Abstract

A standard mortise latch lock escutcheon or trim plate having an aperture fo r housing an electroluminescent strip captured within a two-piece lens structure. A dc or ac external power supply converter is used in conjunction with the existing grid power. The converter is situated on the mortise lock casing. The electroluminescent strip is captured within the lens structure along with partially transparent, lettered signage. The lens structure has a n outer lens with a protrusion to align the signage within the aperture. The lettered signage is reversed lettered, such that light emits through the letters and is blocked by an opaque background when the electroluminescent strip is supplied power. In instances where the mortise latch lock is used o n doors for purposes other than egress, a switch may be used to toggle power t o the signage when the thumb lever is turned in a locked position.
