Mortise Lockset Defined

The mortise lock set has handle & lock set, all along with external trim of the mortise lockset is not just trim, however hides rather large hole, which is made to fit mortise lockset in a door. In UK and many other countries, mortise lock is the lever & tumbler style of the lock, much like the original design. However, here in US, most of the Mortise Lockset, which is sold, has the cylindrical locking mechanisms, since they normally are considered being safer. Homeowner will not install the mortise locks, since they need large rectangular hole to get cut in a door.
