What Is a Mortise Lock?
A mortise lock is a locking mechanism installed into a mortise (a deep cutout) in the edge of a door. This setup allows for a more secure and stable fit than surface-mounted locks. Mortise locks typically consist of a lock body, handle, latch, and often a separate deadbolt function. Their solid construction makes them ideal for both residential and commercial use.
