Two-point mortise lock

A mortise locking system, comprising:

• a lock mechanism, comprising:
• a lock housing adapted for secure positioning within a first mortise;
• first and second locking members positioned within said housing, each having a first end and a hooked second end;
• an actuator mounted for rotational movement within said housing and adapted for user directed rotational movement;
• a motion translating linkage having a first end pivotally interconnected to said first end of said first locking member, a second end pivotally interconnected to said first end of said second locking member, said motion translating linkage being interconnected to said actuating member and adapted for corresponding movement when said actuator is moved;
• and
• a first bias member interconnecting said translating linkage to said housing, whereby said bias member retains said actuator and said translating linkage in a first position absent user force directed to said actuator;
• and
• a keeper adapted for engagement by said first and second hook ends, respectively.
