- Jigtech is a revolutionary new door handle and latch fitting system designed and developed by Dale Hardware, one of the leading distributors of Architectural & Builders door Hardware in the UK.
Jigtech is set to transform the door handle and latch fitting world, with the innovative system reducing fitting time from over 25 minutes as standard to under 5 minutes - a reduction, and saving of 80% in time, benefitting both contractors and fitters alike with increased efficiency for both resulting in cost savings and increased earning potential respectively.

There are two grub screws on each side. They are easily lost when fitting. It's a tragedy that they don't include spares.
Our carpenter lost a few....now got to find some more.
The other issue is that the latch is a very tight fit in ours because the doors are hardwood....tried removing one for painting but no chance. It's a great design and carpenter praised how much time it saved, plus it's very neat.....but future serviceability will be interesting 🤔
Me and a fellow chippie will be buying ours shortly for a job with quite a few doors to hang. I think its a brilliant idea as it is true, its a 30 minute job to put a latch in by hand. I can see others apprehensions with being tied into a specific brand of hardware in order to use it. 9 times out of 10 the client wants to purchase their own hardware which would hinder the use of the jig to its full potential but I have heard from previous users that they have adapted a way to use it with other brands. Like i said, i'll be investing in one of these fairly soon :)
Fitted under 5 mins but if you notice the latch keep had already been chiseled out so add on a few more minutes for that.
A good idea but as jack will said below its far too dear for a piece of plastic,but if jigtech want to send me one to try i will give you my honest opinion
The idea is brilliant but I found the hole saws burned though the wood when using on Howdens oak doors which has a chipboard core and it took over 5 mins remove the plug from both of the hole saws as they are to hot to touch other than that all worked well with the jig
You are not showing changing the insert in the back of the jig , to bore the larger hole. ?
Hi. When I use 25mm hole saw it make slight bigger hole that I felt. When I have installed smart latch with out tapping 🔨 with hammer smart latch goes in with finger push. Is it ok or what point I have missed it? Why smart latch fitting was lose in my case. advise me please. Which screw driver should be used for smart latch because screws are very little.Thanks.
It's ok if your customer has selected to have this set of locks and handles. Useless if your fitting traditional square faced latches and handles.
JPT. that was 4hrs 48 mins
Works great with handles and latchiketbis but can't figure out a bathroom privacy turn. There's nothing to screw into. Anyone help?
They sell additional privacy sets. Which requires a privacy Smartlatch ( this has the addition of a Detent Dowel ) you also require a set of additional Roses ( escutcheon plates ) which replace the original roses, one has a hole that is drilled into the escutcheon plate/rose at a pre-drilled position this hole allows for the fitting of the Pin ( provided ) that screws into the Detent Dowel. When the door is then closed and privacy is required, the Pin is pushed in, this then turns the latch from a passage latch into a privacy latch. The handle is then depressed in the normal manner to disengage the privacy feature, thus opening the door. Hope this helps
It's just taken me a day to hand fit 12 latches and 3 toilet/bathroom locks. Fucking nightmare. I even used the souber mortise jig for the holes 😖 doors were solid to chisel.
@Ricardo Rocco no thanks
@Ricardo Rocco send me pic of your gf though
Not a bad product, but it's definitely not as easy as shown in vid. The jig isnt very durable, broke after 4th installation, had to glue it back together. The 25mm hole saw was more 24mm, as a result the latch didn't slide in, had to buy a different brand hole saw, which made it 1000 times easier. Then the next problem, was the latch didn't sit flush to the face of door.
The concept is good, but there are flaws. Unfortunately in my case, I'd already bought over 20 handles and the jig set.
Why don't you guys door a jig for hinges too?? That would make more sense.
Trend do jig for himges
I can fit a latch and handle in under 3 minutes
The current record for fitting the latch and levers is 1min 16sec. This is starting on a fresh door with no markings or pre-cuts. Usually, if you were taking your time and being careful it would take about 5 minutes instead of the 20-25 it would usually take.
A minute a 16 seconds!
Shit, don't tell the boss!
That second hole saw wobbled about badly enough to take all the paint off on side, thought they might have given him an unbent one! No thanks

I don’t get it?! That green spacer is just for a one time use? What’s the point. The company i work for it won’t provide me green spacers :))
The green spacer is as you say a one time use component, but what it does do is align the latch, also it has locator through holes which then align the handles. I for one feel that as a Quality British Product, ( not you B&Q/WICKES CRAP ) The Handles / latch n keeper + 3 Quality Hinges Set) are worth the money. If you do have any number to fit then it's simple enough to make your own jig ( I have made my own which will do both 45/57mm Backset Latches ). But then life is about Choices isn't it ? My Choice for ALL FUTURE DOOR HANDLE, HINGE & LATCH SETS, will be to fit the jigtech products. I personally think that they are the Dogs Dangles !!
Some of their latches come with a spacer.
it is not that expensive system, you can buy 10 sets(hinges, handle and latch) with free jig at £179 that is £18 per set while you still keep the £60 jig.
Where is that deal?

People on here saying it takes 20-25 minutes to fit a latch. I have never met a joiner that takes that long in 38 years of being a joiner. It takes around 5 minutes to fit a normal latch and handle on average. If you are a joiner and that’s not the case you are doing something wrong.
if you're a time served competent chippy you won't need the jig.....but if you're a diy'er the jig and handles for your new extension come to a lot less than hiring the chippy...a few savings here and there add up.
These sort of tools make no sense to me. When you have multiple types of door fittings and styles of locks and handles and then you design a system that will restrict you to one type, no thank you, you can make it look as high-tech and slick as you like but if I can't do a job to my customers specifications its useless.
I get sick of companies trying to lock you into their "Do it our way" system. I want a modular flexible system, I want reliability, I want support and up to date add-ons and most importantly I want amazing fast customer service.
If I did this what would you people think? would be interested to here your suggestions... keep em clean lol!
What a palaver and you expect us to pay how much ... £60 for the displeasure ... then spend Exorbitant prices on your door handles, thanks but nooo thanks. If you wanted to sell you high priced door handles you should have thrown the tool in for free or sold it at an approriate cheap price ... to promote the sales of your door handles
Hi Jack, Im sorry you feel this way. Jigtech is designed so you can fit a handle and latch in less than 5 minutes from scratch. It's here to save time meaning you can hang more doors in a day and move onto the next job.
We provide a wide range of levers supplied in premium or contract quality. These range from £12 - £18 and come with a 5-year guarantee - In our opinion, a very reasonable price considering the quality and assurance you would not have to return to site to rectify issues and the time it saves you to fit the handles.
Dale Hardware jig teck is brilliant use it all the time doing doors. 3 minutes to fit
