Do trend do a template for the common tubular latch and face plate ? I’ve been doing these for years with a 23mm spade bit, but as you know the hole for the tubular latches aren’t round
unsure I've had this many years, I'll usually cut in by hand as its not worth setting up for just one lock. Though I'm guessing there are plenty of different jigs available now.
Yes ideally you'd need a long cutter and large router. I basically use the smaller router and cutter to make a shallow recess then finish the full mortice with a Auger bit, it saves time on the marking and setting out. Cheers
Nice!
Can the jig be used when the door is still hanging?
Yes, absolutely
I did 26by hand in work a few weeks ago and my hands were throbbing for days they got me something similar to this since 😂
Hi, Great video and explanation of the Jig, where did you buy the wooden case for it ? Thanks
Its only a quick overview, but worth looking into if you need something like this. I made the box myself!
@@locksmith-training OK thanks , iv searched everywhere for one lol
Very organized! .
Good vid Pal...what do you do for routing the door jambs?
I take it the trend jig does not do door standards?
Sorry no jig for the Jambs for Trend, I have some made by myself, or its get the chisels out! 👍🏻
How often do you find that you don't have the correct faceplate for a particular brand of lock?
Thank you
They do cover a good portion, if you don't have the absolute correct one, just find the size smaller than you need, and just finish with a chisel!
I have one of these jig set ups, what are the 3 handles on the rear for.
to clamp it to the door. Cheers

Do you have to use a deep plunge router with that or can you use a 70mm plunge .good vid mate

What are the small metal strips for on the underside of the jig?
Hi, these are spacers, they are used to hold the jig off the face of the door so the guide bush doesn't scrape on it as you router.
