Great demonstration video - should add that a utility knife should be used to score the area being chiseled to prevent wood breaking off and making an unsightly finish. Always sand smooth after so finish paint can be applied. 7/10
Step 7 should be, affix the mounting plate bolts to the rim cylinder. Also, no mention of cutting down the connecting bar if required depending on door thickness.
This video will help me fit my lock. It shows that the 32 mm diameter hole goes right through the door but there is still space for the backing plate two wood screws to be screwed in. One must work accurately here because there is not a lot of space! What is the minimum thickness of the door required to fit this lock? Thanks.
Would be better to make pilot holes for your screws before drilling them in (mark positions with a bradawl, then use a 2mm drill). And chiselling is better done with a wooden mallet than a steel hammer. But, a very useful detailed set of instructions
This only covers the carpentry. The difficulty of adjusting the length of the connecting rod isn’t mentioned. I had to use a metal saw to shorten mine but you can use a pair of wire cutters (see the East End Carpenter video). It’s the most difficult thing to do and if you don’t know how long to make it, it’s a bit scary trying to guess. Essential information. My Yale night lock is identical to this one.
Overall reasonably good, but if this chap is a qualified carpenter he needs a refresher course! Done? Really? Either the lock body is not level or the keep isn't! The fit around the keep/staple is very poor, no attempt to match the shape to the architrave. Grabber screws to fix it to the door, really! What's wrong with the screws supplied with all locks? No pilot holes, door not wedged whilst working on it. Poor chiselling technique, (with a blunt chisel) I could go on. I would also suggest using a marking gauge would help accuracy and neatness when setting out for the housings. Fitted at a 'comfortable height? Normally between 1200 to 1500mm from the floor. The VoiceOver is the best part.
Instruction good but technique very poor, marking out should be done from both sides and rebate for lock marked from centre line. Edges of lines for chisel section should be scored with knife to guide chisel to avoid poor execution as shown. Lock tab will need cutting depending on door thickness and NEVER use drywall screws in timber as they have no shear strength.
That's very helpful I don't know how to install one of my locks but now that I have learnt it here.
Thanks very much
The only vid I could find using the old-style P77 Nightlatch. Very useful!
Brilliant vid! And there is no way I will not remember my drill and chisel safety until my dying days!
Thanks I will use this to help me on fitting mine, made things alot more easier and better to understand
Great diction from the lady and very calming 10/10
Excellent video and clear diction in the commentary

Nice and clear and you great help
Thanks a lot guys! Very detailed instructions with safety precautions as well.

Excellent video: well thought through and presented.
Excellent demo :0 Great Job X
thank you
What about the locking rod if it's too long a bit of a major detail to miss!
same with the cylinder screws?
good detail video
excellent thumbs up
Remember your chisel safety.
I need to twist the key halfway backwards to get it out after locking . Someone can tell me why. Thanks
Let's use dry wall screws !
Helpful vedio but the H&S is an over kill...😠
Remember your drill safety!
very annoying.. ahh!
Did you see how many cuts he had on his hands 😂. However a very good video.
@@tippet262626 ha ha, he only practices drill safety when there is a film crew present...
Yeah dont tighten the bit by turing on the drill if you value the skin on your hands.

Sharp chisles always help. This one aint.
If you want a secure door get a metal door
By his hand wounds I can tell he doesn't follow the H&S and second his lock is pissed! 👎
what the the worst hand skills i have ever seen on youtube. think the best bit is the angle the screws went in.
