Non Locking Mortice Hookbolt

The Willenhall 3000 series mortice hook latch is used on sliding doors. This version does not feature a locking snib, but is supplied with a pair of handles. Formerly branded as Century.

These latches are unique and easily identifiable by their flush fit handles. The handles are recessed to allow the door to sliding without the handle fouling the pocket or recess. This version cannot be locked, but another version with a snib that prevents the handle from being moved is available.

In line with a number of other mortice locks, these locks feature a grey lock case but they have unique measurements that identify them from other mortice locks. Please refer to the line drawing for details.

This mortice lock is available in satin chrome finish only.

This latch features a hook, rather than an deadbolt as its used on sliding doors.

These latches feature a hookbolt. This operates in a similar way to a deadbolt, but once thrown, the hookbolt hooks on to the strike. This prevents the door from being slid open.

The hook throws automatically and can be retracted by the lever handle from either side.

The hookbolt cannot be locked and unlocked from either side.

This lock is supplied with a striking plate in a finish which matches the lock. It also comes with a pair of handles which are recessed.

Suitable for use on most internal, sliding, wooden doors. These locks are not handed.

No keys are required for this latch.

These locks are not suitable for use on fire doors.

Willenhall locks is one of the most well established mortice lock brands in the UK. They make some unique locks that you won’t find anywhere else.

A regular latch and deadbolt isn’t much use on a sliding door as they will simply slide out of the strike. Sliding door locks feature an expanding claw or hook to lock on to the strike, to prevent the door from being opened once engaged. They are locked from both the inside and outside with the key which throws the deadbolt. Mortice lever locks (sometimes called mortise locks) are commonly fitted to wooden doors but can also be found used in steel, aluminium, and composite doors. They are locked from both the inside and outside with the key which throws the deadbolt. By definition, a mortice lock is fitted (“morticed”) within the door, rather than being fitted to the face or surface of it.
