Product Details

LD-181 Steel Chassis Mortise Lock Body Mechanism

LD-181 Steel Chassis Mortise Lock Body provides a heavy-duty steel chassis lock mechanism with brass latch bolt and deadbolt for residential and commercial wooden door installation and replacement.

The LD-181 Steel Chassis Mortise Lock Body is the internal locking mechanism that forms the security core of mortise door lock systems. Housed in a cold-rolled steel chassis for maximum strength and tamper resistance, the lock body contains both a spring-loaded latch bolt for convenient push-close operation and a deadbolt for keyed security engagement. The latch bolt is cast from solid brass for corrosion resistance and smooth engagement with the strike plate, while the deadbolt provides a 20mm steel throw that resists forced entry. A reversible latch design allows the lock to be used on both left-hand and right-hand doors without modification, simplifying inventory management for distributors and installers. The lock body accommodates three standard backset distances (60mm, 65mm, and 70mm) to fit international door thickness standards and frame configurations. The zinc alloy spindle hubs connect to lever handles or knob sets on both sides of the door, while hardened steel anti-saw pins protect the deadbolt from cutting attacks. The internal spring mechanism uses high-carbon steel springs rated for over 200,000 cycles of reliable operation. A full-face strike plate with reinforced box provides secure engagement point in the door frame. Packaged in blue cardboard boxes or blister packs with all necessary mounting screws and strike plate. Whether installing mortise locks in new construction wooden doors, replacing worn lock bodies in residential entry doors, outfitting commercial building doors, or specifying hotel room lock mechanisms, the LD-181 mortise lock body provides reliable security performance.

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.
