Well, in short words, a mortise lock blends the deadbolt and the latch in one single lock. After which, a rectangular opening named mortise is sliced into the side of your door. The complete lock adjustment is fixed into this mortise. Generally, they’re used in commercial usage, however, you can use them for your home as well.

Whereas, the Sesame lock is much more adaptable as it stays over your current latch hardware. With these locks, you don’t have to replace or remove anything. All you’ve to do is stick them in a spot with the included sticky strips.
Most importantly, it’s a smart lock turner.
