ASEC Vital Mortice Deadlock Case for Euro Cylinders

There's a reason so many locksmiths, builders, and security-conscious homeowners prefer euro cylinder deadlock cases over traditional lever locks — and it comes down to one word: flexibility. With a euro cylinder deadlock case, you choose the security level by choosing your cylinder. Pair it with a basic entry-level cylinder for a low-risk internal door, or pair it with a high-security, anti-snap, anti-bump TS007 3-star cylinder for a front door that genuinely resists attack. Same case, same installation — the cylinder does the security heavy lifting.

The ASEC Vital Mortice Deadlock Case is built around that principle. It's a well-made, Certifire-approved euro deadlock case that accepts any standard euro profile cylinder, giving you the freedom to spec the cylinder that's right for the door and the budget. The case itself is sold without a cylinder — which is exactly how it should be for a product designed to give you that choice.

Underneath the flexibility, the fundamentals are solid. The deadbolt is solid brass with hardened steel rollers built in to resist saw attacks — the kind of physical security that matters when a determined intruder goes to work on a door. The case is fully reversible, which means the same lock fits left and right-hand doors without fuss, and it's prepared for bolt-through escutcheons at 25mm to 40mm centres, accommodating a wide range of door furniture.

A steel boxed strike plate and all fixing screws come in the box — everything you need for a clean, professional installation aside from the cylinder itself. The faceplate runs to 125mm in length at 25mm width, giving a neat, proportionate finish on the door edge, and the case height sits at 80mm.

Two case sizes cover the most common door preparations: 64mm with a 45mm backset, and 75mm with a 57mm backset. Both are available in Nickel Plated and Polished Brass finishes. The lock conforms to BS EN 12209 and carries Certifire approval, so it's suitable for use on fire doors when paired with appropriate hardware. Backed by a 1-year guarantee.

Whether you're a locksmith speccing a job where the cylinder is already decided, a property manager running a master key scheme across multiple doors, or simply someone who wants the security level of their door to be upgradeable without replacing the whole lock — the ASEC Vital Euro Deadlock Case is a practical, reliable foundation to build on.
