Mortice Escape Locks

Given that mortice locks come in so many forms, it can be difficult to differentiate between standard mortice locks and mortice escape locks. In practice, mortice escape locks operate in the same way as a sashlock, but they use a lever handle. Why is that useful? It means you don’t need a key to unlock the door from the inside, which is ideal when an emergency exit is necessary.

The interior handle ensures both bolts are withdrawn simultaneously for a smooth opening, while the exterior handle operates the latchbolt. Escape locks remain highly resistant to break-ins and physical damage, with anti-drill and anti-saw protections included.

Our escape locks cover every eventuality, from locksmiths looking for left-hand operated escape locks to those needing lockset or lock-only choices. From cost-effective options from Era to elite escape locks from Bramah that meet commercial standards, we have you covered. Many of our mortice escape locks come in various finishes, from standard brass to classy chrome and satin chrome, making it easy to find the style that suits your job.
