It's often fiddly, time-consuming, and frankly, a bit of a headache. Traditional mortise lock installation, especially, demands skilled craftsmanship. You gotta chisel out that perfect mortise, get the lock body seated just right, and then painstakingly align everything so the latch and strike plate work smoothly. One wrong move, and you’re looking at a door that doesn't close properly, or worse, compromised security. That’s where AR Painting LLC’s mechanical mortise solutions come in. We’ve taken a really close look at what makes mortise lock installation difficult, and we've designed a product that drastically simplifies the process, while maintaining the superior strength and security that mortise locks are known for. What is a Mechanical Mortise, anyway? For those not in the construction biz, a mechanical mortise is basically a pre-assembled lock body designed to slot directly into a pre-cut mortise pocket in a door. Sounds simple enough, right? The problem traditionally has been getting that mortise pocket just right. Historically, that meant a lot of skilled labor and precise measurements. Our solution isn't about replacing the mortise pocket entirely, it's about making the installation into that pocket way easier and more reliable. We've engineered a system that allows for a significant degree of adjustment within the mortise, compensating for slight variations in door thickness, frame alignment, and the mortise pocket itself. How Does It Work? The AR Painting LLC Difference Think of it like this: we've built a smart, adjustable 'core' for your mortise lock. This core incorporates several key features: Adjustable Faceplate: Our faceplate isn’t fixed. It slides and pivots slightly, allowing it to accommodate minor imperfections in the door’s surface. This means you don't have to obsess over perfect flush-mounting. Self-Aligning Latch Bolt: The latch bolt is designed with a unique mechanism that automatically centers itself with the strike plate. This dramatically reduces the need for fine-tuning and ensures a smooth, reliable closing action. Integrated Shims: We’ve included a set of pre-sized shims that can be easily added or removed to adjust for door thickness variations. No more messy, homemade shims! Robust Construction: We don't skimp on materials. Our mechanical mortise components are made from heavy-duty steel for maximum durability and resistance to forced entry. This isn’t some flimsy, lightweight import; this is built to last. Universal Handing: Forget about worrying if you’ve ordered the right handed lock! Our mechanical mortise is completely reversible, making it suitable for both left and right-handed doors. Who Benefits from This? Honestly, pretty much anyone installing a mortise lock. But here’s a breakdown: Professional Contractors: This will save you time and money on every job. Less time spent wrestling with finicky hardware means you can take on more projects. And fewer callbacks to fix installation issues mean happier clients. DIY Enthusiasts: If you’re comfortable tackling home renovation projects, but you’re intimidated by mortise lock installation, this is a game-changer. You can achieve a professional-quality result without years of experience. Property Managers: Maintaining a large number of properties can be a logistical nightmare. This simplifies hardware replacement and reduces maintenance costs. Historical Renovations: Preserving the character of older buildings often requires the use of mortise locks. Our mechanical mortise makes it easier to install these locks without damaging delicate door frames.
