ASSA ABLOY 2018 72/45 WB Mortise Lock Chromed Reversible Latch No Strike Plate

Product Overview

The Assa Abloy 2018 72/45 WB Mortise Lock (chromed) is designed for installation in interior wooden, MDF, and steel doors in residential and commercial environments. Manufactured from chromed steel, it accommodates standard euro-profile cylinders and is distinguished by its reversible latch feature for easy left or right handed door configuration. The lock does not have a key-retreat lever function, meaning the latch cannot be withdrawn using the key.

What sets this model apart is its universal reversible latch, allowing on-site adaptation to swinging direction without the need for special tools or additional products. This flexibility reduces complexity during procurement and installation, especially for projects where door handing may not be finalized at order time. This makes it well-suited for bulk supply to contractors or fit-out projects with variable door requirements.
