If the latch of a lock<\/a> breaks and slides into the strike plate attached to the door frame (thereby also blocking the door), this is referred to as a broken latch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A latch can become damaged or break, for example, if a door to an apartment, room, or house is slammed shut with force.<\/p>\n

The latch should not be confused with the deadbolt. (In practice, however, this often happens!)<\/p>\n

While a defective deadbolt (especially in multi-point locking systems) can also cause people to lock themselves out of their home, locksmiths encounter broken latches far more often than broken deadbolts.<\/p>\n
