With a 76mm casing, it fits the most common mortice lock pocket found in standard residential and light commercial timber doors.

Choose Your Faceplate Finish
This lock is available with two faceplate finishes — select the option that best coordinates with your door handles and other hardware:
-
Chrome Plated Faceplate — a cool, bright silver tone that pairs well with satin nickel, polished chrome, or stainless steel door handles. The go-to choice for modern and contemporary interiors.
-
Brass Plated Faceplate — a warm gold tone that coordinates with antique brass, satin brass, or gold-finish door handles. Ideal for period homes, farmhouse interiors, and warm-contemporary schemes.
Note: the faceplate finish is a cosmetic detail only — both variants offer identical locking performance and security.

What Is a Mortice Lock?
A mortice lock fits into a pocket (mortice) cut into the edge of the door, keeping the lock body concealed within the door itself. This makes it more secure and neater in appearance than a surface-mounted rim lock. Mortice locks are the standard lock type for timber interior doors in South African homes and are operated by a door handle on a spindle that retracts the latch, with the key deadbolting the door when required.
