HOW TO make a lock jig - fast carpentry!!

[@adamanslow6881]

I watch this video a year ago and made the jig and it's a brilliant idea still use the jig well better than a jig off internet

[@rjwf362]

Hi Phil. Thanks for the video. Very informative and easy to follow. I made one up, fitted a door out with the jig. Looks good! Thanks for your help. All the best, Ronnie

[@freddieleethompson3536]

Found this video last night. Made one today and it worked a treat! 11 latches to do. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@paulduckron8157]

Thank you so much, God bless you,brother

[@Kizzy7388]

Going to make one of these tomorrow mate. Thank you!!!

[@NigelThompson-h9i]

Hey Phil thanks for that. Can you show us how you would make a keep jig to fit UK regular casings with rebate for door. Thanks in advance

[@paulyoull5472]

Phil, I made one of these last weekend as I had 8 1930’s oak doors to fit during the week. It worked very well and saved a lot of time. I didn’t have the doors with me when I was making it to get an exact measurement of width so just went with 35mm. It ended up about 1.5mm off centre but I can definitely live with that. I have a souber for mortise locks and could have set that up but making the jig is far quicker. Cheers pal👍🏻

[@pacoclbhs]

You’re awesome for that! Thank you!

[@abdultahir9227]

Simple but wanderfull teacher, thanks for sharing.

[@brettsmith884]

Can you do a video on how you made the receiver side or let me know how ?

[@nicksmallwood5690]

Nice one Phil 👍

[@bigben8865]

Mate this is perfect 🤙

[@dmartin1650]

7 doors to fit... I swear YT recommendations can read my mind 😆 Great idea... thx and keep them coming 👍

[@p3tkov]

Great video !

[@Rainman270]

Thanks for the video, but when cutting on the table saw, push the piece through that is in between the fence and blade, the cutoff is of secondary importance and if pushing that part of the piece through, there is potential for kickback.

[@marcussmith289]

Great video thanks mate

[@garycole3919]

great video

[@paulyoull5472]

Never get round to making a jig but I have a lot of oak doors to fit this month so think it’s time. I too use the trend hinge jig so the fact your jig marries up with the same cutter etc makes it even more appealing. Cheers mate

[@paulyoull5472]

Phil, nice quick clamp. Do you have a link ?

[@chrisrowbothan3531]

Does this work ok if you put a leading edge on the door?

[@stevestarkey5293]

I keep thinking making jigs but then can't be arsed till next door job then wish I had lol

[@jarnailsingh9447]

Very nice thanks

[@DewaltFanboy]

awesome! will definitely use this method next time i got a bunch of doors to mill out. Been looking for a quick and easy way to make these jigs.

[@adamandlorraine]

Is there any fancy way of getting the centre marked for the 25mm spade bit for the latch mortice hole? Or just line up with the centre marks 'crosshair' on the jig face.

[@PhilEdwardsCarpenter]

When I chop the corners of the faceplate, I insert the faceplate and centre drill the holes for the screws. While it's in place I draw the outline of the square latch hole and that's my guide for the 25mm bit 👍

[@TheHarrogateHandywoman]

Brilliant video, thank you for sharing 👍

[@jezza42]

Great video, thanks for sharing 👍 What clamp is it you use to clamp it to the door?

[@reaper060670]

Iove these jigs pal.. Did u ever build a jig for putting handles and locks on inside doors?? That's defo one I need to work on. Brilliant video mate but I wish this was a little longer..

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Excellent jig! Thanks for sharing.👍

[@stamatisilviu4372]

Hi,can you make a router jig for a rounded lock plate?

[@jrsuk1170]

I like it Phil👍 I use the sauber lock jig, which is great but has a lot of components plus it's another box to carry in and needs a big rpm drill to be any good. I will try this.

[@PhilEdwardsCarpenter]

I have always been put off by people using the sauber to cut faceplates, seems tricky! But for sashlocks I can see the sauber being a lifesaver

[@jrsuk1170]

@@PhilEdwardsCarpenter The face plates are easy, you just need the right sized cutter for the width. You've also got to release when you tighten the jig it lifts slightly so you have to allow for it. On a full house of doors it's great, very fast but a lot of faff to get used to. It's not worth setting up for just a couple of doors. It is a no brainer on sashlocks.

[@pasla101]

Hi phil Remember watching your first vid , congrats on bringing your channel on , well done , Good simple but effective jig which works, also shows your out there on site trying to make a living and not sat in a studio or workshop, Look forward to your next vid !!

[@markhoulding1938]

Nice clear explanation 👍

[@simonlunt353]

I am a joiner myself and have used jigs for Many years now yes they take a little time to make but they are worth it and a lot cheaper than buying them 🤣 but I have to say that the older joiner’s like my dad used to hang 20 doors a day with no jigs l don’t condemn jigs l think they are great but we must not forget the old ways great video sir stay safe 👍

[@PhilEdwardsCarpenter]

Absolutely, jigs can save time and gain money. Unfortunately back when your father was on the tools there was quality materials and craftsmen who actually cared about the craft. Rather than what we are exposed to nowadays 😅

[@robt7165]

I'm gonna make one of those

[@jasonbrown9783]

Great clip

[@jamesgreen4080]

Simple but effective.

[@renwickfonceca7552]

What if Ur door thickness is different every time

[@polekbela176]

Are you going to make more vlogs from site in the future ??

[@robisl5507]

nice one

[@stuartgooda5258]

Nice one

[@TheLeeattwood]

It would take a lot more than a jig to make me look smart 😂

[@gheorghegicu]

This is what im talking about

[@bucktaylor9178]

That’s a nice jig. But if the door has a 2 degree bevel it’s not going to sit perfectly on the door.

[@jonnygunner65]

What’s a cu-er?

[@flyingjackcarpentry9394]

Keep meaning to make more jigs but always seemed like too much buggering about.

[@barneyrubble2828]

might like this if i knew what language you were speaking.

[@greatestever6372]

A chisel and mallet is much quicker and easier

[@RMMaryport]

For a 25mm faceplate i wouldnt bother

[@KenDavies-z4m]

Great video
