2026 Horizontal Bathroom Mortice Sashlock

This Union 2226 bathroom mortice sash lock is an excellent choice for enhancing the security and functionality of your residential, internal wooden bathroom doors. 

Crafted with precision, this lock features a robust grey case and unique measurements that distinguish it from other mortice locks. For detailed specifications, please refer to the accompanying line drawing.

Available in polished brass or satin chrome finishes, this lock not only provides security but also adds a touch of elegance to your bathroom decor. 

The deadbolt extends 12.5mm, ensuring a secure closure. For those seeking higher security or the option to lock the bathroom door from the outside, we recommend considering a euro case mortice lock equipped with a key and turn euro cylinder.

From the inside, simply turn the thumb turn to lock or unlock the deadbolt. In case of emergencies, the deadbolt can be easily operated from the outside using the emergency release feature.

The latch can be withdrawn from either side by moving the handle, providing convenience and ease of use. 

With an 8mm latch follower and a 5mm deadbolt follower, this lock is designed for compatibility with a variety of door setups. It comes complete with a striking plate that matches the lock's finish, ensuring a cohesive look.

This lock is suitable for most internal wooden doors and is non-handed, making it versatile for left or right-hinged doors that open inwards or outwards. 

Please note that these locks do not utilize keys and cannot be keyed alike, ensuring unique security for each installation.

We also offer a selection of associated parts, including bathroom turns, releases, and lever bathroom furniture in various finishes. You can easily select the products you need from the associated products section on this page.

Keep in mind that these locks are not suitable for fire doors, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Bathroom door locks serve their purpose effectively by securing bathroom doors without the need for traditional keys. Instead, they typically utilize a bathroom turn and release mechanism or lever bathroom handles. The locking mechanism is straightforward: simply rotate the turn to engage the deadbolt from the inside, while the outside release is designed for emergency situations, operable with a coin or flat screwdriver.

Mortice lever locks, commonly found on wooden doors, can also be used in steel, aluminum, and composite doors. These locks are operated with a key, which throws the deadbolt, providing robust security.

In the UK, various types of lever locks are available. Dead locks are key-operated only, while sash locks feature both a deadbolt and a latch, operated by a handle. Lever mortice deadlocks are ideal for front or back doors, with British Standard BS3621 products recommended for external doors to maximize security.

When replacing an existing lever mortice lock, be aware that the new lock may be larger due to enhanced security features or design changes. Adjustments to the door may be necessary, and we recommend using Souber’s DBB morticer for efficient installation.

Ensure your door is thick enough to accommodate the mortice lock, with a minimum thickness of 44mm recommended by the Master Locksmith Association.

A lever mortice lock secures a door by throwing a bolt into a metal keep or strike, preventing unauthorized access. The bolt can be locked or unlocked from either side with a key, ensuring reliable security.
