Thank you for this video. Wonderful to see that you squared up the hole drilled for the strike plate, and talked about filling and painting it later to give a tidy appearance. So many other how-to videos omit this reference. Having worked 25+ years in interiors, I've come to recognize that is one on my pet peeves with carpenters installing lock sets - leaving the strike plate box looking untidy and unfinished!

Thankyou ! I've tried your method and it works !! A chisel is cheaper than a router !!! ☺☺☺

Scribing round the catch plate with a Stanley knife is far more accurate than using a pencil. The quickest way possible is to make an MDF template and route them. Same for the latch itself.

The first thing I do is drill the holes that receive the latch first. I use two smaller spade bits to make an oval so as to remove the least amount of wood necessary. I test it gradually until just enough is removed, then move on to the mortise for the strike plate. More material can always be chiseled out later for adjustment after the strike plate is secured. It's much stronger the less wood that is removed. You can test for latch contact by applying thinned down bright paint or cheap lipstick from the dollar store.

Proper way is to make a series of chisel cuts across the grain and not to take it out in one piece that way you don’t have a chance of splitting out the recess

I wouldn't rely on the shaded pencil mark all the time. I always close the door and mark where the latch hits the lining, and use a combination square for setting the latch cut out

Do you have a tutorial video illustrating what you're saying? I always find it frustrating when people comment better ways to do the job but don't have a tutorial video demonstrating their process for visual learners and a beginner skill level.

@jonnybegood4848 3 жыл бұрын

Clear description but the final adjustment with the latch plate should have been included (tab with slot allowing for screwdriver to pull it forward and move door towards stop & thus less play).

an easier way is to use lip stick and hold down the handle close the door and release. pull the handle back down and open the door. you now have an exact mark.

Be very careful when doing this on a painted door jamb. I will usually use a laminate trim router for these to stop the paint cracking. Also, I measure from the door stop to the centre of the door and mark a centre line and line the 2 screw holes up on that line.

Thank you for this video! The contractor who remodeled both of my bathrooms installed a pocket door with the round lock but not the latch plate. I am an able senior woman with no construction experience and basic tools. I can’t find anyone to do this small of a job, so I’m going to DIY. I especially appreciate your thorough explanation of the tools needed as all I have is the drill, screwdriver and pencil. Now I know what to buy that won’t cost me the price of a specialized electric saw. I really think I can do this and hope I line up the latch properly because it’s a sliding door.

Independent opinion here: Some know-it-all USA citizens will probably crop up here trying to peddle their brand labeled Chinese products and claiming they know a better way. I'm not English, I am a USA citizen: when it comes to woodworking, I'm hitting the mute button on English Americans and siding with the British because Americans will only copy everything that was invented long before their country existed, then turn around and claim they came up with the idea.
