Great vid boss. U completely helped me solve my biggest issue with a DIY I have for the weekend

Straight and very simple way to explain..thanks

Gives good idea for those who are not professional.

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.

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". I had a feeling this was gonna be a waste of time when I notice that the name Mortise was misspelled Mortice. Generally when you don't pay attention to detail in one area, you won't in another. Bravo.

Just used this as a guideline to fit in my new door with that lock.

Best video of its kind much appreciated mate

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!

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..

That is a lot of work but looks nice. 👌✅

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

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.

incomplete work, what about the frame work ha ho hi

This would be a good video if I asked how to fit a mortice lock and not install one.
