Cylinder profile mortice locks offer an extra layer of security that makes them highly desirable for both residential and commercial premises. Unlike traditional lever-based systems, these locks utilise a cylinder barrel. Depending on the cylinder system used, it can reduce the risk of picking or bumping, elevating the lock's resistance to forced entry.

Compatible with a wide array of cylinder platforms, cylinder mortice locks provide versatile and customisable security solutions. Facility managers and contractors, often prefer these locks for their blend of high-security features and ease of integration into existing security systems. Master keyed cylinders can be used in conjunction with a sashlock, deadlock, or escape locks. DIN standard locks also allow for the same size mortice to be cut out for different functions of lock.

Mortice deadlocks feature a single locking mechanism, activated by a lever key or cylinder barrel, rendering the door bolt immovable from both sides when engaged. 5 lever deadlocks often comply with British Standard BS3621, and many mortice deadlocks are resistant to drilling and picking, depending on the cylinder being used. Deadlocks can be used in conjunction with a separate door latch to allow lever handle or door knob operation.

Mortice sashlocks combine the best of both worlds: a latch and a deadlock mechanism within one case. Operated with a key and a door handle, the latch allows for easy passage during daytime hours, while the deadlock offers enhanced security at night or when the property is unoccupied. Often available with 3 or 5 levers, or cylinder locking, these locks can meet varying security requirements.

The added convenience of the latch functionality makes mortice sashlocks highly versatile, commonly used in internal doors and partitioned spaces. Their dual functionality resonates well with facility management companies and building contractors who seek a balanced security solution that doesn't compromise on convenience.

Commercial and Industrial Strength

For places requiring high security like offices and warehouses, Mortice Locks make the preferred choice due to their resilience and reliability. As they are cut into the door, they are more tamper-resistant than a surface mounted rim lock.

Fire Door Locks

A variety of mortice door locks can be installed to fire rated doors. Ensure that they are CE marked and whether they need to be installed with an intumescent lock jacket to comply with fire test evidence. This would usually be the case on hour rated FD60 fire doors.
