A mortise lock is the lock that requires a pocket in the door edge or a ‘mortise’ in which the lock will be fitted. It is very common for commercial buildings to install such lock sets because these assure a good security level and come with many great designs. Lock-n-go-pro’s team works with the best brands on the market and can offer you a variety of mortise locks that will fit perfectly to your commercial doors.

The mortise locks are more preferred in Europe countries rather than cylindrical locks and now their popularity in USA is in progress. This is because these types of locks are generally more stable and secure due to this special cut in the door where the mortise lock is fitted. As you can observe, installing mortise locks require special door preparation, which refers to the pocket with perfect dimensions for the lock.

The mortise lock parts

 
Here are the elements that form a common mortise lock:

– The lock body, which refers to the part inside the mortise cut-out in the door

– The lock trim, which you can select from many designs, levers, handle sets and pulls

– A strike plate

– The keyed cylinder, which is responsible for the locking/unlocking function

A mortise lock is operated generally by two mechanism types, euro cylinder or by integral levers. If you want to increase the security level you should look for the type of locks that include more levers.
