Can a front lock with key be added to a Swingframe?

No. The Swingframe is designed to accept a side plunge lock. We have a milling machine with a dye that was constructed to drill a hole into the side of the metal moulding profiles. This method allows for the installation of a side lock into a narrow metal profile. This is not possible with a front lock that requires a wider and deeper moulding profile. The side plunge lock does not detract from the overall design and appearance of the frame. Wood Poster Swingframes have Side Plunge Locks installed into the back of the wood profile.
