Strike and Latch Template

Quick Overview

The installation of doorknobs is easy with this strike and latch template. No longer will you have to use a chisel to cut mortises for strike and latch plates. With this template kit, any 1/4-inch collet router can be used with the included bit to cut mortises. Simply mark the plate locations on the door and jamb, tack the template in place with the included brads, and route a perfect mortise every time. When using square-cornered plates, a chisel will be needed for squaring off the corners of the mortise.
