To remove a mortise lock, first remove the door handles, trim, and any key cylinder if installed. Next, unscrew the faceplate on the door edge and carefully slide the mortise lock body out. A dedicated mortise wrench, such as the Gator Mortise Wrench, makes cylinder removal easier and helps prevent damage.
