Mortise locks are not the new kid on the block, they were installed into most interior and exterior doors from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. Because of their customizable appearance there has been a renewed interest in the use of mortise locks. Builders and architects use them for commercial and high-end residential properties.

Mortise locks can be integrated into the property owner’s decorating scheme. They can have cast knobs and levers, be ornate or modern looking and come in varying shapes and sizes. They also offer a high degree of security and functionality. Modern mortise locks are manufactured of stamped metal and have been improved with armored fronts and hardened bolts that offer protection against vandalism.
