How to Install a Mortice Lock

Woodie's will show you how to install a mortice lock on an internal door. You'll have to do this if you replace the doors in your home.

3:50 "And that's how you don't install the top screw of the striker plate..."

[@donburke4886]

I agree..that's bloody terrible work

[@RatchetMonkey]

WOW. Can't believe they shown that

[@weitubefan]

you were trying to find a bone in a egg :)

[@puzzlering1]

Thank you for a very informative and well explained video, some great new tips Sam

[@Pwr2ThePeople]

Christ that strike plate was a bit rough

[@Robcatist]

A bit??!!! 😂

[@Pwr2ThePeople]

​@@Robcatist😂

[@Dazza19746]

It matches the lock but 👍🏻

[@warriorqueen9792]

You make it look so easy!!!

[@michaelm748]

great explanation and very helpful. Most of all I love the Irish accent!

[@AB_youtube]

Very well explained. Thanks

[@243WW]

Jesus wept on a mountain... I've seen trees gnawed down neater by a pack of beavers.

[@anjananaturelover2083]

🤣oh plz don't pick on him,at least he makes it look easy! You should see the mess the bloke fixing my door (as I type) is making! I'm lucky he brought his drilling machine...👍 from India 🇮🇳

[@shrimpy8188]

Very clearly explained, thanks!

3:50 What happened with that top screw? It was looking OK up until that point.

[@Zauchi]

ForViewingOnly you should see my house... just replacing the locks and handles on a few doors and every screw is at an angle! not fun

[@Dazza19746]

Doesn’t know the trick about plugging the old hole with a match / kebab skewer etc. 😜

[@Pollys13a]

Very helpful thanks.

[@letishaboyde9793]

1st if u have to use a hammer or mallet to get the lock into place its too tight. 2nd u dont have to drill from both sides, just drill from 1 till u just peirce the other side with th tip then use that as a reference to match up on the other side. 3rd use a 19mm for the mortice body not 16mm a 22mm for the handle bar hole and a 25mm for lock key hole, the handles body will cover everything up anyway wen u install it

[@lickaroosky]

Brilliant, why not do your own video?

[@thomasmcmeekin5515]

Instead of marking score with a sharp blade

[@BestUserNameUK]

Use Forstner not Auger bits, you get a much neater, flat bottomed hole.

[@Studhawk]

The drill bit drifted a little and there are other details to consider. studhawk.com How to Fit a Mortice Lock

[@youngmasterpete]

Grand.

[@Anonymous-vh6kp]

Good video, but does it work?

[@Studhawk]

Of course it does - you saw the handle moving nicely and the door close well. If confused try studhawk.com for How To

[@gerardsmith9477]

that’s as rough as tarzans feet fuck me that guys not a tradesman this is to show people what not to do

[@sarfeastlondoner]

🤣

[@met1589]

Cool

[@memeagain4106]

thanks for the video.. will this work on a hollow panel door?

[@MrPaddyvaltra]

me me again yes it will but panel doors split easier than the door he was working on so take it handy

[@simongraham5407]

yes recommend the door 44mm thick and get a 5 lever mortise lock

[@simongraham5407]

As above the door must be 44mm thick or whats the point?

[@Studhawk]

Yes because even a panel door has a block of wood inside for the lock to be drilled into as well as a 2x2 batten inside on length. Try Studhawk How to videos

[@dandan771616]

I would sack you if you fitted a lock that badly

[@Studhawk]

Try the new Studhawk How to Fit a Mortice Lock by Studhawk - don't mark around your lock with a pencil - mark around your lock with a marking knife as a knife mark is more accurate than a pencil line. Nice job though Woodie Ta ma ga hanowa

[@Poncke]

I just watched your video in your echo chamber, so the only thing that you might have done better is using a marking knife for 5 seconds in the entire job, the rest was infinitely more complicated and more work than what the chap in this Woodies video did.

[@markfleming5747]

Your fitting of the strike plate is awful

[@KOKO-ui4on]

Damn🙄

[@user-pt9hq7cp1u]

Казахи тут?😀

[@gariktv8756]

Worst install ever seen

[@Studhawk]

The basics were ok but watch studhawk's How to fit a mortice lock it explains more - studhawk.com
