Great instructional video - Thanks!
Great vid boss. U completely helped me solve my biggest issue with a DIY I have for the weekend
A good and well explained video.
Straight and very simple way to explain..thanks
Gives good idea for those who are not professional.
Best video of its kind much appreciated mate
Just used this as a guideline to fit in my new door with that lock.
Great job
Great Help thanks
Nice 👍😊
Chiselling is an incredibly challenging skill to perfect. Much more time should have been spent on this step. I sincerely doubt the amateur won't totally botch this part of the installation.
Considering the noticeable gap that the installer left at the top and bottom of the mortise, I don't think he's very good at it either...
Quite a great job.
I like the looks of mortise locks but they severely weaken a timber door in the area they are installed. I wonder if their is a way to reinforce the door in the installed area? Great video!
maybe steel plasting it with some rods
In the US, we tend to only use a mortise lock in commercial doors and as such, they are all metal (at least around the perimeter for 4 inches or so)... I came across this video to see what it would take to install a US commercial J-hook type mortise lock in a wooden door. Typically, we use "bored cylindrical locks" which I considered to be not particularly secure since it weakens the door quite a bit at that point and is relatively easy to kick in. From looking at this video though, I'm pretty sure that installing a mortise lock would weaken the door even more.
I think it would make more sense from a structural standpoint that the lock mechanisms should be surface mounted with through-bolts between the portion of the mechanism that is on the outside of the door and the portion that is on the inside of the door plus a small hole in the center of the lock mechanism for the actuator rod to go through.
Very useful
Very good
The mortise lock I have measures 57 from Centre of the handle to Centre of the privacy lock spindle. Yet the printout of the template is 62. Should I disregard the pattern?
Very useful instructions thanks for uploading..
Thanks!
Nice video
Good nice video
thank you
Thanks for not showing the complete installation all the way to finish. That was brilliant, just end the video without additional steps on dismounting the handle. Should have labeled this how to drill holes for a Mortise lock and remove the work "install". Generally when you don't pay attention to detail in one area, you won't in another. Bravo.
Mortice is UK and mortise is US spelling you dumbo. Don't try to be smarter than you are.
Mortice is how we spell it in UK English. Agree with your comment tho needs more!
@@adolfogonzalez3051 Ok thank you for the correction and letting me know that there are alternate spellings. I have removed that criticism from my comment as I stand corrected.
Good job
How do I get or create a template ? does the instruction template come in the box with the new lock ? or do I need to take my pencil and draw around the lock to create a template ? please let me know
Rustyben nineoneone hi the templates are available to download from our website
That is a lot of work but looks nice. 👌✅
Great video thank you
A lot of these videos don't show fitting the keep. If you haven't shown the latching and the bolt throwing cleanly into the keep and how you've achieved that, how can you say you've successfully fitted a lock? I really don't know why they skip out fitment of the keep. Which is often the hardest part. Especially on an old house. What a pointless video.
Thanks sir
Hi... can we reverse the handle?
I'd approach a tradesman to fit your lock.
Do ya best gap the rest
Where can i download the template
Hows things was wondering did you ever find the template for it Thanks
Thanks u so much sir
Mashallah thanks a lot
Rough, lock wasn’t even bang on centre
Great

This would be a good video if I asked how to fit a mortice lock and not install one.
incomplete work , what about the frame work ha ho hi ......??????????????????
how much time does it requires
All depends on your skills! All going smoothly its probably a 30min job.
8hrs and then a new door and blood transfusion to the novice
