What is a 5 Lever Sashlock Mortice Lock ? 🔍

A 5 Lever Sashlock Mortice Lock is a lock fitted inside your door that controls both the latch and deadbolt functions. The five-lever mechanism significantly increases resistance to picking, drilling, and forced entry attempts. Unlike simple locks, the 5 lever construction offers enhanced locking complexity, making it one of the preferred choices for securing timber and composite doors. The sashlock design means you can operate the latch with a lever handle, while the deadbolt ensures the door can be locked securely using a key from either side. 🔑
