How to install a Mortise Mortice Lock and handles

[@ungratefulmango]

I've always wanted Steve Coogan to tell me how to use a chisel 😊

[@Studhawk]

I wish I was paid what he is!!

[@anthonydavies6021]

Thank you Michael. Fabulous to watch a craftsman at work with all the tips and wrinkles. Let's see how it turns out when the apprentice has a go!

Studhawk saw guides are designed to teach muscle memory in the arm otherwise it takes years to feel what 90 degrees is perpendicularly at the same time in 3d. Square in 2 planes.

[@chrissy212e]

Very nice video tutorial, I had to change my bathroom lock from a tubular latch to a mortice lock with privacy handles. Let's just say it was a learning experience, especially using a chisel for the first time. I was definitely heavy-handed with it, lol. I will definitely learn from it and follow your example nextime.Many thanks 😊

nice work ! after doing a home reno , i can say that this was probably my greatest nemesis ... its not as easy as it looks !

I just made the same comment. I can do it, and it is hard as hell!

[@Studhawk]

Look Listen and FEEL the tool and the materials. Get to know the sound of a tool when it is used correctly. I can tell from the next room if a guy is using his tools correctly - a saw sings, a paintbrush is slapped against the side of the tin to fully load the brush inside the bristles, a hammer also sings when used well as does screwing up screws with a screw gun or trowelling up plaster and many more. So learn to listen to tools and if it sound wrong - they aren't being used correctly.

[@megapangolin1093]

Excellent, clear and impressive video. This chap is a real craftsman, I wish he would be the guiding light for all tradesfolk. Well done Michael. I enjoyed this.

Yes thankyou - I made the video for the silicon deliberately messy so that viewers realise the tool forms the silicon and it does not matter how badly you caulk in - the silicon tool does the finishing! Thanks Studhawk

[@teambillco]

Great job you made it look easy, now I'm not so afraid to try!

[@Studhawk]

If you buy a silicon tool and use it wetted with washing up liquid and water you cannot fail to do neat silicon. It really is wrong to try to be neat on application of silicon - rather what you should concentrate on is filling all the gaps fully with silicon or you will be leaving voids underneath neat looking silicon runs - directly out of the gun. If you think this is ok and you prefer it - remember you will be leaving voids underneath the neat looking silicon. So stop trying to do neat silicon directly upon application and concentrate on filling the tile gaps fully before tooling up to a professional finish. Now you too are a professional silicon specialist!!

[@Studhawk]

Shukran - many thanks Salwan. If you want to know how a bathroom should be tiled or to tile it yourself then watch the whole video including the classroom setting out session. The 'setting out' section will tell you what to think of in advance of laying your first tile to start. Once you make the considerations talked about - you will start in the right place - which is vitally important. The 1/4 progressing tile bond is also great for hiding cuts in a small room and folding tiles around corners, which always looks best. Our most watched video is the How to professional Silicon which deliberately is shown messy - so that anyone will realise they can do perfect silicon. Please give us a like and share with your friends and subscribe. I made these videos as an advert for my inventions - The Studhawk Saw Guide Set which is not only for diy'ers but is a new accurate cutting instrument that is amazingly accurate. I also use it to make the shoulders for the half housing on the door frame you watched. If you want to cut skirting boards mitres - then clamp a 2 x 2 block onto the back of the skirting to create a running rail for the Studhawk to cut those deep mitres ( a pencil line will help to saw to ) It is my belief that anyone can learn to do this with the right know how. Many thanks Michael Orwin - Inventor and the guy in the videos!

[@andrewcbartlett]

Is this Warwick Davis's house?

[@africanhistory]

He makes it look simple. Make no mistake most people will not get this done they will completely bollock it up. People who do this as a profession have a feel for it. You not going to get it done so easily. He should mention get a very good chisel, because a cheap chisel will never get a good job done.

[@Studhawk]

No I disagree - anyone can do perfect silicon if they follow the video - the washing-up liquid mix and the silicon tool do the rest. All you have to do is make sure the silicon tool is wetted in water/wash-up liquid and you are as good as any professional. Cutting the nozzle of the tube to the right size for your joint is all you need to do - but remember to overfill the joint and cut it back to an 8mm profile with the silicon tool. To do that use the corner of the silicon tool that is about 8mm round. Any finer and it doesn't last years.

[@peterrobinson5326]

Great video - small negative is that the sound was too echoey. A bit jealous that you are so quick and accurate with the chiselling - I have to use a router.

[@Sciencedgofood]

Yeah way too echoey

[@pip5461]

Thanks, I wasn't too sure about that, I managed to place the locking part into a pre-existing hole of an old door,but made a complete mess of the frame trying to fit the strike plate. Now I know "How to"..... all I have to do is cut out a messed up piece of wood on the frame, somehow plug the gap and try again. If only I had seen this first (****).

How and where can I get the mortising device to buy?

Glad I could help

[@Studhawk]

Until you can afford a mortiser use a drill bit taped off for depth and use a mortice chisel to clean the mortice out. The Studhawk saw guide will help you to cut the tenons to depth see how to make a door frame.

[@timhayes629]

hi Brantz yes frustrating watching this video so time consuming

[@Studhawk]

If you want to buy a tool for everything or learn the traditional way - its up to you. I could tell people to use a router but that would mean extra expense either buying one or hiring one which would be more than a locksmith almost.

[@whodafukarweetribe]

two screws hold it for scribing round it.

[@Studhawk]

Sounds like an Excellent tip that I have never tried before in 40 years of doing this! If your screws drift slightly or the plate isnt held square the lock mortice can end up being marked out and twisted in the hole. I would say if one is very careful with pinpoint accuracy in using 2 screws and you use a Reiser or Cutter's screw it could well be a very good tip to speed up marking out - WELL SAID MATE I am going to try this - thanks for commenting.

[@5HeadM]

ty just did it

[@aaronjohnstone2800]

How did you reverse the latch?

[@Studhawk]

When you open the lock do it gently to ensure the spring doesn't flip out. On noticing how the spring keeps the latch in place - what you need to do is remove it then put the pieces back in the right order after reversing the latch (flip it over) then set the spring against the spring retaining lug. And then gently replace the case and fix the screw. Do it gently because the spring wants to eject the bits under tension. Appy a little logic and you will work it out. Make sure you remove the case plate gently in a horizontal position so it does not explode the pieces outwards when you open the lock or latch case.

[@thefurmanuk]

Good job

[@Tuffjobs]

Ca you cut the main lock hole with a router?

[@Studhawk]

Yes but controlling the router is difficult on the edge of the door and carpenters that do use a router use a hinge jig to clamp to the door. Listen to the chisel when you strike it and the same sound for each tap of the hammer cuts to the same depth!! So listen to the chisel and hammer. Only when you can cut a hinge with a chisel should you progress to a router.

[@lukeskywalker8008]

Good vid. However I can't help but think, a gold latch and silver handle just shouldn't be put together

[@Studhawk]

Just an example and i wasn't going to buy a new lock in silver just to look good on a demonstration video was I?

[@debojitdhar502]

When I do my wooden work then my cutting is not well😞😞😞

[@Studhawk]

Cut slower with the saw and get a medium or fine tooth saw for a neater cut. Your Studhawk saw guides will give you perfect cuts every time - just don't force the saw - stroke the cut with just the weight of the saw! To do this one has to hold a bit of the weight of the saw off the work. Also start on a pull stroke at a 45 degree downhill angle and let gravity help the cut and cut through the thin side of the wood and don't try to cut it on it's thick edge - it takes much more effort if you do!

[@elenamurphy9442]

Apologies for some sound issues in the How To Fit A Mortise Lock and Handles but our videos are not Hollywood productions by any means. Watch the whole video and you will get what was muffled the first time. The principles of chiselling are repeated throughout the video. Thanks for watching

[@kaylestephens31]

Or just use a souber lock jig, takes 1/4 of the time.

[@Studhawk]

So why don't we all buy these jigs - COST! And learning the traditional way with hammer and chisel teaches us the feel of the wood and rising or falling grain in the timber.

[@Mujahid2885]

[@GHOST-mi4jh]

How many keys come with a standard mortice lock, anyone????

[@conradsmith7752]

I thought the handle and lock was way too low, then saw at the end it was a cupboard 😀

[@Julia-qf8eh]

You made one fundamental mistake., when marking keyhole - you should have brought markings 1mm back, to allow for depth of plate., in my opinion.

[@Studhawk]

I did do exactly that - allow for the lock cover plate. There is a cut in the recording where I actually re-mark the hole but we used this footage anyway - well spotted!

[@philbutcher6959]

Hope others work that out. My dilemma today is a deep lock chamber that my wife want in the centre (exactly where the tenons are). Not happy about chiselling them out (brand new hemlock door). What you guys think?

This guy makes the chiseling look easy, but that's only because he's using cheap, new construction wood. I have a 104 year old, solid hard-wood door, that wood is (literally) hard-as-nails.

Try to get used to feeling the rise and fall of the grain and then which way to chisel.
