Our Services

Complete Mortise Lock Services

We handle everything related to mortise locks, from installation to full mechanism rebuilds.

Mortise Lock Installation

Installing a mortise lock requires skill, accuracy, and the right tools. We begin by evaluating the door’s material, thickness, and frame alignment to determine the best placement for the pocket cut. Once the mortise pocket is prepared, we fit the lock body into the door, ensure perfect alignment with the latch and deadbolt, and install the trim hardware so everything operates smoothly. For commercial doors, we ensure the hardware meets required safety and security standards. For residential doors, we match the style and finish to the home’s aesthetics while providing enhanced security.

Mortise Lock Repair

Mortise locks have more moving parts than standard locks, which means wear can occur in different areas of the mechanism. When your mortise lock becomes stiff, jams, or stops latching correctly, it usually means something inside the lock body has worn out or shifted. We disassemble the mechanism, clean and repair the internal components, adjust springs and gears, and restore the lock to its original smoothness. Many mortise locks found in older or historic homes can be repaired even when the hardware is decades old. We restore the mechanism without replacing the entire lock whenever possible.

Mortise Lock Replacement

Sometimes the internal components are too worn or damaged to repair. In those cases, we replace the mortise lock body with a modern, durable unit that fits your existing door and hardware. Mortise lock replacement is also common when upgrading to: High-security mortise systems Keyless mortise mechanisms Commercial-grade hardware for heavy traffic ADA-compliant lever sets We remove the old lock, maintain or improve the mortise cut, and install new hardware for seamless operation.

Cylinder Replacement & Rekeying for Mortise Locks

One advantage of mortise locks is that the cylinder is separate from the lock body. This means you can rekey or replace the cylinder without removing the entire mechanism. Whether you lost keys, need to restrict access, or want tighter security, we rekey the lock or install a new cylinder that matches your key system. For businesses, we can incorporate mortise cylinders into master key systems or restricted keyway systems for better access control.

Mortise Lock Adjustment & Maintenance

Doors shift, frames settle, and hardware wears. Mortise locks often need periodic adjustment to maintain smooth operation. Misalignment can cause sticking, hard turning, or incomplete latching. We inspect the lock, hinges, strike plate, and door frame to identify the cause and restore perfect alignment. Regular maintenance dramatically extends the lifespan of mortise hardware.

Mortise Lock Upgrades for Enhanced Security

Many businesses and homeowners choose to upgrade their mortise locks to stronger or smarter systems. We offer upgrades that include high-security cylinders, reinforced strike plates, heavy-duty commercial mortise bodies, and smart-enabled mortise locks for remote access or keypad entry. These upgrades significantly increase resistance to forced entry, provide better key control, and enhance overall door security without changing the look of the door.
