摘要 |
Door-lock hardware is constructed of corrosion-resistant material such as stainless steel. Such a material lacks magnetic properties to permit use in association with magnetic switches coupled to signal alarm and security systems. However, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, a door latch of stainless steel or other non-magnetic material includes a ferrous-coated tongue portion to maintain compatibility with such monitors and alarms while providing a higher level of rust- and corrosion-resistance.
