Understanding Bathroom Locks

Bathroom locks are designed specifically for locking bathroom doors. They typically use a bathroom turn and release mechanism, allowing for easy locking from the inside and emergency unlocking from the outside with a coin or flat screwdriver.

Mortice Locks Explained

Mortice lever locks, commonly fitted to wooden doors, can also be used in steel, aluminum, and composite doors. They are secured from both sides with a key, throwing the deadbolt into place. Mortice locks are installed within the door, providing a clean and secure fit.

Types of Lever Locks

In the UK, various lever locks are available, including dead locks (operated by key only) and sash locks (featuring both a deadbolt and a latch). For external doors, we recommend using a British Standard BS3621 product for maximum security.

Installation Tips

When replacing a mortice lock, be prepared for potential size differences. Upgrading to a more secure lock may require enlarging the existing hole with a hammer and chisel. For new timber doors, consider using Souber’s DBB morticer for efficient installation.

Final Considerations

Ensure your door meets the minimum thickness requirement of 44mm as recommended by the Master Locksmith Association. A properly fitted lever mortice lock enhances security by engaging a bolt into a metal keep or strike, preventing unauthorized access.
