The is a heavy‑duty mechanical latchbolt lock designed for wooden doors with an inside opening — so you’re bolting your main entrance the old‑school, no‑fail way. I’ve installed more locks than I care to count, and this model stands out because it holds the line where cheap, flimsy locks give up. In plain terms: fewer callbacks from clients and a door that actually keeps people out.

Here's the thing — this isn’t some thin little piece of sheet metal that bends the first time someone jerks on it. The core of this lock uses an EXS+ 1CK cylinder with a serious pin setup and a 60 mm backset — that’s the distance from your door edge to the cylinder — which fits most standard Indian wooden doors with ease. What this means in practice is mechanical security that just doesn’t quit, especially on main entrances.

Key Features:

• EXS+ Cylinder Tech - Delivers up to 200 crore key combinations that make random duplication almost a non‑starter.
• 5 Strong Locking Bolts - Multiple bolt points spread force and resist pry attacks better than a single‑bolt latch.
• 16 Angular Pin Formation - Makes picking the cylinder a slow, frustrating chore for anyone other than the key holder.
• Aldrop Privacy Bolt - From the inside you can engage extra privacy so even the correct key from outside won’t open it.
• Satin Nickel/Antique Brass Finish - Looks smart on the door and takes daily wear and humidity without rusting fast.

Applications

This latchbolt gets real work on Main Entrance Security Doors, where cheap latches fail and common deadbolts are just not enough — think city houses, bungalows, and apartment fronts. Contractors put it on wooden doors with 30 mm to 90 mm thickness without fuss, and DIYers appreciate that the basic fit‑up doesn’t need factory‑only parts or hacksaw tricks.

Why Choose This Model

Look — not all locks are created equal, and if you’re flipping between 3‑bolt Budget options and something “nice looking,” this Pentabolt sits in the sweet spot of serious security for a reasonable spend. That 60 mm backset and the EXS+ system give you a mechanical advantage on forced entry resistance that makes a real difference, especially when you’re working in busy urban markets where break‑ins aren’t just a theory.

Technical Specifications Explained

• Backset (60 mm) - Positioning the lock far enough into the doorframe gives better bolt engagement and reduces torque on the door edge.
• Pin Count (16 Pins) - More pins means more unique key cuts and much higher difficulty for lock picking.
• Locking Bolts (5) - Each bolt spreads the holding force, so kicking or crowbar attacks have less leverage to work with.
• Finish Type - Satin nickel or antique brass doesn’t just age well — it fights corrosion in coastal humidity.
• Inside Opening Design - Means the lock is configured specifically for doors that swing inward, so installation alignment is straightforward.

Who Should Buy This

If you’re a tradesperson, contractor, or just someone who’s been burned by flimsy hardware before and wants a real upgrade, the Pentabolt EXS+ 1CK Latchbolt gives you peace of mind — seriously. It's not overkill for a front door, and it’s more than enough for rooms where you want privacy without compromising entry strength.

If you want a smart, secure, and mechanically sound lock that doesn’t make excuses — you’ll appreciate what this one brings to the table on a job site or home project.
