The EAI Bathroom Mortice Lock in Bronze is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade their internal door hardware with a secure, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing mechanism. It offers a premium feel through its high-quality spring mechanism and an adjustable keep that prevents annoying door rattles, though users should ensure their existing door thickness is sufficient to accommodate a mortice installation.

No, this lock is specifically designed for internal wooden bathroom doors and does not provide the security ratings required for exterior entrances.
Typically, you can pull the latch head out and rotate it 180 degrees, though specific instructions vary slightly by model; ensure it clicks firmly back into place.
No, this product is the mortice lock mechanism only. Handles must be purchased separately.
You will need a drill, drill bits, a hammer, and a sharp wood chisel to create the pocket in the door frame and edge.
The finish is high quality and designed for residential use, but it should be kept dry and cleaned with a soft cloth to maintain its luster.
Adjust the tab on the keep to increase tension against the latch when the door is closed.
Check that the door is correctly aligned and the mortice cavity is deep enough to prevent binding.
Verify that your handles are utilizing the bolt-through fixings that pass directly through the pre-pierced holes in the lock case.
Installation requires a mortice chisel and a drill to create the cavity in the wooden door edge. Ensure you measure the backset (distance from the door edge to the center of the handle spindle hole) correctly to match your door's existing geometry. Regarding compatibility, this lock is designed specifically for standard wooden internal doors. For maintenance, keep the moving parts lubricated with a light silicone-based spray once or twice a year. To clean the bronze finish, use only a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can strip the finish and accelerate corrosion.
