The hush latch is a modified striking plate, recessed into the door frame for use with a standard mortice latch or lock. It is designed to minimise the resistance standard latchbolts often encounter when they make contact with a traditional strikeplate.

This allows door closer power to be kept to a minimum and overcomes the difficulties and inconvenience that strongly sprung door closers present to children, the old, the infirm or those with a disability.
