Mortise entry lockset for apartments

This Guard Security Metro mortise entry lockset fits left-hand doors in commercial and residential apartments. The 2-1/2 inch backset matches standard mortise preparations. A solid brass cylinder with satin chrome 26D finish and two keys is supplied. Through-bolted plate assemblies provide a secure mounting method.

Sustained operation with self-adjusting spindles

Self-adjusting spindles maintain alignment through repeated daily cycles without loosening. Screwless knobs eliminate exposed fasteners that can work free over time. Through-bolted plates distribute torque evenly across the door thickness. The solid brass cylinder resists wear in high-traffic entrances.

Left-hand configuration decides fit

The lockset is handed for left-hand doors only; right-hand installations require a different unit. A 1 inch deadbolt throw and 1-1/16 by 7-5/8 inch faceplate dimensions must match the existing mortise pocket. Keyed-different cylinders prevent master-key access unless rekeyed. Buyers needing right-hand handing or a different backset cannot use this model.

Questions about this item

Does the 1" deadbolt throw generate heat or noise during continuous daily operation?

No, the mechanical deadbolt and latch operate without motors or electronics, so they produce no heat and only the normal sound of the bolt engaging.

What door preparation is required before installing the 2-1/2" backset mortise lock?

You need a door thick enough for the 1-1/16" x 7-5/8" front faceplate and a mortise pocket cut to accept the lock body and through-bolted plates.

Will the left-hand cylinder and thumb-turn work with an existing right-hand door frame?

No, the lock is handed; a left-hand unit installs only on a left-hand door swing and cannot be reversed on site.
