Serrure à mortaiser (f)
A door lock with latch and deadbolt according to DIN 18 251 for installation in truncated, rebated or metal frame doors. Mortise locks are not visible when the door is closed and therefore cannot be manipulated from the inside. On the other hand, the door leaf is weakened by the recess required for the mortise lock.
