ANSI Grade 1 certified mortise locks meeting BHMA/ANSI standards for durability, fire safety, and forced-entry resistance.
ANSI Mortise Locks: Security & Durability Redefined
ANSI mortise locks are robust locking mechanisms engineered for enhanced security in high-traffic environments. Designed to fit into a pocket within the door, these locks provide superior strength and resistance to forced entry. Ideal for commercial and institutional applications, they ensure fire safety and code compliance while delivering long-lasting performance.
Applications:
Commonly used in offices, hospitals, schools, hotels, and other commercial spaces, ANSI mortise locks offer a perfect blend of security and durability.
ANSI Lock Grades: Choosing the Right Security Level
Learn the distinctions between Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 locks for various security needs. ANSI mortise locks are classified into three grades based on durability and usage.
ANSI Grade 1
Designed for over 1 million cycles, providing the highest security for high-traffic areas like hospitals and airports. Grade 1 offers the best forced-entry resistance, making it the preferred choice for critical commercial applications.
ANSI Grade 2
Tested for 500,000 cycles, ideal for offices and schools with moderate traffic.
ANSI Grade 3
Rated for 200,000 cycles, suitable for light commercial and residential use.

Everything You Need to Know About ANSI Mortise Locks
Find answers to the most common questions about ANSI mortise locks.
Q1. What is the difference between an ANSI mortise lock and a cylindrical lock?
ANSI mortise locks and cylindrical locks differ in both structure and application. Mortise locks are installed within a pocket, or "mortise," cut into the door itself, making them highly secure and durable. Mortise designs also allow integration with panic hardware and access control systems, making them the professional choice for hospitals, schools, and fire-rated applications. In contrast, cylindrical locks are surface-mounted through a hole bored in the door, which makes them easier to install but generally less robust. While cylindrical locks are more common in residential applications, mortise locks are preferred for high-traffic areas due to their superior durability and security.
Q2. Can I customize the lock design for specific projects?
Absolutely! Camax Hardware provides OEM and ODM services, enabling customization of ANSI mortise locks to meet specific project requirements. Whether you need custom finishes, unique handle designs, or modifications to fit non-standard door preparations, Camax can deliver tailored solutions. Our advanced manufacturing capabilities allow for precise adjustments, ensuring that each lock is crafted to your exact specifications. This flexibility is ideal for large-scale commercial projects, specialized institutional applications, and architectural designs where standard options may not be sufficient. Contact Camax today to create locks that match your vision.
Q3. Are Camax Hardware's ANSI mortise locks fire-rated?
Yes, Camax ANSI mortise locks are designed to meet stringent fire safety standards, ensuring reliable performance during emergencies. For example, CML800 Series are UL 10C certified for up to 3-hour fire-ratings. In the event of a fire, Camax mortise locks provide secure closure, preventing the spread of smoke and flames while maintaining egress routes for safe evacuation. Their fire-rated certification makes them suitable for use in hospitals, schools, commercial buildings, and any facility requiring strict adherence to safety codes.
Q4. What certifications do Camax mortise locks have?
Camax ANSI mortise locks are certified to meet global safety and quality standards, including UL, and ANSI certifications. The UL certification guarantees that the locks meet rigorous fire safety and mechanical durability requirements, making them suitable for fire-rated doors, while ANSI certification affirms adherence to American standards for strength and security. These certifications are a testament to Camax's commitment to quality, reliability, and international compliance, making our mortise locks trusted worldwide.
