The Mortice Deadlatch for AS2000/2100 is a dedicated replacement component designed to maintain the security and functionality of existing door hardware systems. Specifically engineered for compatibility with AS2000 and AS2100 series mortice locks, this deadlatch provides a reliable secondary locking action that automatically engages when the door is shut.

This mechanism is essential for preventing unauthorised retraction of the latch through external manipulation, such as shimming. It is typically used in environments where security is a priority but frequent access is required, such as commercial offices, public buildings, or residential main entrances. By replacing only the deadlatch component, users can restore the full security rating of their locking system without the need for a complete lockset replacement.

The unit features a reversible bolt design, making it versatile for both left and right-hand opening doors. It is designed to fit standard mortice preparations and is compatible with various door materials including timber and metal, provided the corresponding lock body is present.
