What is a Mortise Lock?
A mortise lock is a type of locking mechanism that is installed into a pocket or "mortise" cut into the edge of a door. This installation method makes it inherently more secure and sturdy compared to surface-mounted locks. Mortise locks typically consist of a rectangular box that houses the locking mechanism, a handle or knob to operate the lock, and a strike plate to anchor the bolt or latch into the door frame. They are known for their reliability and durability, often used in commercial settings and older residential properties due to their ability to withstand heavy use and resist tampering. The design of mortise locks also allows for a wide variety of lock functions, making them versatile for different security needs.
Types of Mortise Locks
Hookbolt, deadbolt, and deadlatch mortise locks each serve distinct purposes. A hookbolt features a hook-shaped bolt, ideal for sliding doors, as it secures the door against lifting from its track. A deadbolt employs a solid, rectangular bolt that extends deeply into the door frame, providing robust security for hinged doors by resisting forced entry. The deadlatch, meanwhile, includes a pivoting latch bolt that retracts with a handle from the inside or a key from the outside, also featuring an anti-lockout mechanism to prevent accidental locking. Each type offers specific advantages tailored to different security needs and door types.
High Security Cylinders
A high-security cylinder in a mortise cassette provides superior protection for commercial settings. These cylinders feature advanced anti-pick, anti-drill mechanisms, and complex keyways that greatly enhance security against lockpicking and forced entry. They also include patented key control systems to prevent unauthorized key duplication, crucial for maintaining secure access. Integrated within a durable mortise cassette, these high-security cylinders offer a robust solution for businesses needing to protect sensitive information or valuable assets, ensuring a high level of security and peace of mind for owners and stakeholders.
