Mortise locks offer superior security and durability compared to standard cylindrical locks, making them popular in commercial buildings, older homes, and high-security applications. NC Local Locksmith provides expert mortise lock changing, repair, and installation services for all mortise lock brands and configurations.
Professional Mortise Lock Service
We change mortise locks for security upgrades, replace damaged or worn locks, update old hardware to modern standards, install mortise locks in new doors, and convert from cylindrical to mortise systems. Mortise locks fit into a pocket (mortise) cut into the door edge and contain complex mechanisms that provide multiple locking points and greater strength.
These locks typically include a deadbolt, latch bolt, and sometimes additional security features like night latches or double-cylinder options. The complexity requires professional installation and service to ensure proper operation.
Why Change Your Mortise Locks?
Security concerns after break-in attempts, worn internal components causing malfunction, lost keys requiring rekey or replacement, upgrading to higher security standards, and matching new building aesthetics all necessitate mortise lock changes. We assess your current locks and recommend whether changing, rekeying, or repairing best meets your needs.
Complete Installation Service
Changing mortise locks involves precise fitting and alignment. We remove old lock bodies, prepare or modify door mortises as needed, install new mortise lock assemblies, align all components for smooth operation, and test thoroughly before completion. Proper installation ensures the lock engages correctly, operates smoothly, and provides maximum security.
We work with all major mortise lock manufacturers including Schlage, Corbin Russwin, Sargent, Yale, and Mul-T-Lock, ensuring you get the right lock for your application.
