  • Looking over this mortice lock jig, and testing it by fitting a full body mortice lock with it. The tool can also do the face plate of the mortice lock saving time. This tool is a must have tool for any Locksmith that is required to fit mortice locks. The mortice lock tool saves time and money and leaves a quality finish compared to doing the same task by hand.

    Thanks Dr Lock, another enjoyable video.
    I use the SoubeHafele mortise jig as well.As others have noted you need a corded drill force the speed as the manufacturer specifies. There is another attachment for offset locks. Of course a beauty of this tool is that it is self centring on the door edge.
    There are also special Souter cutters for this tool that will do aluminium doors which saves an hour of work.
    Now when it comes to the cylinder and spindle and screw handle holes, there are fabulous Aussiejigs which are laser cut stainless that clamp up for 3572 and MS260 etc and takes only a min for dead accurate cuts. The Jig maker also does electric strike jigs which save a ton of time
    Thanks Dr Lock

    Yep 👍 a brilliant tool. I bought it for the same reason I had 8 walnut doors to fit. It paid for itself. The quality is perfect.

    Fitted thousands of locks with that tool. Another way to get the face plate depth, is just to hold to the stop and use the face plate to get the perfect depth. I also recommend using a corded drill it does a faster job and less stress on the drill.

      Way on the job ( jig fresh out box / zero experience) it did a good job, but I struggled a bit with my cordless drill and bought a corded drill straight after 😂

    Metabo and festool drill goes up to 3000 rpm will make this job bit easier, attaching a vacuum will save huge time cleaning up the after mess from the dust storm.

    When I do spade bit jobbos, I don't bother chiseling the mortice.
    Get a 22mm hole saw, take the guide bit out of the auger, and then use it to machine the rest of the timber out. Works a treat!

      Years ago when I was an apprentice, it was a swing brace and auger. Swing brace on the stomach 😂
      Then we got those auger that ar sharp the whole way, worked out if you drill all your overlapping holes, then sort of rock the drill up and down, it cleans hole absolutely perfect, no chisel
      I don’t really do many doors now, hence watching this video for a recap 👍🏻

    That looks like an awesome jig. Would a corded drill be better do you think? They normally have higher RPM. Great video as always Dr.👍🇦🇺😊

    It's a brilliant jig but you need a mains drill like you said. You can get a rebate jig that allows you to do narrow doors also and rebated ones

  • @vermontcreekbed

    Used that type of jig for many years (Hafele Version probably same manufacturer) It works pretty well but too fiddly to change the cutter for the face plate. I also use a Lock Jig by Trend which uses a router. It does a great job cutting in the face plate for both Timber and Aluminium Doors. Comes with a stack of templates but unfortunatly none suit a 3572 or 3582 face plate. I ended up milling some up. Recently added a corner chisel to the kit and it works pretty good as well. The only real problem with Morticers and Jigs is they are too messy. Fine for a building site, but no good in an office enviornment.

      Sounds like a cheap throw away drop cloth would help with clean up. Box stores have them in the paint department for a couple dollars. And takes up no space in the vehicle to store a couple

    • @vermontcreekbed
      @vermontcreekbed 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Except on building sites I always use drop sheets. If it’s an office environment I generally lace drill aluminium and metal doors and frames and spade bit out for the locks and electric strikes. Angle grinders on Aluminium and metal are great but Hot work permits and fire isolations make it difficult.

    Best to use a drill over 3000rpm it cuts cleaner

  • @penfold7800
    @penfold7800 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely a cheaper, less fiddly option than using a router. Not sure why you had to square off the faceplate cut, seeing as the lock you were fitting was designed to not need that. How long did it actually take to complete this worst case scenario? The video is sped up, so it's hard to tell.

    • @DrLockShop
      @DrLockShop  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Normally it would take about 15min to do the lock body and face plate, the face plate has square edges, it was not fitted
