ABSTRACT:
A reversible mortise lockset for use with an ornamental metal security storm door furnished with a lock box, each of the two opposed vertical walls of the lock box having two vertically aligned holes of equal diameter. The lockset includes a mortise lock which can be inserted into the lock box in either of two alternative orientations, namely, the lock cylinder hole of the mortise lock in registry with the upper holes in the lock box or the lock cylinder hole of the mortise lock in registry with the lower holes in the lock box. In either orientation, the door knob spindle hole and a through bolt hole of the mortise lock are exposed through the lock box holes not in registry with the lock cylinder hole. A pair of plates are provided for mounting on the exterior surfaces of the lock box walls, each plate having a door knob and spindle near one end and a lock cylinder hole near the other end. One of the plates has a single mounting post projecting parallel to the door knob spindle. Regardless of which orientation the mortise lock assumes in the lock box, each plate can be mounted with its lock cylinder hole in registry with the lock cylinder hole in the mortise lock and its door know spindle and mounting post located in the door knob spindle hole and through bolt hole of the mortise lock.
