What Is A Mortise Lock?

Linus Yale, Jr. patented the first mortise cylinder lock in 1865, globally revolutionizing the modern lock. Mortise locks are still widely used in Europe but have started popping up again in new building construction. Take it from us, mortise locks are making a comeback here in the US and could be exactly what you need to protect your property.

To install a mortise lock, a pocket (or mortise) needs to be bored out of your door. The lock body is then inserted inside. The trim of the mortise lock, which is what’s seen on the outside of the door, is then installed, along with the mortise cylinder.

The vast variety of trim styles allows you to choose a unique mortise lock that suits you best.
