Many manufacturers automatically think “roller latch” when customers ask for a daytime/party mode solution on entry doors. But there is another option worth considering.
Siegenia’s daytime opener solves a few common frustrations manufacturers often run into with traditional roller latches. One of the biggest advantages is that, unlike a roller latch that is always active, the daytime opener can simply be switched on or off with a small integrated lever whenever needed.
That means homeowners can:
- Put the door into “party mode” during the day
- Open the door with a simple push (no key or handle operation required)
- Easily switch back to full multi-point locking anytime
It also gives manufacturers more flexibility.
Some gear configurations don’t allow for a traditional roller latch solution. In one recent case, a door fabricator approached us specifically asking for a roller latch, but the configuration wouldn’t accommodate it.
The daytime opener solved the issue, and the fabricator was happy with the result - now using it as their standard solution.
For manufacturers, the practical benefits stack up:
- It can be used with both handle-operated and key-operated systems
- It’s suitable for retrofit and standard use with our mechanical entry door gears
- The pressure is adjustable, even after installation
- And it gives end users more control over how the door functions day-to-day
If you’re currently specifying roller latches for your entry doors, it may be worth looking at whether the daytime opener could offer a better experience for your customers.
