Description

This classic interior mortise lock is a reproduction of those used during the early 20th century. It features a 5/32” thick solid-brass face plate with a steel case and interior components. Available in three of our most popular finishes, it’s suited for almost any décor. The set comes complete with two brass skeleton keys and is 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.

Dimensions. Faceplate: 5 1/4" T x 15/16" W. Strike Plate: 3 7/8" T x 15/16" W with 5/8" tongue. Lock Box: 3 9/16" T x 9/16" W x 3 1/8" D. The distance from the center of the knob hub to the center of the round part of the keyhole is 2 3/16". Knob hub fits spindle sizes: 7mm, 8mm, and 9/32". The backset is 2 1/2".

Newer versions no longer fit 9/32"" spindles

Comments:

I've ordered dozens of these, along with dozens of 9/32"" spindles... Up until about 6 months ago, the spindles fit perfectly on the diagonal orientation of the lock hub. Now the hub is a smidge too small... Like, maybe 1/64"" too small. The same spindles no longer fit. I believe there's a manufacturing tolerance issue at work here, and I have alerted HoAH

Customer Service

Comments:

I have said for more years than I care to admit Customer Service no longer exists. That is definitely NOT the case in regard to House of Antiques. Don't recall the gentlemen's name I spoke to when ordering your products but, he was without a doubt the most helpful and knowledgeable salesperson I have worked with in many years. Have yet to complete the installation due to the fact it is for an exterior door and the weather has been a little cold lately. That is the only reason I am unable to comment on installation

Mortise Replacement Assembly

Comments:

Using reclaimed and restored items where possible the super-she-shed is coming along nicely. The door however was in need of some TLC. After dealing with that the hardware was beyond it's useful life. The same hinges, great, the lock assembly, not so much. The new hardware fit nicely with some tweaking, accepted the original knobs, through rod and plates. It made the entire setup look original, older, used and completely functional. Being new construction I built a modified frame and the door seals just like a modern door. Possibly better. The latch has sufficient wiggle room to avoid future stress/use damage and I did not need to modify the door to fit the lock as was suggested might be necessary. Overall, extremely satisfied with the outcome.

Exactly what I needed and easy to install

Comments:

Replaced a part that wasn't working anymore. Fit perfectly and easily.

products are authentic looking and fit with older components

Comments:

refinishing old doors that had good mortis lock bodies but needed knobs and plates that were period correct and in good shape.

Beats my expectations on all points.

Comments:

I bought a new lockset that replicated the original 80 year old lockset perfectly. For the best outcome make sure the measurements are precise and consult a professional if needed.

Closest replacement lock I could find.
