Picture request - Ingersoll London Line mortice lock SC110

Postby workstation » Tue May 05, 2009 7:39 pm

Does anyone have any pictures of an Ingersoll London Line mortice lock? The product code is SC110.

I can't find anything good on Google Images.

I'm trying to understand how the escutcheons work. The only picture I've seen of the lock not fitted to a door only shows one of them and I can't work out if it's for the interior or exterior.

The other thing I'd like to know is whether the image that is on most of the lock shop sites is of the interior tor exterior of the door. If it's interior, I'm impressed with how they've managed to cover (I assume) the fixing screws. If it's the exterior, the cylinder seems very vulnerable to destructive attack.

Any help much appreciated.

So, wait, on that picture, am I looking at the inside or the outside of the door?

And whichever side it is, is there a picture anywhere of the other side?

Thanks.

The picture shows the outside. The inside will be the same expect it will have the fixing screws. The escutcheons bolt together through the door and in doing so strengthen the door and protect the lock and cylinder.

The escutcheons fit just like every other deadlock guard on the market, and the same way UPVC handles fit - bolt through from the inside, with no accessable fixings on the outside.

The image linked to by mush shows the exterior, the interior looks the same, but with a couple of countersunk screws visible.

The escutcheons do nothing to guard against drilling or pulling the core, but these defenses are built into the cylinder - which is a rebadged MTL interactive with a slightly different keyway so you can't use standard MTL blanks. They do protect against snap attacks to some extent, though not as well as they could, and they don't seem to include any scope for different thickness doors without having to mount the cylinder recessed or protruding.

Thanks guys.

I thought that the picture was of the inside and that the inside escutcheon was in two pieces, one sliding over the other, covering the screws. I couldn't believe they would make such an expensive lock and not cover the cylinder on the outside. Then again, the Chubb Viper doesn't seem to either.

Never mind.
