching when the door is closed. The mechanism is also less fluid than the old one so when you open it the movement is quite rough. I guess they literally don’t make them like they used to.

Top class lock. Was an exact replacement for one that had been on our door for over 20yrs and done Stirling service.

Has functions like deadlock etc.

I had to replace a faulty latch mechanism on a door that easily dated back from over thirty years ago. The dimensions were still the same and so a perfect fit was easily implemented. I even managed to retain the old barrel so could still use the original keys but have also kept the new barrel and keys just in case I ever feel the need to change them.

This was the same lock that was fitted hence direct replacement

Great service
