Mortise locks are commonly found in much older building doors before the board cylindrical locks came out. A mortis lock comprises of a lock body which is placed inside mortise cutout of the door, a lock trim such door knobs, lever or pulls, a strike place which is the lining for the hole in the frame where the bolt fits and the keyed cylinder where the locking and unlocking function occurs. The following are mortise lock advantages.
