Drawer Hardware: Half-mortise locks

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Half-mortise locks such as this are typically found on pre-20th century cabinetry and drawers. Unfortunately, the original keys are often long gone by the 21st century.

This reproduction has a brass-plated lock with a steel box and comes with two steel keys. Choose right or left handed.

Half Mortise Locks (right or left) are $11 each (April 2006).

Dimensions: 2" and 3" wide.
