Mortise Lock
Strong, Secure, and Built to Last
Mortise locks are known for their durability, classic design, and high level of security. Commonly used in both historic homes and modern commercial buildings, these locks are set into a pocket within the door, offering a secure fit and a clean, finished appearance. If you’re looking for a locking system that blends strength and style, a mortise lock may be the right choice for your property.
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.
Why Choose a Mortise Lock?
Enhanced Security – The multi-lever design and recessed installation provide stronger resistance to forced entry.
Long-Lasting Hardware – Designed for heavy use, mortise locks are often made from durable materials like brass or stainless steel.
Timeless Style – Available in classic and modern finishes, mortise locks complement various architectural styles.
Versatility – Suitable for exterior and interior doors, they work well for both single and double-door configurations.
High Compatibility – Mortise locks can be paired with master key systems, electronic access, or restricted keyways.

You want a more secure alternative to standard cylindrical locks
You’re upgrading a commercial entryway or high-traffic access point
