    Half Mortise Box Lock Measurement Diagram

    Economical Box Locks, with half mortise design, are used on chests and boxes with lift lids. Lock is mortised into interior of box front and strike attaches underneath lid. When closed, strike drops down into lock.

    Steel Half Mortise Box Lock, 1 inch Backset

    The box lock finished my box very well, giving it a professional look. I am very pleased with it. I learned I needed to be careful with the key. One lock was too tight and I happen to break the key.
