Mortice Locks

You can still find mortise locks at hardware stores. It's a safe and durable option, and is ideal to secure doors in areas that are crowded, like hospitals or schools.

It's important to note that you aren't able to use a mortise locking device with an ordinary knob or handle because the bolt that is slotted into the door will only retract after a key is used. The bolt will also not be able to move until the knobs are turned, so it's essential to choose the knob and handle that fit into the lock case perfectly. Consult your lock diagram for any questions.

Mortice locks are usually made from heavy materials that are able to withstand wear and tear. Their size and weight make them extremely difficult to break into even under extreme pressure. They are a good option for areas that are heavily used, like schools and hospitals, where they will be frequently abused.

Mortise deadlocks are available in a variety of styles and security levels, similar to rim locks. There are three-lever mortice locks which are usually used on doors that are inside, like bedrooms or in-between porches.

A mortise lock works by locking into a pocket that is cut into the inside of the door frame. The pocket is referred to as"mortise" and the lock is held in place by a 'lock case' that's attached to the door frame using screws or nails. A collar made of hard material is typically placed on the outside of the lock cylinder, so that it can't be removed with a pipe wrench.

Cylinder Locks

Cylinder locks are a good choice on uPVC as well as timber or composite doors. These locks consist of two components - the lock, which opens the door latch and/or dead bolt and the cylinder that controls it. This design allows both of these parts to be changed separately in the event of need. This can be useful if one of the components is not functioning correctly or if you want to upgrade to a more security cylinder.

The lock cylinder is the component which receives the key and it has a series of pins inside. When a valid key is inserted and the notches on the key push the pins to different levels so they can rotate and open the door. If you use a wrong key, the notches won't align and the majority of the pins will remain in their normal position.

There are many types of cylinder locks that are available that range from simple pin tumblers to high-security versions which are resistant to multiple lock picking methods. The more pins a lock has the more difficult it is to pick. A standard cylinder lock will usually have six pins. However, higher security models could contain up to 13 pins. These extra pins are often called "security pins". Security pins come in many types, including spools that have narrow waists machined which is similar to the cotton spool. They can also be serrated pins with one or more narrow grooves.

A cylinder lock is much easier to install than mortise locks as it does not require the frame of your door to be drill. It is still a good thing to have the door frame measured and fitted by an expert to ensure it is properly positioned. If your door isn't square, you'll require an offset cylinder.

Mullion Locks

They are also ideal for hurricane, high-use and fire rated doors.

During construction, a mullion will be welded to the head of the frame and anchored to the ground. Some mullions can be removed. This makes them a great option for commercial projects in which doors' locations may change frequently. For instance when a business owner is planning to put an employee entrance on the back of their building, they can remove the mullion and allow deliveries and larger furniture through the door.

Conventional mullions require removal of screws or bolts from fittings which are set into the floor and top of the door frame. This is a lengthy and time-consuming procedure that typically requires two people. Repeated removals can also cause the fittings to loosen and deteriorate over time. When the mullions are not in place, large machines, carts and gurneys cannot easily traverse the opening.

A keyed-removable door mullion has been developed to solve this issue. It allows the removal of a mullion effortlessly and quickly from the top bracket using the rim the cylinder. This is a great option when a large, unobstructed opening in the door is required. The PDQ 9300 series removable mullions were designed to be used with Rim Exit Devices 6300/6400 series on pairs of doors.

The latch then releases and the mullion is temporarily removed. The mullion will automatically engage the latch when it's installed.
