Tubular vs. Mortise: Mortise
Pros: Very durable; locks have more features, and trim is easy to replace or upgrade because, unlike tubular locks, latch and lock fit in one hole.
Cons: Costs about 50 percent more than tubular; usually requires a locksmith to install. A special-order item; allow up to 10 days for delivery.
Shown: Soho trim in polished chrome; mortise, about $860 from Baldwin -
