FAQs

A mortice lock is a type of lock that fits into a pocket (mortice) cut into the edge of a door. It consists of a lock body, a strike plate, and often a handle or knob. Mortice locks are known for their strength and security.

A mortice lock is installed within the door itself, while a cylinder lock typically mounts through the door and operates a separate locking mechanism. Mortice locks are generally considered stronger and more secure.

The main types are:

  • Deadlock: A simple lock with a key-operated bolt.
  • Sash lock: Combines a deadlock and a latch, typically with a handle.

A sash lock includes a latch mechanism (operated by a handle) and a deadbolt for additional security. A deadlock only has a bolt that locks with a key.

If you have experience with woodworking and precise measuring, you can install it yourself. However, for optimal security and function, hiring a professional locksmith is recommended.

You’ll typically need a chisel, mallet, drill, screwdriver, tape measure, and pencil. A morticing jig can also make the process easier and more accurate.
