F05 vs F54 ANSI Mortice Locks – What’s the Difference and Which One Do You Need?
The difference between the McGrath F05 and F54 ANSI mortice locks is simple:
- F05 is a latch-only mortice lock with no deadbolt.
- F54 includes a mechanical deadbolt in addition to the latch.
If you are installing a smart lock or fitting hardware to a fire-rated door, the F05 is usually the safer and simpler choice. The F54 should only be used where a mechanical deadbolt is specifically required and compliance implications are understood.
