The half mortise design, where the lock body is partially set into the wood, provides a more refined appearance than a fully surface-mounted lock while requiring less routing depth than a full mortise lock. They remain the preferred choice for authentic period restoration work.Shop Related Hardware Trunk Locks and Drawbolts — all locking hardware for trunks and chests Antique Trunk and Steamer Trunk Hardware — full trunk hardware catalog Show more
