Baldwin is good, higher end Schlage, Accurate Lock, Corbin Russwin, Yale, Marks all make quality products. I would look for a 3-point (or more) lock were it me, especially for a solid wood door.

@millworkman do you have any opinions on this Emtek stuff?

I've heard that about multi-point and wood. I'm in Chicago area. Southern exposure, no overhang. So I'm a bit worried about wood movement (I used to do some cabinetmaking) I seriously considered fiberglass but...it just doesn't look as good. But mostly I have sidelights and I can't bear replacing original wood sidelights with fiberglass.

My current door is wood and has been there 80 years, albeit smothered in lead paint. The new one will be a Simpson Nantucket, which they warranty for 10 years without an overhang. So we shall see...I'm encouraged by the performance of the previous door.

They sell ton of Emtek. Here is the really the only place I see or hear of people having issues. While I do not sell retail or residential products for a number if years (commercial estimating and sales not for the last 15 years) I still know of plenty of people in that market space who sell Emtek successfully. Also you said mortise lock and the brands I mentioned are the front runners in mortise locks.

Question: I'm anal and OCD about this kind of stuff but I noticed that both Emtek and Baldwin use brass that has lead in it (to aid in machining). I had a Baldwin all picked out (and a emtek style I liked as well). How concerned about this should I be (they're all prop 65 labeled). I don't want a chance in hell of lead exposure and it sorts of pisses me off I have to worry about lead.

Talking to Rocky Mountain Hardware, they have a bronze with no lead in the alloy. Does anyone else?
