If you’re slapping in a door lock that’s meant to take daily knocks and still keep out unwanted guests, the makes sense — especially on budget-conscious jobs. I mean, this isn’t some flimsy throw‑away part — it’s built around a tried‑and‑true 6‑lever mortise mechanism that’s been a staple on Indian doors for decades.

You’ll quickly notice the satin steel finish doesn’t just look decent — it handles scrapes, fingerprints and grime better than cheap painted locks. The satin surface hangs onto its look without being fussy about upkeep, and that matters a lot on a busy site where scratches and smudges are part of daily life.

Key Features:

• 6‑Lever Mortise Mechanism - Classic deadbolt security that’s still tougher than the basic 2‑ or 3‑lever sets most folks install.
• Reversible Latchbolt - Works on left or right swing doors without fuss, so you don’t waste time swapping parts.
• Satin Steel Finish - Less prone to showing wear and tear — you’ll appreciate that after weeks on a job site.
• Deadbolt & Latch Combo - Gives you that solid deadlock feel with the convenience of a latch for everyday use.
• Standard Backset - Fits most timber doors with zero guesswork, so retrofit installs go quicker.

Applications

Why Choose This Model

It’s simple, it’s reliable, and there’s a reason tradespeople keep coming back to 6‑lever mortise locks for everyday installs.
