Adams Rite 4104-12 mounting brackets (sometimes called faceplate brackets or mortice lock bridges) are used to secure Adams Rite mortice locks inside aluminium or narrow stile doors. Since these locks are often installed in hollow metal or aluminium frames, mounting brackets are essential for a proper, secure fit.

What Do They Do?
Adams Rite mounting brackets:
Hold the Lock Body Firmly in Place:
The mortice cavity inside the door stile can be larger or uneven.
Mounting brackets provide a stable frame to hold the lock body securely inside that cavity.
Align the Lock Faceplate:
The brackets help position the lock correctly, ensuring that the faceplate sits flush with the edge of the door.
This is important for both aesthetics and functionality, like proper latch or deadbolt engagement.
Provide Fixing Points:
Two screws enable a secure fix into the back wall of the section with the lock case then mounting
directly onto the bridge.
