Who does this type of work for existing doors? Locksmith? Carpenter? Handyman? Who would i call?

[@APBourneBespoke]

Hi Any good carpenter would be able to do this.

Helpful video, thanks. What make and model lock did you use?

You used a 16mm for the faceplate on the first shallow cut. What size did you use for the second deeper cut (where the mechanism slides up and down)?

[@APBourneBespoke]

Hi Michael I’m pretty sure I used a straight fluted 12mm cutter.

Do you bevel the edge of the door for clearance?

[@APBourneBespoke]

Hi Calvin I don’t bevel the edge of the door if I’m fitting a multipoint lock, as it may twist the face of the lock and cause problems with the operation. So long as you have a decent margin/gap around the the door you shouldn’t have any problems.

I would like to see a video on how to fit a multi-point lock to a master and a slave double front wooden door.

[@gerard4039]

Same system ,,, you have to dig holes and trenches exactly to fit the formes of the lock in every place …

How much roughly would something like this cost?

Hi Lauren Here is a link to the exact one I used in the video. www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/product/era-5-point-timber-and-upvc-door-lock-514043?vat=1&shopping=true&infinity=ict2~net~gaw~ar~387176555199~kw~~mt~~cmp~Smart%20Shopping%20%3E%20Top%20Products~ag~Ad%20group&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhs79BRD0ARIsAC6XpaW1peQWZJDkjKrNSRB2zEdufzIj__FucqrDqT1HtTI5-BF1AL9HXeAaArVQEALw_wcB I hope this helps Adrian

@@APBourneBespoke thank you! Is it an expensive job to pay someone to fit a lock like this?

[@APBourneBespoke]

Shouldn’t be to expensive. A good carpenter will get one of these fitted in a day. Depends where you are as to the cost of a local carpenter. Anywhere between £100-£200 approximately.

You’re welcome.

Just a quick note that this video has been edited a few times since its original posting. In the original video I’ve commented on the handle holes and handle fitting not being done as this door was for a customer and the handle had not been chosen. Hence why this was not done. This has now been removed but if anyone needs any advice on the aforementioned, please just message and I will gladly oblige.
