My old mortise lock on a beautiful 5 panel door I just bought and installed wasn't working with the key although it latched. Too much trouble trying to fix it so I bought this one. It fit quite well in the old mortise cutout, although I did have to grind off some metal top and bottom for a perfect fit. The spindle lined up as did the keyhole with my existing faceplate. It works great and locks great. Just a little chiseling on the door frame made it happen. And yes, it is reversible. I followed the video instructions. A piece of cake!. Some yokel here claims it can't work reversed. Obviously an incompetent mechanic. Now we know that it's easier to replace than to try to clean and fix the old lock.

Specs are exactly as listed. Dropped in perfectly to my old mortise slot. It did not work with the original catch, but 2 minutes with a chisel and it was in place and the door closed perfectly. It was easy to flip the latch and for the price this is a very high quality product. I bought 4 more for the rest of the house!

This mortise lock arrived yesterday and it is already in the door! I bought a wooden door for my 1922 bungalow, and I had to get it from one of those salvage/antique shops because back then unlike today, they made doors out of actual wood. I so lucked out when it already had the cut out done for the mortise lock. The only thing is, I had to find the right lock to fit and had no idea there was such variation amongst them. This lock was a gem. I only had to use the chisel slightly as the face plate was slightly taller. But otherwise it just slid right in and I attached the screws. I still have to attach the strikeplate, as the old mortise lock's strike plate was slightly lower. Every door in my house has the same style locks, strike plates, door knobs and face plates, so I was a little surprised the existing one did not fit. I figure if I managed to get the door hung (having to switch the hinges from right to left facing) I can handle re-doing the strike plate insert. The lock seems well made (it is only $14!) and the keys work well. Alas, they did NOT work in any of my other doors, so the keys must be specific to each lock. The only complaint I have is that they do not offer these in different colors. I really needed a bronze so I am going to have to paint the shiny gold (oh well). But the door worked well with the turn rod that went with the lock I accident threw out ten years ago (gnash of teeth). It was a real antique. I can't find anything wrong. The lock is in an interior door, so i do not expect it to endure any undo strain and should last a very long time. I will upload photos when I get the strike plate in.
