Collection: Swing Mortice (85 Series)

An 85 series swing mortice is a lock body designed for hinged (swinging) doors, defined by its standard 85mm centre-to-centre distance between the lever handle spindle and the euro profile cylinder.

Key features of an 85 series swing mortice lock include:

Latching Mechanism: Unlike the sliding version, this features a standard spring-loaded latch bolt (for day-to-day closing) and a rectangular deadbolt (for security).

85mm Pitch: The 85mm spacing is a specific industry standard (common in European and some Australian joinery), requiring compatible door furniture (handles) with matching 85mm spacing.

Narrow Stile Suitability: While available for timber doors, this series is particularly popular for aluminium and narrow-stile glass doors because it is often manufactured with narrow backsets (e.g., 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, or 35mm).

Reversible Latch: Most models allow the latch bolt to be reversed, making the lock suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.
