Mortise Locks : Historic Home Hardware for Authentic Antique Restoration Originals

Mortise Locks

Although the antique lock, or latch, is the least visible on your antique door, it is a very important part. The most beautiful set doesn't do much good if the door doesn't open, close and/or lock properly. If you are purchasing several antique hardware parts to create your own "set", be sure to measure carefully that they fit the lock you choose. I will double check that they all fit together before confirming your order. The easy part is that almost all antique mortise locks are reversible for right and left hand doors. I have many more locks so if you need a special measurement please contact me. Please also refer to Helpful Information on how to measure and install antique mortise locks.
