Multipoint mortise locks, also known as security locks, are locks with a high level of security that are easy to use: with one turn of the key and with a single key, 3 or 5 security points are locked.
A multipoint mortise lock (also called a mortise or recessed lock) constitutes an ideal front door lock. These locks are particularly ideal for equipping apartment entrance doors or any interior door requiring enhanced security (such as a wine cellar lock, for example). Most multipoint locks are rigorously tested to measure their resistance to opening methods. They are classified according to the A2P standard (recognized by insurers) based on their resistance time to break-ins.
They are suitable for wooden or metal doors.
Mortise locks usually have the advantage of being reversible: meaning that the latch bolt (the bolt operated with the handle) can be changed to become a right-hand or left-hand lock depending on your door's configuration. These locks are embedded in the thickness of the door, making them invisible and allowing you to preserve the aesthetics of your door. They also offer you great freedom in decoration: you can choose handles and plates in the style you desire.
However, installing a mortise lock can be challenging for a non-expert.
Multipoint mortise locks can come in various configurations. The faceplate (the metal part embedded in the door surrounding the bolt) can be continuous, meaning it runs the length of the door with the locking mechanism internal. But there can also be multipoint mortise locks with embedded rods (usually driven into the top and bottom of the door) and a small faceplate.
So, the choice of your multipoint mortise lock will depend on your door and what is already in place.
If your door is not designed for mortise locks and you do not want to undertake work or call a professional, note that you can enhance your door's security by installing surface-mounted multipoint locks!
One last locksmith tip:
You want to reinforce the security of your interior, and you are right. However, always keep in mind that optimal protection is consistent protection: the resistance of the door itself, the resistance of the door frame, and especially the security level of the cylinder are just as important as the number and strength of the locks.
Happy DIYing on ManoMano!
