How does a magnetic lock stay silent?

The latch stays inside the body until the door closes and never rubs the keep; a magnet in the keep draws it across at the last moment, so there is no rubbing or impact.

Does a silent lock reduce security?

No. The locking mechanism is the same as a standard mortise lock; only the way the latch works is different.

Where are they preferred?

On interior doors where quiet matters: bedrooms, hotels, hospitals and offices.

Is the handle set separate?

Yes. As with any mortise lock, the handle set is a separate product and must match the lock's function.

Magnetic and latch-locking series

In a classic lock the sprung latch strikes the keep and makes the familiar click. In a magnetic silent lock the latch stays inside the body until the door is closed; a magnet in the keep pulls it across at the last moment, so there is neither rubbing nor impact.

Latch-locking series lock the latch itself and need no separate deadbolt. In both series the handle set and function — passage or bathroom-WC — are chosen exactly as for a standard mortise lock.
