Description

This heavy-duty, entrance mortise lock is an excellent choice for new, or as a replacement on older exterior doors. Designed for a 2 3/4" backset, it features solid-brass strike and faceplates, and comes equipped with an anti-friction latch for smooth operation. Its auxiliary latch allows for added security. This set comes complete with a 1 1/8" cylinder, three standard keys, and is reversible for left or right-hand doors. Match the decor of any room with your choice of two popular finishes.

When using this as a replacement lock, it is important to measure existing cutouts on your door, including the backset, face plate, and mortise pocket. Some modification of your cutouts may be required.

Dimensions: Backset: 2 3/4". Lock box: 5 5/8" H x 3 3/4" D x 13/16" thick. C-C spacing from cylinder to thumb latch actuator is 4 5/8". C-C spacing from cylinder to knob hub is 3 7/16" (knob hub fits 7mm spindles). C-C spacing from cylinder to thumb turn hub is 2 1/4". Faceplate: 8" H x 1 1/4" W. Strike plate: 4 7/8" H x 1 1/4" W. Tongue: 5/8" projection. Complete with a 1 1/8" cylinder, three standard keys and is field reversible for left or right hand doors.

This lock has egress and can cause lock outs if the stop button is not disengaged when exiting the door.

Hardware Tip

Thumb latch: Usually refers to a thumbpiece above the door handle, which when depressed by the thumb, unlatches the door.

As stated on the product ""This lock has egress and can cause lock outs if the stop button is not disengaged when exiting the door."" Note this is EGRESS ONLY. Most all good mortise have stop buttons on the side to make the lockset egress only as an option. This is always egress only and you have to push the stop button every time you use the door in order to use the door without a key. I was locked out of my house 3 times getting the mail and watering the garden. The description does not say this. All good locksets have egress option but not egress only. I'm so extremely disappointed and the directions don't state this either. This is pretty unusable for a household that uses the front area of the house and need to shut the door but still want to enter without a key... Unusable for average households especially if you have children, easy to lock yourself out of the house.

Requires some skill

Comments:

This required Some door modification, however this door has not worked this well in the 18 years we have owned this house. A locksmith that looked at the old latch said ""are no longer available"" WELL... this did require some wood chisel work and one new hole and a little filler but after paint you would not know that this was not the 1934 original!!!!
