CARBINE · NIGHT HAWK ADVANCE
Everyday self-latching rim lock, silver or matte black
Carbine Night Hawk Advance is a modern rim night latch intended as a possible replacement for older night latches on compatible doors. It provides holdback, reversible stainless-steel latching, concealed mounting and two contemporary finishes.

Where it is used and how it works
Carbine provides concealed fixing, additional mounting holes and optional metal strikes. These can assist with replacement work, but the existing preparation and frame still need inspection.
Choose a finish to suit the existing hardware
The silver powder-coated case suits many conventional doors, while the matte black version coordinates with contemporary black hinges, handles and other door furniture.
Holdback and latch reversal
Advance provides a holdback function that can be disabled during installation. Its stainless latch tongue can be reversed with a 2.5 mm Allen key for compatible opening directions. Carbine does not describe the Pro’s directional holdback selector as an Advance feature.

Replacement and installation checks
Night Hawk models use a nominal 60 mm backset and CRC 201-type rim cylinder interface where specified. Carbine’s installation instructions describe a 32 mm through-hole for a new rim-cylinder installation and require the gap between the lock and strike to be minimised and not exceed 5 mm. Exact markings and drilling must follow the original manufacturer template.
- Check door material, thickness, hinged opening direction and exact position of the existing lock.
- Take photos of the external rim cylinder, internal lock case, mounting area and frame strike, with a ruler where possible.
- Measure the original backset, cylinder centre, screw positions, strike clearance and damaged areas of the frame.
- Confirm if the customer expects self-latching, holdback, privacy or deliberate deadbolt locking.
- Check cylinder profile and matching restricted or master key system before quoting keyed-alike operation.
- Assess any fire door, emergency exit, accessibility or shared access requirements before changing lock function.

Frequently asked questions
Does it lock automatically?
It is a spring-latching night latch when holdback is not engaged. The selected holdback setup changes how it behaves.
Is it available in black?
Yes. Carbine lists a matte black powder-coated option.
Will it replace an old rim night latch?
Often possible, but photographs and measurements are needed to confirm the bore, mounting and strike.
Can ABETTA rekey this lock?
Many suitable Carbine CRC rim cylinders can be rekeyed or selected for compatible keyed-alike and master-key applications. That depends on the actual cylinder, key profile and any restricted system controls. Send a picture of the existing cylinder and key rather than assuming compatibility.
