CAN YOU FIT A DOOR HANDLE AND LATCH IN 5 MINS ?

[@SD43]

Welcome back Jon, we've missed you pal.

[@Oli_Hudson]

Interesting video, thanks. Considered getting one of those before but didn't like the handles they offer. I like a larger diameter handle, whereas theirs are a bit spindly looking!

[@trevordarby467]

Great to see you back think id rather keep doing it the old way customers like to have a choice it’s quick but Icould still fit furniture in 10 minutes and it’s more satisfying not a fan of the latch but if you’re fitting doors day In day out maybe it’s the future great video as always

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Trevor totally agree me personally old school all day long all the best Tony 👍

[@sawdustmakerjohn347]

If you hang loads of doors its worth getting. Not every customer finds a Jigtech handle they like but probably 70% of my customers do. I save 15-20mins per door so on a good sized house the £60 odd for the kit is paid for. The jigtech door packs are good value too at around £20-25.

[@garethheathcote4988]

The nicest downside for me is having to use their handles, if done other manufacturers started making ones that would work with this system then I would happily use and recommend them.

[@woodworks2123]

Great idea but as others have said limiting a system to only be able to use their few handles is not great when a client usually has already picked the handles they want.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi woodworks so true all the best Tony 👍

[@eduardovalentimdesouza5646]

Excelente trabajo👏👏👏👍

[@saxon7787]

Great vid. Does seem a bit limiting though. Maybe site work that value their products and you’d be flying. What’s the going rate to hang doors these days? Typical softwood/hardwood doors plus furniture labour only?

[@dannym670]

£65 per door 👍

[@noahproblemo1257]

Well done, always interesting.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Great job there John and fair play for trying to get it done in the claimed 5 minutes.😝

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Del it’s a funny how they claim this, what they should say fit 10 first then you might be at 5mins but it’s a good idea but the kit is way to expensive for me but I’am tight 😂 all the best Tony 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@BuildWithAE Hi Tony. I still think Jon getting below 10 minutes was impressive.👍 As for being tight. My Mrs says a squeak when I walk.🤪 Cheers.

[@paulknowles9727]

Great vid pal, but as a qualified Joiner, how quick can you do it without using the jig? :D

[@sygad1]

why didn't they design it with the screws going top to bottom, that way it won't exit the frame? Great video BTW

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Darren much appreciated, I think it was just a design fault all the best Tony 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Nice work Jon........

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks 👍

[@sawdustmakerjohn347]

I have fitted hundreds of if not getting on towards a thousand Jigtech handles. Same jig, on second set of holesaws. Its incredibly fast for getting the handles and latches in. Especially the privacies for ensuites, bathrooms etc. Dont bother with the the keep markers etc. Its not great. I discard the round "smartkeep" Jigtech supply a traditional keep now too. Great system, huge timesaver. Probably shave 15-20mins off each door hanging. Handles and latches are good quality and look smart too.

[@dannym670]

Will this system work on 44mm doors ie fire doors?

[@ironian24]

As mentioned before a nice system and can see how it can make it really easy to install, but for me there are a few flaws. All good if you use thier handles and locks, realistically that is not going to happen. Secondly I can see those holes saws getting blunt quickly and they are slow compared to auger bits or other sharper more expensive cutters that work better and quicker. It doesn't take me long at all to mark up and drill a standard handle bolt and keep, save your money as this has limited use to thier product only, tools look cheap and look like wearing out quickly and costly. Better of making your own jig for what ever handles you use and keeping it safe for the next time.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi IR it’s not my cup of tea but thought let’s give it a whirl, John gives his thoughts all the best Tony 👍

[@b21playa]

Great video, but not keen on the tear out it produced around the latch

[@roscopeco2000]

I've used this kit on 5 doors it's excellent

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@ironian24]

Only 5? Have you fitted anymore? I can see this being very limited as my customers generally buy their own handles so that would stay in the workshop if I bought one. Not worth the expense for me plus it only saves a 1 minute or 2 as I do mine the traditional way.

[@roscopeco2000]

Yeah but I suspect we swimming in different pools. I am a home owner not a tradesperson but what I can say I found it a very good system. Also the handles are excellent quality

[@bootsmclaughlin1438]

And were is it made or do i have to guess lol good to see you back lad

[@fireblaster9961]

Great job, personally I don’t use this system anymore, explaining to customers their kind of stuck to using jig tech tech handles for the future just became to complicated...I now use sauber jig and have for long time now. 🔥🔫

[@deanripley2875]

Been using these for a while now. Get ready for a call back saying the latch is broken.

[@MrB3ngy]

It’s a gimmick, great for the first few doors but the holesaw bits go blunt very quickly. And they don’t have a massive range handles. And the ones they do are expansive. Bought one last year. Threw it away after a month.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Dodgy Dave it is limiting in handle range but one of the handles was a spot on match for the existing handles, the quality of the tool bits they seemed pretty good but you would have to use it quite a bit for me to really ascertain that all the best Tony 👍

[@conradsmith7752]

It's crazy you have to buy and fit the £3 plastic spacer every time!

[@jimgeelan5949]

John, I’d send that lot back to benchmark including that cheap cardboard door and stick to the top quality work and materials you all normally use

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Jim the doors are reasonable priced and are actually built well, personally the jig it’s to much money good idea I think it’s more designed for the DIYer than trade we thought let’s give it a whirl because we had to match the clients existing doors and handles and they were the best match all the best Tony 👍

[@jimgeelan5949]

@@BuildWithAE I’m sorry Tony I always agree with you but just looking and have come across these pressed doors and the fast fix type of ironmongery we are on the slippery slop of McDonald’s type of workmen/woman ship ( have to be pc now a days) give it to them cheap and they will be lining up around the corner, All of a sudden we accept it as the norm and we all think cheap rubbish with no edging is the nice look

[@BuildWithAE]

@@jimgeelan5949 Hi Jim you are quite right the problem with the way the market has been pushed with materials it’s a supply and demand, it’s a mass produced door it’s never going to be a handmade and as you know we have to fit all kinds of products all the best Tony

[@sawdustmakerjohn347]

@jimgeelan5949 Hollowcore doors have been around for a very very long time. Nothing wrong with them really. They are definitely budget doors. I won't have them in my house but that's personal choice. With an oak veneer door, handles and ironmongery it's £200 plus per door supply and fit If its a hollowcore primed it is £100 a door supply and fit. Big difference As for the fast fit stuff, I can fit whatever people want. But if they like a jigtech one why wouldn't I. New things are always coming out. Presumably you have eschewed modern technology and wrote your comment via semaphore

[@Brown969]

Not 5 minutes when the plug is stuffed in the saw...but hopefully you learn the first time. Made this mistake and took a further 15 minutes to get the saw un-bunged!! I do like the kit though and I'm sure you'll be a Jigtech convert after the 3rd door. 😉

[@jpk2742]

Yes I can fit 1 inside 5 minutes. The jigtech is quick though

[@paulmorris3613]

Sod's law is the customer would want a different handle, I assume id you by a different make later you need to buy a new door?

[@PENGthing123]

What’s happened with the regency Reno??

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Amandeep it’s on it’s way 👍

[@steveonimac]

Nice video but …lol stick to saying strike plate …keep Plate is a DIYer phrase lol and the tab to snug up the door should be done after decorating as I bet that don’t latch now …we know the decorator will not flip it back 🤣👍🏻

[@sawdustmakerjohn347]

Keep isn't a DIYer phrase! I have always called it a keep. Maybe it's a regional thing.

[@mattymcr8955]

Not a fan of this set up... pretty easy and quick but you’re stuck with using their latches if it fails!

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Matty very true handles were a cracking match for the clients all the best Tony 👍

[@julianthornton9076]

Nooooo!!!!!! what are you doing A&E!!! you are a cut above the rest sort of firm, fitting ten bob doors with ten bob ironmongery even the screws are made by Plasticine!!

Hi Julian Client picked the handles to match the existing they are reasonably priced but I wouldn’t buy the jig to expensive for me but I’am tight 😂 all the best Tony 👍

[@gaurasrspublishing]

So you can't possibly do it in the time they say and you also end up with a screw poking out of the door frame .... but it works perfectly! FFS these people have no shame in promoting a product just becasue they're being paid for it, despite the obvious failings that they point out!

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Anonx101, We were not paid to promote this product. As I mentioned at the start of the video, the kit was given to us to try out. It was not intended as a promotional video, merely a demonstration of it's use and an honest review throughout. John

[@gaurasrspublishing]

@@BuildWithAE Well the claims for the product and the performance of the product are inconsistent and it's on that basis it should be judged - so therefore it's just marketing bullshit combined with bad design from the manufacturer and you endorse it by giving it a thumbs up and say it's a great piece of kit.

[@BuildWithAE]

@@gaurasrspublishing Hi we haven’t endorsed anything we have just simply reviewed it and that’s it, if you look in the comments you will see I tell you my thoughts and it’s something I would not buy, but why can’t we review it how would someone know weather it’s any good. You are a grown up and you can make your own mind up, all the best Tony 👍
