Mortice Locks
A mortice lock is a secure and seamless solution to your customer’s front door security as it's embedded directly into the timber door. We manufacture and stock both deadlock and sashlock style mortice locks in a variety of security levels.
From the standard 3 lever to the British Standard Fortress 5 lever system, that complies with industry and insurance standards. The hardened steel assembly resists drilling and hacksawing and makes our Fortress mortice lock a dependable addition to home and door security.
We also supply keyless egress options and rebate kits, suitable for sashlock or deadlocks, with instruction for application; plus a range of external rim locks too.
