FAQ
What is the difference between a mortise lock body and a tubular latch?
Mortise lock bodies install into a rectangular cavity (mortise) cut into the door edge, providing both latch and deadbolt functions in one unit. Tubular latches install through a round bore hole in the door face and typically only provide latch function without deadbolt security.
How do I know which backset to select?
The backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the handle spindle hole. Measure this distance on your existing door. 60mm is common in Europe and Asia, 70mm is common in North America. The LD-181 accommodates all three common sizes for universal compatibility.
Can I use this lock body with any lever handle?
The LD-181 uses standard 8mm spindle hubs that fit the vast majority of lever handles and knob sets on the market. Verify your handle spindle diameter matches 8mm before ordering.
What is the expected service life of this lock body?
The high-carbon steel spring mechanism is rated for over 200,000 cycles, equivalent to approximately 50 years of typical residential use (10 cycles per day). Commercial high-traffic installations may require more frequent replacement.
