Mortise Lock with Solid Brass Faceplate - 2 1/4" Backset

The lock and base plate do not fit.

The locking mechanism is beautiful adding that elegance and authentic touch to my 150 year Gothic Revival home.

I have a house that was built in 1888, and am trying to restore it to what it might have looked like 100 years ago. I have bought mortise lock-sets from lowes before, and they are ok, but not great quality. I wanted something that was excellent quality like what would have been in my home originally. This lock set from HOH is awesome! It is heavy duty construction and feels solid. I have no doubt this will last for decades with no issues, which is exactly what I want. The finish is beautiful as well. When looking for quality unique hardware whether for an older home or a new one, I highly recommend House of Hardware. You really can't go wrong with their quality products.

In replacing a missing door, I needed to match 1900 era locks in other doors.

These locks are to replace original ones in a 1880 victorian home that the locks were broken. The new locks fit nicely and are of good quality.

Measure to make sure will fit - I had to do quite a bit of chiseling to get them to fit, and also re-drill the knob and key holes a bit. That said, well worth the effort as this is beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Very solid, smooth construction. NOT a flimsy brass overlay - this is solid and heavy-duty. Would have appreciated to have a diagram for how to reverse the handedness as was a little more involved (and goopy from the grease) than I anticipated. Luckily I had two, so could use the second one to refer to how the spring needed to fit.

The doors in my home are over 100 years old. When the latch broke I just could not go to the local hardware store for a replacement. They don't even make doors the size of the one I have. I checked the Internet for Antique Hardware and your Companies name came up. I contacted them and the person I worked with was extremely helpful. I am completely satisfied.

Got locked in the bathroom too many times, but these mortise locks are difficult to find locally. And it is necessary to buy the complete lockset when you do find one; Our old home door knobs have a unique patina that we wanted maintain. At House of Antiques I was able to find the mortise lock only. Some of the mortise lock reviews noted a cheap design of inferior material. After reading many reviews from the different mortise locks I settled on this one as it had none of those complaints and yet had a decent price point. I am not disappointed.

This product is of very high quality. Somewhat pricy but worth it to me. Had to chop mortis the hole a little but that's not too hard if you have the right tool(s).

Matched original ones with little adjustments.
