  • Modular locking device
    Patent number: 10415267
    Abstract: A mortise lockset adaptor that houses mortise locksets, which provides an alternative method to attaching mortise locksets onto doors with thickness that exceed the lockset's door thickness capacity. Without this invention it would be virtually impossible to install deadlock configured mortise locks to doors with thicknesses that exceed the maximum allowable door thicknesses specified by the lock manufacturers. The removable lock service assembly offers quick lock interchange to address service needs in extremely busy operational environments.
