Atrium locks are mortise-style locks, which fit into the edge of a door. The lock trim is usually large and decorative, with a thumb-turn lock located below the levered handles. Only a few holes must be drilled on the front and back panels of the door, so the locks can be replaced without having to patch large holes. You can also replace the lock cylinder and keep the old trim if you need to rekey the lock.
