A mortice lock is installed into a prepared recess in the edge of a door, allowing the lock body to sit largely concealed within the door. The latch and locking mechanism then operate with compatible door furniture and the supplied or specified key system.

What Is a 2 Lever Mortice Lock?

A 2-lever mortice lock uses an internal lever mechanism operated by the correct key. The lock body is recessed into the door rather than being mounted entirely on the surface.

This type of lock is commonly considered for general-purpose internal or lower-security applications, depending on the specific product and building requirements.

For exterior entrance doors or areas requiring higher security, assess whether a higher-security lock is more appropriate.

• New building projects

Always consider the security requirements of the particular door before selecting a lock.

Mortice Installation

A mortice lock requires a correctly sized recess to be prepared in the edge of the door. Accurate positioning is important so that the latch, lock, spindle, keyhole and strike plate align correctly.

Before installation:

• Check the door thickness.
• Confirm the lock casing dimensions.
• Check the required backset.
• Mark the lock position accurately.
• Prepare the mortice carefully.
• Align the spindle and keyhole.
• Position the strike plate correctly.
• Test the latch and locking action before completing installation.

When replacing an existing mortice lock, compare the dimensions of the old and new lock bodies before purchasing.

Replacement Locksets

If the Eureka 2 Lever Mortice Lockset is being used as a replacement, matching the existing lock dimensions can reduce the amount of modification required.

Check:

• Lock body height
• Lock body depth
• Backset
• Spindle position
• Keyhole position
• Faceplate dimensions
• Door thickness
• Strike plate position

Do not assume that all 2-lever mortice locks have identical dimensions.

Security Considerations

The number of levers is one factor in the design of a traditional lever lock, but overall security depends on the complete lock construction, door, frame, strike arrangement and installation quality.

For main entrance doors, high-value areas or applications requiring increased security, consider whether a more security-focused lock or additional locking hardware is appropriate.

Care and Maintenance

Keep the lock mechanism clean and periodically check that the door operates without excessive resistance.

Tighten loose door furniture where necessary and ensure the door remains correctly aligned with the frame. A poorly aligned door can place unnecessary strain on the latch and locking mechanism.

Use only suitable lock lubricant if lubrication is required. Avoid forcing a key that does not turn normally.
