A mortise lock is a locking mechanism with a large case that is installed in a door mortise.
The standardized heavy steel case is smooth, easy to mortise and assures a snug and solid fit in the door mortise.  Vital interior working parts are made of solid, hot forged brass or steel for a lifetime of trouble-free operation.  An armored front provides maximum strength and protection against tampering.  Most metal door and frame manufacturers have provided reinforcements for Baldwin mortise locks.

The Baldwin mortise lock is world renowned for quality and security. All lock cases are constructed of heavy gauge steel, and plated with a rust resistant coating to retard oxidation. Working parts are made of solid forged brass, precisely machined for maximum strength and a lifetime of smooth operation. Baldwin forged brass parts offer 250% greater tensile strength than cast components, making Baldwin mortise locks the perfect companion for Baldwin premium trim and entrance locks.
