Available in left- and right-handed models, the UltraLatch fits doors 1 3/8, 1 ¾, and 2 inches thick and includes the option of a privacy lock or matching keyed deadbolt. The hardware comes in eight finishes.
Product Name: UltraLatch
Manufacturer: Soss
What it is: Soss, known for its invisible hinges, opens a new door with an ergonomic interior latch line cast to conform to a hand but also open with a hip bump or elbow nudge. Traditional door knobs hamper an armload of laundry and levers have a way of catching coat sleeves, but the UltraLatch opens with a small push–a ½-inch push to be exact.
Why it’s cool: ADA compliant, the latch would be an asset in a hospital or an assisted living community but it’s also stylish enough for the home. The latch, which is suitable for new and existing doors, offsets from the jamb just enough to keep thumbs safe.
