What’s the Difference Between Mortise Lock and Cylindrical Lock?

Many homes and business premises opt for either mortise or cylindrical locks, prized for their dependability and adaptability. Although both aim to secure properties effectively, they vary significantly in their design, installation process, and usage.

In this article, we offer a detailed comparison between mortise locks and cylindrical locks, along with professional advice to help you select the ideal lock to meet your specific requirements.

Installation Challenges

Mortise locks demand a meticulous cut within the door, elevating the complexity of their installation. This setup necessitates additional steps to activate the lock or adjust its function. Also, the absence of a universal template across brands means each installation must adhere to the unique guidelines of the specific lock model.

Conversely, the installation of cylindrical locks is more straightforward due to their less demanding bore-hole specifications. They are designed to accommodate a standard door preparation, making them an attractive option for those looking to handle installation themselves.

Durability and Service Life

Mortise locks excel in durability, better suited to endure the rigors of heavy usage, making them preferable for entryways or commercial settings. Their robust construction ensures a longer service life.

Security Features

Mortise locks offer superior security, thanks to their design and additional features like built-in deadbolts. This complexity helps thwart unauthorized entry, positioning them as the go-to for secure locations.

While cylindrical locks vary in security capabilities, often requiring extra deadbolts for heightened security, they lack the inherent security prowess of mortise locks, particularly in settings vulnerable to security breaches.

Cost Implications

Mortise locks represent a higher initial investment due to their advanced security features and complex design, in contrast to the more economically priced cylindrical locks.

Upfront Expenses

The initial outlay for mortise locks is greater, factoring in both the cost of the lock and professional installation services. Cylindrical locks offer a more financially accessible option for those mindful of costs.

Installation Costs

The expertise and intricate work needed for mortise lock installations typically result in higher fees. In contrast, cylindrical locks are less costly to install, with the potential for self-installation offering additional savings.

Maintenance Over Time

Mortise locks are more cost-efficient in the long run, benefiting from their longevity and reduced need for upkeep. On the other hand, cylindrical locks may incur higher ongoing maintenance costs, affecting their long-term financial advantage.

Some around-the-house work I felt like rambling about:

Why do people paint over this kind of stuff??

For the past couple of years, we've been renting a house in the city we've grown up in, but with an unfortunately, absolutely outrageous, exponentially growing cost of living - but somehow lucking the FUCK out, paying 1/3 of the rent cost that this property would normally go for.

The owners live a state north of us in an extravaganly large house, and it's the lady's deceased mothers home we rent, so we're guessing they're nice and like us and are therefore keeping it at this affordable (and frankly more reasonable considering wages, false inflation etc.) price? Idk, I'm afraid to question it...

Between the LOW ASS PRICE, knowing I won't be able to afford anywhere else, and since I have a drastic fear of eviction after being kicked out from my home with a 3 week notice before Xmas with my 3 year old because they decided on a whim to sell the property (and a whole lot of drama with that), I am always anxious to reach out to landlords with "issues".

Hence, I'm frequently fixing the toilet and sinks, etc. myself!

Well, my kid (who's about to turn 10 😭) has been having more and more trouble with his door not closing, the handle not working and what have you - this issue was existing when we moved in, but has gotten worse to where he has to use a wedge under it and some other stupid shit just to have a modicum of privacy or to keep the cats out when he's not home.

Since the landlords haven't fixed it in the last couple years, I went ahead and went for it, teaching myself the inner workings of old mortise locks and door knobs!

Took everything out and apart, rebuilt the portion of the door frame that was too far damaged, reset the plates, sanded and repainted the edges to where the door fully fits in the frame again from the now-100-year-old house settling and summer swelling, and did my best to restore the handle pieces to what they may have looked like a few decades ago.

To supplement, as I didn't take a lot of pics being so engrossed in the project, this is what the inside of a mortise lock looks like!

I'm kind of kicking myself for not taking more pictures along the way, but since it wasn't just his door that was apathetically slathered with landlord-special, I took a picture of another in the house to compare for before and after:

Getting the screws loose to start this whole thing was INCREDIBLY frustrating, stripping the paint off wasn't too bad, buffing the brass to a shine took *forever.* The tools I had on hand did leave a lil more sanding lines on two of the pieces than I would've liked, but overall I really cannot be too displeased.

I still need to recut the hole for the lock, might try to find him a key to use with it, cause it's so fucking cool.

Either way, he was elated to have a functional door again, and even more overjoyed with how it looks.

Took two full days, but I'm incredibly happy to have figured it all out!
