Half Mortise Lock Diagram

Antique Furniture Locks are reproductions used on period and country furniture of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Quality resembles historic originals. Locks are made with a secure lever locking mechanism, steel box and brass plate. 

Strikes were rarely used with this type half mortise lock as wood was notched to accept bolt. However if preferred a generic strike (#4521) is available separately. Made In England

Select door locks by side door is hinged on. When using on drawers please note that keyholes are off-center. Lock should be positioned to account for off center keyhole.

Replacing Half Mortise Locks

Keyhole location measurement is critical. Replacement lock-keyhole-location must match location of keyhole in furniture.

To measure: easiest to measure old lock, if you have it:

  • Lock Keyhole Location: distance between selvedge-edge - where bolt shoots through, to lock pin. This measurement is known as the backset.
  • Furniture Keyhole Cutout Location: distance between furniture-edge to estimated location of lock pin in furniture keyhole.

Half Morticed Locks

Worked well. No strike plates were available for our installation so the wood was notched to receive the bolt.

Excellent Lock

Although I have not yet installed the small cabinet lock I purchased, I love the quality and smooth operation of the lock. It was exactly what I was looking for.
