Mortise Locks
Upgrade Your Home Security with High-Quality Mortise Locksets
A mortise lock is a lock that requires a “pocket” – the “mortise” – to be cut into the edge of doors or piece of furniture into which the lock is to be fitted. They have handles, unlike door knobs of regular doors.
In most parts of the world, mortise lock sets are found on older buildings constructed before the advent of bored cylindrical locks, but they have recently been more commonly put to use in commercial and upmarket residential construction in the U.S and New York.
How do you install Mortise lock sets?
The installation of one of these mortise locks or lock set can be undertaken by the average homeowner with a working knowledge of basic woodworking tools and methods, though many installation specialists suggest using a mortising jig which makes the part of cutting of the pocket a simple operation. Still, the subsequent installation of the external trim can still prove problematic if you are inexperienced with the hardware.
