Defender Security® E 2293 Keyed Mortise Entry Lock Set, Steel, Brass-Plated

This vintage-style mortise lock set is constructed of case hardened steel and comes in a brass-plated finish. This lock set is designed for indoor use only and it can be installed on both 1-3/8 in and 1-3/4 in thick doors. The lock bolt is key activated from both the inside and outside of door and the latch bolt is reversible for use on both left hand and right hand swinging doors. This classic-style mortise lock set features a 2-3/8 in backset, antique skeleton (bit) keys and large 7 in tall escutcheon plates. Knob and lock sets like these are used by many for matching or replacing vintage-type hardware and they're simple to install. Spare keys are available through special order. Note: this item cannot be installed on pre-bored doors that have large, newer-style door knob holes without first prepping them to receive this hardware. Installation will require a 5/8 in W x 4 in H x 3-1/8 in D pocket to be mortised into the door's edge.
