Mortise Lock - Privacy Function

Compact mortise door lock made from brass and supplied in a chrome plated finish - with privacy function.

The lock is ideal for use as a simple latch but can also be used where a privacy function is required thanks to its pin activated handle block mechanism. In order to use this characteristic of the latch, we recommend viewing our door lock set collection where you will find more information on the other parts required.  The lock forms part of the lockset for part numbers: 84100C and 84200C.

The latch is supplied complete with a matching striker plate.  The latch also has a universal door handing design and can simply be inverted for left or right handed doors.

The lock contains an internal handle righting spring which will help to return the door handle to a horizontal position after use.  For very heavy handles, it is recommended that an additional handle rose spring be used in conjunction with this latch.
