Mounting type—surface mount, full mortise, or others—affects both installation complexity and lock strength. The best mounting type is the one that fits your furniture or enclosure without major modifications and provides the security level you require. For example, surface-mounted locks like the CompX C8414-KA-4G are easier to install and ideal for retrofits, while full mortise options like the CompX C8384-KA-3 offer a flush, concealed appearance. A variety of mounting types ensures you can match your project’s requirements.
