Reproduction Privacy Mortise Lock with Thumbturn - 2 1/2" Backset

Our Reproduction Privacy Mortise Lock with Thumbturn and 2 1/2-Inch Backset was inspired by those used during the early 20th century on bedroom and bathroom doors. It features a 5/32" thick solid-brass face plate with a steel case and interior components. Available in an array of popular finish options, it is suited for almost any decor. The set includes a solid brass thumbturn with oval escutcheon but can also be used with privacy backplates. Reversible for left or right-hand doors.

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.
