I've got a 1905 home and have been adding new mortise locksets on the new interior doors - I know the hunt to find the right hardware. There are two companies that make high quality interior mortise locksets that I've found - Nostalgic Warehouse is one and the other is Emtek. Both brands are carried at House of Antique Harware online. Rejuvention (http://www.rejuvenation.com/) also sells one of the brands - I believe the NostalgicWarehouse ones - and you can customize for interior privacy, dummy, etc and choose finish, knob, locking type (latch, key) backplate. But the price reflects that ($150-ish per set). Some other sites carry the Nostalgic Warehouse hardware and you should search for that online once you figure out what backplate style you need at a cheaper price. For bathrooms, I prefer the latch type without the keyhole, it's easier than inserting a skeleton key. In the end -- $100+ for each set was cost prohibitive for me since I'm doing a complete remodel and an addition so continued searching and lucked out finding the "Prime Line" series at Homedepot.com at around $30 a set. Yes, there is a difference in quality, but it's what I could afford at the moment so it's worked ok so far. They are all skeleton keys and I've got the keys hanging on the knobs with ribbon like others have mentioned. Here's a picture of my new doors and the Prime Line set with my Dad testing it after he mortised it out. This post was edited by kjo_tx on Thu, Jul 11, 13 at 10:53

Space is the biggest issue. Hinged doors need a decent area to swing all the way open, whether they swing in or out, center hinged or jamb hinged, is entirely up to you. Sliding doors don't require any additional space to function. many companies make attractive versions of both sliders and hinged doors, so look around. I do agree that cheap is to be avoided. Buy the best product you can. You'll be happier in the long run. Many companies today offer locks that can be re-keyed to match your other locks, if that's important to you. Be sure to read the care & maintenance information for any product you research. Many of them recommend periodic adjusting to insure proper operation, which will increase the life of the product as well. Good luck!!!

I spot your sister's trio of art next to your back door! They look fantastic there! (Did I suggest that? Or did I just think that was the right spot for them?) I still see Timothy's post. Maybe they vetted him and he proved he wasn't a spammer. That would be nice. We've had a rash of new posters who've come in and done nothing more than pitch a link on multiple threads. I reported on spammer who did that about a week back and the posts are now gone.

So far I can’t recommend anything about your product or customer service, change my mind. Thanks, Chad I received a call from "Michaeline" @7:20AM CST today and she couldn't be more pompous or dismissive of any comment other than JW is infallible by not acknowledging there is any issue. Worst customer service experience I've ever had. This company is terrible and I hope they go bankrupt. I told her I would do everything in my power as a consumer make that so by steering others away from their proudly antiquated company. However, I learned from my reseller that Ashland Hardware Systems - https://www.ashlandhardware.com - makes their hardware so I may see what they say, but am expecting more of the same since their website isn't even HTTPS. I am pretty defeated at the moment.
