Thread: cerrojo muerto?

Does anybody know if cerrojo muerto is used in Spain for dead bolt or pestillo is better?
thanks!

En Argentina usamos cerrojo o pestillo o incluso pasador. (pasador porque pasa de un lado a otro y traba la puerta, pero si es para Am Lat creo que cerrojo o pestillo estàn bien)
Saludos

en españa se utiliza mas pestillo

"Pestillo" for a bolt, anything requiring a key is "cerrojo" here in Spain. However, in english there can be locks requiring a key described as using dead bolts, or as "dead locks" because they need to be closed as well as opened with a key.

Hi!

I'm from Spain and we never use "cerrojo muerto" to refer to a bolt. We use cerrojo o pestillo. So, both are correct.

Un saludo,

Incluso utilizamos también "pasador". Pero siempre vivo, no muerto...
