Description
Mortise locks are the gold standard of commercial security, featuring a heavy-duty lock body installed deep inside a pocket (mortise) cut into the door's edge. This embedded design makes them far more resistant to forced entry, prying, and tampering than surface-mounted locks. Known for their superior durability and longevity, mortise locks offer unparalleled security and versatility for high-traffic and high-security applications.
Features & Benefits of Mortise Locks
Choose your mortise locks for light or standard-duty commercial doors. You'll get two operating keys with each lock or lever set. Mortise commercial door locks work for several standard door types, such as
- Passage
- Exit
- Privacy
- Office
- Entry
- Storeroom
Note that the lock chassis on each mortise door lockset includes heavy-gauge steel with zinc dichromate for corrosion resistance, making it the lock of choice for exterior applications. The lever is made with zinc and a combination of brass, bronze and stainless steel.
Every CDF entry door mortise lockset is certified and plated to match Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) symbols.
Mortise Locksets vs. Cylindrical Door Locks
While both mortise locksets and cylinder door locks are suitable for commercial use, cylindrical locks are also frequently used in residential doors. In fact, cylindrical locks are the most common type of door lock for all uses. Mortise locksets have the advantage of being more durable and offering a higher degree of security, two characteristics that make them highly suitable for commercial applications.
