How to Fit a 5 Lever Mortice Deadlock

3 жыл бұрын

In today's video I will be showing you how I've just installed a 5 lever mortice deadbolt on my garden shed door.
The mortice deadbolt was to replace the old fashioned rim lock that had been on the door previously but stopped working several months ago. With a few tools and the right preparation any of us DIYers can carry out an installation like this!

Thanks so much Steve. The problem I find with experts (and how many times have you got angry with an instruction manual that just doesn't properly explain how to do something) is that they often can't explain something from the mindset of someone who's not an expert, and that is maybe where I bridge the gap. Bottom line, I just love explaining how to do stuff, littering it with the mistakes I've made along the way 😉

By the way, if you're extending your WiFi, you HAVE TO use UniFi, either their AP AC Pro or the Lite version. It's perfect for what you're doing as it relies on hard wired connections, but seemlessly extends wifi. I've got two of them in the house and one in the shed at the bottom of the garden!

@@CharlieDIYte Thanks for prompt reply Charlie. I am re-assured. As this is a replacement door, it would be easier to keep the mortice in the same place to match the lock plate in the old frame. This will encroach upon the tenon. If I can move it slightly, I will.

Neat job. But ...1) Why are you taking the door off? You're just making work. Wedge the bottom of the door. 2) It's a mortice, not a rebate. 3) Clamp some spare bits of timber at each side of the door, when you're chiselling out for the face plate (if you haven't got a palm router handy, which most won't haven't) otherwise you risk the cut bursting out the face of the door.
