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?
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!
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.
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
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.
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 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.
@@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.

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...
Good job

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!
