Prime Line Products E 2468 Mortise Latch Security Plate 6pk

Product Description

The PRIME LINE PRODUCTS E 2468 is a mortise latch assembly that includes a security adaptor plate, providing a reliable latching solution for doors requiring a standard mortise-style mechanism. Mortise latches fit into a recessed pocket cut into the door edge, offering a flush, secure fit that outperforms surface-mounted hardware in high-cycle residential and light commercial applications. The E 2468 ships with a security adaptor plate that broadens compatibility across door preparations and adds reinforcement at the latch face. Each carton contains 6 units, making this an efficient option for contractors stocking hardware on multi-unit or multi-door jobs.

The E 2468 is suited for residential entry doors, interior passage doors, and light commercial door applications where a mortise latch profile is specified. Carpenters, door hardware installers, and general contractors typically install this component during rough-in or finish carpentry phases. The included security adaptor plate accommodates door preparations that require additional face coverage, reducing the need for separate trip to the supplier for supplementary hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed carpenter or door hardware technician using standard chisels, a drill, and a mortise jig. Verify the door-edge pocket dimensions match the latch body before seating the component. Remove all door hardware and ensure the door is secure in a work stand or properly braced before mortising. Follow applicable local building codes for door hardware installation on egress and entry doors.
