Very nice job. Not as many of those locks in the USA. My husband and I love the look of the EU door locks. God bless your beautiful country 🙏 Thank you for sharing your video 🙏
Hey Lizzie. Thank you for watching. Myself and my wife were in New York a couple of weeks ago and I must say, the locks don’t look as secure as what we have here in the UK. However. New York was stunning and I can’t wait to one day go back ☺️🇺🇸
Thank you for your reply. Your absolutely correct. Please be safe while visiting New York as it's an extremely dangerous place. Unfortunately we have a lot of crime in the USA at this time. God bless 🙏🎄
When marking up and drilling the euro profile holes and the keep I like to run a wide piece of painters tape and then do all marking up/alignment stuff on the tape rather than the wood. I find it makes for a tidy a job and great if you want to see your markings and verify that’s it’s correct prior to drilling etc. Worth trying next time and see if you like it. Best
Great job mate!! Bang Tidy….have to love that jig. Might have to buy a square now, and something rolled up behind my passenger seat, it looks purposeful and I’m easily led!! 🤣🤣
4:11 Yes it’s a Euro deadlock in the MLA Exam. You won’t have any issue passing with your standard of work. That’s assuming you haven’t done it already! When I did the MLA exam years ago it was, Install a rim cylinder & deadlock Open a rim cylinder & deadlock Then a written exam .
Nice job Andy. You have to love those mortice jigs. I fitted a euro deadlock the other week but it wasn't a thumbturn, I stuck in a Lathams 30/30 euro cylinder. I did exactly the same when fitting the keep, right where there was a screw. I used a hacksaw blade. Great video.
🤔 Andy on the MLA test I think you have to cut out a mortice in a door by hand using the old fashion method and also I think you have to cut a key to a 3G110 by hand also but don’t quote me on that though bud cause am not 100%.😩🤫 yes I know a lot of thinking there, it hurts trust me.🥴😵💫🤯
Yes mate I think you are correct. I think you also have to open a BS deadlock and do a written exam as well! I think it’ll be the written part I’d struggle with the most 😐
@@brighton_locksmith you can do it with coaching I believe too mate not sure if that means they give you the answers to be fair 😂 heard there not too hard general knowledge ect
No problem there are lots of vids on TH-cam about fitting mortice locks but not many on the euro style, I know there is not much in it but the escutcheon tip is good for a newbie like me so cheers 😀
Top job mate. I always use a Stanley prior to chusels as it helps guide them to I find. My ocd would have liked to see a good thbturn though lol. If I had a pound f9r every time I'd lest something on a job too I'd be a bit better off as well I might add🤣😂go steady mate and have a great week🙏👍😁
Thanks for pointing that out John 😂 Yep, from memory I think there was a bit of a mixture of finishes going on with the door! But I know I didn’t have a brass cylinder 😐 Don’t judge me on this 1 job 😁😁
Great video mate once again, definitely good them pens 👍 what sizes do you stock in thumb turns? 1 that's thrown me what to stock is them 🤔 have most sizes in key key cylinders ect 🤣 newbie question
Another great video Andy. Nice tip regarding the square for the centre of the euro, how do you calculate the height of the euro against that center line so that it is in line with the lock when fitted?
Thanks Colin. I hold the lock on the door, mark the top and bottom of the faceplate, mark the top and bottom of the lock case and mark the top and bottom of the keyway or in this case the euro keyway. Then I use my square to transfer all the marks around the the other side of the door 👍🏼 I hope that all makes sense 😁 Thanks for watching buddy 🙏🏼
@@brighton_locksmith Thanks Andy all understood, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me. Keep those Videos coming they are great, but keep costing me money buying things I didn't know I needed but now cant do without :) . The only thing I struggle with is it looks like you use a impact driver to screw things in and when I try that the head strips so maybe I just don't have the knack yet.
@@colinpennington4581 No worries buddy. Sorry I’m costing you money 😂😂 You’ll thank me in the long run 😊 You don’t need to use an impact driver mate. I only do that to save keep swapping the bits over in 1 drill 👍🏼
Hey Andy,. Nice Video. Is it normal in UK (or Europe) that doors don't come prepped for a lock or door set? Also, no Handle, only the lock body and Night Latch.
Yes mate, completely normal on a wooden door. They will come blank for you to fit whatever locks you want to fit 👍🏼 Thanks as always for watching Gumby 🙏🏼
Thanks buddy. All good thank you. Hope you are well too? I use the trend ones mate. Had them a while and they are still doing good 👍🏼 Thanks for watching buddy
He is taking advantage of the Versa locks to save carrying double the amount of stock by the looks of it (they have brass and chrome on them so “work for both”). I do the same, works for me.
Hi mate. Yes there was already a chrome night latch but witch a brass cylinder, and a chrome pull on the front. I didn’t have a brass cylinder in the right size, but given the mixture of finishes going on anyway I thought it fitted in well 😄 Thanks as always for watching 😊🙏🏼

Hahaha Thanks mate!!
The rolled up thing is just a foam roller that I use at the gym!! Not locksmith related!! Well not yet anyway 😂😂😂
4:11 Yes it’s a Euro deadlock in the MLA Exam.
You won’t have any issue passing with your standard of work.
That’s assuming you haven’t done it already!
When I did the MLA exam years ago it was,
Install a rim cylinder & deadlock
Open a rim cylinder & deadlock
Then a written exam .
Ah thank you. No I haven’t done it and I have the application ready to send off this week 😁
Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏼
Nice mortise install-- you make it look easy.
Thanks Dave 😊 And thank you for watching 🙏🏼

Nice one Roy. Yes the jigs make life much easier. Crazy how many times I’ve hit a nail behind the keep 🤯
Thanks as always for watching buddy 🙏🏼

I have fit a few mortice locks myself with a mallet and chisel. The drill jig looks like it saves alot of time.

They are great Roy 😁

Yep, from memory I think there was a bit of a mixture of finishes going on with the door! But I know I didn’t have a brass cylinder 😐
Don’t judge me on this 1 job 😁😁
No I wont always do a good job
Ps you fancying the MLA exam mate ? Trained/training there myself 👌
Yes, I have the application here so will be applying today 😁
@@brighton_locksmith good luck,with me being new I get 4 years to do it 😂 should be ok by then 😂 get practicing on that 3g110 key 😂

Thanks buddy. All good thank you. Hope you are well too?
I use the trend ones mate. Had them a while and they are still doing good 👍🏼

odd mix of brass and brushed steel and chrome finishes. Don't you get all brass profile cylinders and night latches ?
He is taking advantage of the Versa locks to save carrying double the amount of stock by the looks of it (they have brass and chrome on them so “work for both”). I do the same, works for me.
Hi mate. Yes there was already a chrome night latch but witch a brass cylinder, and a chrome pull on the front.
I didn’t have a brass cylinder in the right size, but given the mixture of finishes going on anyway I thought it fitted in well 😄
