Mortise handles are a type of door handle that is installed into a rectangular pocket or cavity, known as a “mortise,” that is cut into the edge of a door. These handles are typically made of metal or brass and are available in a variety of styles, including traditional, modern, and ornate designs.

To install a mortise handle, the mortise pocket must be cut into the door edge, and the handle mechanism is then inserted into the pocket. The handle is secured to the door with screws that pass through the faceplate of the handle and into the door.

Mortise handles are often used on interior doors, such as bedroom and bathroom doors, but can also be used on exterior doors. They provide a classic and elegant look and are often used in historic or traditional homes. They can be used on both right and left-handed doors, and some models also feature a locking mechanism for added security.

When choosing a mortise handle, it’s important to consider the size and style of the handle, as well as the finish, to ensure it matches the overall aesthetic of the room and complements other hardware and decor.
