A "lock" refers to a mechanical device that is used to secure a door, gate, or other entry point. It typically consists of a bolt or latch that can be engaged or disengaged by a key, knob, or thumb turn. A "mortice lock" specifically refers to a type of lock that is installed within a recess (known as a mortice) in the surface of a door or other piece of furniture. This type of lock is commonly used for its higher level of security compared to surface-mounted locks, as the mortice provides additional protection against tampering. A "3 lever" lock refers to a specific classification of mortice lock based on its internal mechanism. In this case, the lock contains three levers that align with corresponding slots within the lock case. The key used to operate the lock has unique grooves that, when inserted, lift the levers to specific heights, allowing the bolt or latch to be unlocked or locked. These types of locks are commonly found in residential and commercial buildings, providing a level of security and control over entry points.
