Distinctive Mortise Locks
Mortise locks gained widespread popularity in the United States during the Victorian Era. Most people have seen these distinctive locks at one time or another. They usually include a metal faceplate installed beneath the door handle.
What makes one of these locks so remarkable?
The locking mechanism nestles inside a pocket hollowed inside the door, a compartment called a “mortise” by woodworkers. Today, interior designers who decorate in a vintage or Victorian motif sometimes desire these attractive locks for interior doors.
The Advantage Of Mortise Locks
Mortise locks gained popularity in the past for a reason. Since the lock mechanism sits within a cavity inside a solid core door, it offers much better resistance against lock picking. The exterior metal face plate supplies an additional barrier.
Perhaps for this reason, mortise locks have undergone a resurgence in the modern era. They help secure a variety of doors in homes and businesses. Today, many commercial lock designers use them in metal doors.
