Mortice & Deadlocks

One of the most readily available and secure types of lock is the mortice lock. These earned their name thanks to the pocket (or mortice) that the bolt slots into, which is cut into the internal face of the doorframe. When the bolt is in the mortice, the door is unable to move and is securely locked.

These locks are typically found in wooden doors, and come in a range of security styles. Three lever for a bedroom door or five lever for the front or rear door for additional security.
