ABLOY/FAB 2018 72/45 WB Mortise Lock Chromed Steel Reversible Latch Finnish Lacquer

Product Overview

The ABLOY/FAB 2018 72/45 WB is a mortise lock engineered for installation in interior doors made from wood, MDF, or steel. Its robust chromed steel construction, finished with a Finnish lacquer coating, is suitable for residential and commercial environments where moderate durability and reliable function are required. The lock supports use with a Euro-profile cylinder and is supplied without a strike plate, allowing flexible ordering according to project needs.

A distinguishing feature of this lock is its reversible latch, which allows quick change of handing without disassembling the entire mechanism. This reduces time and error risk for installers faced with a variety of left- and right-opening doors, streamlining logistics on-site. It is particularly suited for fit-out contractors, door manufacturers, and bulk procurement for office, hotel, or apartment developments where standardized locking hardware is specified.
