Buying Guide & Selection Tips

When choosing the PA030 Full Mortise Lock for your project, consider the following points:

1. Box Size & Security Requirements
   • For small jewelry or gift boxes, one PA030 is usually enough.
   • For larger cases or higher‑value contents (watches, cigars, collections), choose the keyed version or combine with additional hardware (hasps, hinges, corner protectors).
2. Material & Finish Coordination
   • Polished brass / gold pairs well with luxury wood species (walnut, rosewood, mahogany) and classic designs.
   • Nickel or chrome finishes match modern, minimalist, or bright box designs.
   • Antique brass / bronze is ideal for vintage, rustic, or retro‑style products.
   • Coordinate with hinges, handles, corner brackets, and feet for a unified visual effect.
3. Mortise Dimensions & Wood Thickness
   • Check lock body length, width, and depth relative to your box wall thickness.
   • Ensure enough material remains around the mortise for strength.
   • Use a CNC router, mortising machine, or accurate jigs for repeatable production.
4. Production Volume & Lead Time
   • For mass production, we can support fixed specifications, stable supply, and export packaging.
   • For small studios or custom brands, sample orders and lower MOQs help with prototyping and design validation.
