Replacement Mortise Lock - HELP!!

ruscopico · 28 Jan 2008

Hi All,

I live in an old Victorian house and a couple of the mortise locks need replacing, I have looked on websites including ebay but can't seem to find anything like the one I already have.

As I said I have hunted high and low so any advice would be great

here is the lock and its dimensions

thanks in advance

it is called a horizontal sash-lock

there are still some made. most are poor quality.

AFAIK Union still make them, as a 3-lever, and i think Imperial do, or did.
Chubb make an extremely expensive one suitable for a front door.

you may need to enlarge the mortice a little to make a new one fit.

you should find an old one at an architectural salvage dealer or someone who deals in stuff from demolitions.

the union 2077 range is a close fit,some adjustment of handle/keyhole is almost inevitable.an alternative is to remove the ones you have,take them to a locksmith who can make keys and replace worn springs if thats of any use

I think there is a mistake in your measurements

110 handle backset
215 case depth

don't look in proportion.
