A Mortice Lock is one of the most trusted and widely used locking systems for residential and commercial properties. Fitted into a pocket (or “mortice”) cut within the door, this type of lock provides a high level of security and durability. Known for its strength and reliability, a mortice lock is a popular choice for wooden doors, offering long-lasting protection against unauthorized access.

Mortice locks come in different types, with the most common being the sashlock and the deadlock. A sashlock combines a latch and a deadbolt, allowing the door to be opened with a handle and locked with a key. On the other hand, a deadlock operates only with a key, providing an extra layer of security. These locks are often rated under British Standards, such as BS3621, which ensures they meet strict security requirements and are often recommended by insurance companies.
