ABLOY/FAB 2014 Mortise Lock 72/45 Universal Handed Finnish Lacquered Finish

Product Overview

The ABLOY/FAB 2014 mortise lock 72/45 KL/WC Finnish lacquered finish is designed for internal doors made of wood, MDF, or steel in residential and light commercial settings. Manufactured from zinc-coated steel with a lacquered surface, this lock is suitable for standard interior door thickness and does not include a strike plate in the base unit. It is commonly used in environments requiring both privacy (bathroom doors) and secure closure (internal doors with feather key access).

A standout feature of this model is its universal handedness, allowing users to change the latch orientation simply by removing and rotating the latch mechanism. This reduces inventory complexity and installation errors for procurement managers and installers handling projects with doors opening in both directions. Particularly well-suited for bulk procurement in multi-dwelling residential developments and hotel refurbishment projects where various door handing requirements must be accommodated.
