Locksets

Cylindrical locksets are the most popular by far. We keep a full line of lever and knob locks in stock along with single cylinder (key outside, thumbturn inside) and double cylinder (key both sides) deadbolts. These locks take the standard 161 prep which is a 2 1/8" crossbore, 2 3/4" backset, and a 2 1/4" x 1 1/8" square corner door edge cut out. The standard strike plate with these locks is the 497 ANSI which is 4 7/8" long but we also have other sizes to meet your needs.

Mortise locks provide the highest level of security. The prep for this lock is an 8" x 1 1/4" edge cut out with holes drilled in the face of the door at locations depending on the different lock functions required. The lock body inserts into the edge prep so it is recessed into the door. The handles and cylinders (if required) are then installed through the door into the lock body.

We have hollow metal doors in stock already prepped for the cylindrical or mortise locks. We also have blank lock doors so we can prep them for different backsets or special locks. Our standard hollow metal frames are prepped for the 497 ANSI strike but we also have blank jambs so they can be prepped for special strikes.
