Description
Door latch mortise installation tool kit
Latch pockets that look like a pro cut them
Slot the guide head into the latch hole, tap with a hammer, and get a crisp, accurate latch outline without measuring, marking or an afternoon with a chisel. Door hardware goes in flush and neat, first time.
Faster than a chisel
Turn a dreaded job into a quick one
Hand-chiseling a latch pocket means careful marking, patient tapping and splintered edges. This tool does the outlining for you: the contour blade positions itself, so every cut lands where the latch plate needs it.
Buyers agree: "Honestly, just buy it. It beats using a chisel and hammer for two hours straight."
Flush and neat
Hardware that sits exactly where it should
A clean, accurate pocket means the latch plate drops in flush with the door edge, with no gaps to fill and no rework. As one buyer says: "Way better than the eyeballing it method. My doors look like they were installed by a pro."
Another: "Seriously saved my weekend. I had four doors to do and this made the mortising part a total breeze."
How it works
Three quick steps
Seat the guide head
The guide head slots into the 1-inch latch hole in the door edge and holds the tool square.
Let the blade align
The contour blade positions itself for an accurate cut, so there is no measuring.
Tap and fit
Tap with a hammer to cut the latch outline, clear the wood and drop the latch plate in flush.
Built to be hammered
Tough body, sharp stainless steel blades
The shock-resistant ABS body takes the force of a hammer, and the stainless steel contour and mortise blades stay sharp through door after door. It suits beginners and working carpenters alike, whether you are hanging a new door or replacing an old latch.
