Brass Modern Mortise Privacy Set – Narrow Backset Solution
1-3/8" or 1-3/4" Backset | Built for Narrow Stiles

When working with narrow stile doors, it can be difficult to find a privacy set that fits properly and looks refined. This privacy set provides a customizable combination of modern Emtek trim, a durable stainless steel narrow backset mortise lock, privacy euro cylinder, and matching strikeplate. It’s a smart, attractive solution for bedrooms, bathrooms, and other doors requiring privacy.

• Perfect for spaces where locking from the inside is essential, keyed security is not needed, and the option to easily unlock from the outside in an emergency is desirable.

Backset Options

• 1-3/4" backset: requires 2.48" mortise depth

• Recommended for doors with a minimum stile width of 2-3/8".

Product Details

Built to Last, Even at the Shore
These mortise locks are salt-spray tested and built with stainless steel components, making them suitable for coastal environments and high-humidity interiors.

Planning Tips
Please review our diagrams to verify clearance from your door stop or astragal, and to determine correct handing and door swing. For privacy sets, the "exterior" refers to the hallway side of a room or the room side of an ensuite bathroom.
