Prime-Line E 2330 Mortise Keyed Lock Set, Satin Nickel Knob | Fits 1-3/8 In.-1-3/4 In. Interior Doors, Replaces Broken Antique Lock Sets, Single Pack, Satin Nickel Finish

I have lots of old doors. And one of the doors, the spring broke. and is gummy. the new springs, do not fit perfect, and put a bit too much tension, and the internals are gummy (it's 120 years old), but was not a name brand. So, old, but cheap the day it was bought. Oh, the irony, it's 120 years old now (so, clearly it is better then most things made today). But, it needs work (break cleaner, and a little filing off of a cast defect), and I dont have the time or desire to spend 2 hours fixing it. this worked great, and was a near perfect fit, only took a chisel to nip out a 1/16 to fit perfect. Looks great. the doorknobs work great, with the spindle, I've actually never seen one that spins on, all of mine are unthreaded.

I am super excited to see a replacement mortise lock that is clean and simple. We like the locks we have but a few are broken and I wanted to test this out as a replacement. Great product. Got my door exactly with one slight adjustment. I had to unscrew the locking mechanism and flip the because of the way the door swings. I was able to take it apart and figure it out. There is a diagram of the inside which is helpful, but it would also be helpful to include a step by step on flipping the lock. This is a really small detail. Under 50.00 for a mortise replacement that comes with everything you need including screws and a drill guide is a great deal. Also loved the silver clean style. This product is a big 10 for me.

I purchased three silver and a few brushed bronze sets. I have an old house so I needed them; don’t make doors in the same size anymore and these lock/handle sets are not found as readily as your typical handles. The installation was simpler for these than some we’ve tried, but most locks like this can be a difficult install. The look is amazing! Both versions look so nice on the doors. And the best part, they work. Had these a year or two now and most still work perfectly. But two stick now, although correctable w adjustments. I am lucky to have two entries in the room where one of the stickers are…so I can walk around but I imagine it’d be scary if I didn’t have a second opening to get out. This has more to due with the type of handle set versus the product itself. These are a must for me, but they work reasonably well and look absolutely fabulous. I would recommend

Solved my 100 year old door lock issue. Just a chisel to adapt a bit, worked very well. Pleased with this purchase!

Exactly what I ordered. Much cheaper price that in store and more selections on here. While renovating a home I wanted to keep the older cottage charm so I ordered these to replace the old rusted ones. This was perfect. Fit perfectly in the same place as the old one and the keys worked propery as well. On left/right door, I did end up having to change the direction of the lock but it was an easy fix. There was no directions on how to do that but i easily figured it out.

I updated over 20 doors with these in my house, as I have a house that’s over 100 years old and I didn’t want to replace all the doors. With some slight modifications, these all slid in to the previous mortise cut outs. The quality is fair, the entire mechanism is metal so that’s nice but I feel like they really lacking the actual handle part, they cheap out and made it really hollow so they feel cheap. Some more fill inside of the handle or even a thicker gauge of metal would make it feel a lot better. The biggest complaint I would probably have him why I’m giving it three stars instead of five is because the little screw that holds the handle on constantly comes undone. It doesn’t matter how tight you put it on in like a month you’ll have to re-tighten it. Every door in the house that’s commonly used. I basically need to go through every like two months or so and make sure they’re all tight if they’re not the handle will get so loose that when you turn it to open the door or eventually just twist and fall off.

I bought a couple of these to try and see if I liked them before I did them throughout my entire house. They seemed great for the money and looked very nice. They are as easy to install as your doors and door frames let them be. I have quite a bit of experience in wood chiseling and fine wood working so they only took about 30-45 minutes per door chiseling out the mortises where needed and lock plate surfaces and strike plate to fit snugly. I ended up doing them for all of the interior doors and they all work great. They are easily reversible for r/h or l/h doors. For the money I was very surprised and satisfied with these.

I ordered 18 of these in Oct 2016 for a renovation on our 1912 Craftsman, satin-nickel finish with locks. After reading some of the other reviews and being a bit concerned, we purchased one of these and showed it to a locksmith who does a lot of work in our old neighborhood before deciding to order the rest and do it ourselves, and he said they looked like a duplicate of an old Corbin mortise lock design. His bottom price for the lock alone was at least twice what these cost, and labor on top of that, so we decided to give these a shot. Quality - - The door plates ARE thinner than an original lock from the period. However they're not tin foil and once they were mounted on the door they were solid and I really could not tell they were any thinner than the originals. Just waaayyy shinier, of course! - Since other reviews mentioned issues with the lock mechanism getting stuck, I exercised the lock about 20 times and opened up each one to inspect before setting them in the door. I found 1 that would not work and discovered the lock sliding mechanism was not sitting correctly in the internal track. After setting it in the right position, I haven't had any issues since. The internals are pretty simple so it's not too intimidating to open up the lock. Installation - it's a mortise lock so yes it's way harder than a modern style to carve out the pocket for the lock. But if you've got a house this old then that's the correct style, and if you've got a lot to install there are mortise jigs you can buy to make life easier. We were also able to obtain a number of original doors from the period, and these locks were a direct fit for those that already had the mortise for the lock mechanism, which made installing a lot of them fairly easy. Other issues - I've had the set screw for the door handles loosen up a couple of times and need to be retightened. The bar the handle connects to is threaded so the handle loosened up but stayed on the bar just fine until I retightened the set screw. I also put a little Loctite on the set screw and no more problems after that. Overall I'm happy with these locks. Best part is the solid clunk sound the internal spring makes with the old solid core doors when you close them, you just don't get that with newer lock designs! Update Nov 3, 2022 - I have to lower my rating on these locks. About a year ago, one of these broke such that the latch would not retract. My kids had been fighting over the door so I figured maybe it was a fluke. But then a couple days ago the same thing happened randomly to another door. In both cases one of my kids was trapped in the room until I could get inside the room via a window and take the door off the hinges. The lock broke in the same place both times - see the circled tab in the picture. It is a tiny tab of metal that links the door knob to the door latch. But in both cases that tab fatigued and straightened out. This is a serious safety issue with the design causing someone to be trapped in the room. I believe it's just a matter of time that more of these will fatigue so I am now in the process of searching for a more reliable replacement design. PLEASE BEWARE!

Es de buen material y buena calidad y funciona muy bien y buen precio y fácil de instalar,me gustó mucho.

When utilising the instructions to reverse the handing of the door it doesn't work. After multiple tries to understand the limited information given I have discovered that reversing the handing results in a lock mechanism so poorly aligned internally as to render it non-functional

Las compre para unas puertas antiguas de cedro, pero como son labradas el mecanismo de las chapas queda muy grande para el hueco que ya tenían, se pudieron adaptar las placas y el picaporte al mecanismo anterior, pero no era lo que esperaba. Mucha atención en las medidas que marca el diagrama sobre todo la distancia de la placa al filo de la puerta es más de lo normal.

Buena presentación del producto, Bonita cerradura para interiores, se observa que durará algún tiempo.

Es una chapa simple que no permite que se pueda cambiar de lado el pestillo . Falta que indiquen esa información el vendedor y que solo sirve para u tipo de abatimiento de puertas por lo que la lkmita mucho en mi caso no me sirvió
