What Are Mortise Locks?
A mortise lock consists of a lock body installed within a recess in the door (“mortise”), a lock trim available in assorted styles, a strike plate, and a keyed cylinder. Common in Europe for many years, mortise locks have become increasingly popular in the United States due to a design that makes them resistant to tampering.
Mortise Lock Installation
When we install your locks, careful measurements are taken to ensure the required mechanisms and hardware will fit. Doors generally need to be between 1 3/4 inches to three inches in thickness for installation. Our skilled, courteous technicians will take care of everything from preparing the door to cleaning up after installation is complete.

Five Reasons To Consider Mortise Locks For Your Home Or Office
# 1. Added Security
When a door with a mortise lock is ajar, only the face plate is visible. This type of lock provides added security since there are different levers and notches that make entrance without a key nearly impossible.
# 2. Different Size Options
These versatile locks are available in a variety of sizes. When replacing them, we’ll ensure dimensions are matched so new holes won’t have to made in the lock body.
# 3. Inside/Outside Locking
With a mortise lock, you’ll have the option of using a dual locking function. A switch can leave the door unlocked on the inside while locking it from the outside.
# 4. Antique Charm
The mortise lock has retained its antique charm and basic design over the years. You won’t have to settle for a plain, boring handle. Our commercial and residential locksmiths know how to properly install the more complex hardware that goes along with such locks.
# 5. Passage Function
A mortise lock has a special function that will allow the door to be opened and closed without locking. This feature is often preferred on internal doors for bathrooms and children’s rooms for safety reasons.
