What is a Mortice Deadlock?

Posted by Bob Bulmer on Mon 25th February 2008 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Doors,  Security

Due to security concerns relating to nightlatches, many individuals choose to fit an additional mortice deadlock. This saves on replacing the nightlatch in it’s entirety.

The mortice deadlock is usually fitted lower down the door. The lock which has a single bolt, inserts into a hole - called a mortice which is cut into the door. Cheaper two lever mortice locks should really be replaced by a new five lever mortice lock of the same size. This should add an extra layer of security.
