    Hello,

    I have a small wooded hatch in an external wall. I want to put a 5 lever lock in it that is controlled by a thumb turn on the inside only. I don't anything on the outside, not a key hole or a screw turn.

    What lock would I need to achieve this?

    Many thanks

    How thick is hatch, no good suggesting lock, if it ain't thick enought to fit it..

    It doesn't need to be 5 lever if there's no key. I assume you mean a decent mortice lock? Are good quality slide bolts out of the question?

    Did consider them, but we don't know thickness of the door its being fitted to.

    Thanks all - a Single Euro thumb turn is what I was looking for. After googling, some call it a half euro.

    Btw- Door thickness is 44mm

    Should armour plate it ;) considering that's one way Pablo Escobar style hide-away :D ?
