I have a framed ledge and braced hardwood front door. The ledge is the ideal height for fitting a mortice lock (just above a third of the way up the door), but that will mean cutting into the wedged tenons fixing the ledge. It's a hefty frame (100x56), and a very hefty ledge (180x56). Would I be better off just fitting to the frame slightly above or below the ledge?
