What is Mortise Castle?

Mortise lock is a very powerful lock, which requires installation to be deeply placed in the wood door frame. It is mainly the feature of the correct installation of the skills of top houses, because it correctly installs the level of wood processing skills. This kind of castle is known for its strength and safety.

The concealment of concealing gets its name from the mortar, a hole that needs to be cut into the door to insert the locking mechanism. Deadbolt, locking mechanism and lock button are located in a metal box, which sometimes requires a hole of 15 inches (38.1 cm) to cut deep into the door. For this purpose, in 1909, cylindrical locks were developed by a man named Walter Schlage. This type of lock required significantly less work for proper installation and needed only two bored holes.

As a result of the invention of C Cylindrical Lock, the demand for locks has decreased. They are usually considered a feature of houses made before 1940 or for very luxurious houses. Cheaper houses are sometimes they have only nand the front door to add a class touch.

For other homeowners, the cost of the castle is sometimes concealed by irrelevant with regard to the increased home safety. The style of the chateau and Deadbolt most Mortis castles make it one of the strongest chateaux available. The fact that it is sinking so deep into the door means that it also participates in the forces of the door itself and adds another layer of security.

Just because Mortise Castle is strong, does not mean that it is reliable. Although its complicated locking mechanism is a barrier to lock selections, it can be overcome in other indirect ways. Slipping a plastic card, such as a credit card, between the doors and the threat to force Deadbolt is a common burglary method. This method works best on a dead end that is not just in the door.

The lock of concealment should not be confused with the latch. Mortise latch is very similar to the appearance to the castleEC, with a metal box holds a mechanism that must be set in the door. However, the latch has only a button, not blind and does not block.
