Reproduction Mortise Lock with Solid Brass Faceplate in Antique-by-Hand - 2 1/2" Backset

This classic interior mortise lock is a reproduction of those used during the early 20th century. It features a 5/32" thick solid-brass face plate with a steel case and interior components. Presented in our exclusive Antique-by-Hand finish, it ages gracefully over time into a beautiful natural patina. Comes complete with two brass skeleton keys and is reversible for left-hand or right-hand doors.

When using this as a replacement lock, it is important to measure existing cutouts on your door, including the backset, face plate, and mortise pocket. Some modification of your cutouts may be required.
