How to install a Mortise Mortice Lock and handles 

I've always wanted Steve Coogan to tell me how to use a chisel 😊

That’s how I learnt while doing my course, which is good,, but now I do it my way which I prefer. Experience and sharp chisels make perfection. 👍

Thank you Michael. Fabulous to watch a craftsman at work with all the tips and wrinkles. Let's see how it turns out when the apprentice has a go!

100% Professional Clean work. Amazing results. That's what I like to see. You're a genius. Thanks for the video.

Very nice video tutorial, I had to change my bathroom lock from a tubular latch to a mortice lock with privacy handles. Let's just say it was a learning experience, especially using a chisel for the first time. I was definitely heavy-handed with it, lol. I will definitely learn from it and follow your example nextime.Many thanks 😊

nice work ! after doing a home reno , i can say that this was probably my greatest nemesis ... its not as easy as it looks !

Great video, who knew this is what Alan Partridge moved onto after his career in TV and Radio?

Steve Coogan!

Excellent, clear and impressive video. This chap is a real craftsman, I wish he would be the guiding light for all tradesfolk. Well done Michael. I enjoyed this.

I'm a woman that likes to try my hand at things. This has being easy and assessable. Guy's a legend "keep the kids from hiding inside or doing naughty things" 😆

Thanks . Well filmed & described.

A true Pro! Great Info for key shaft line up and especially for me on how to get the perfect depth of the latch to stop door rattle when closed...Thanks for sharing your years of experience!

Thanks for a great educational video🙏

Great job you made it look easy, now I'm not so afraid to try!

A great demonstration.

A brilliant demonstration. Thank you.

Gray explanation thank you mate

Nice job and thanks for uploading, it's so much easier having sharp chisels.

Excellent tutorial.... Does exactly what it says in the title👍

Beautiful work!

Thank you for this video. The demonstration and guidance has helped me to successfully fit my mortice lock.

Really helpful thank you very much!

Top class video.. thanks.

ty just did it

You forget to mention that it takes a lot longer with two 5 yr olds and a dog barking at every knock of the hammer , LOL......... 4 hours later got the job done . " GREAT VID " mate . Cheers

Good work 💪.

Great work 👍

You speak like Marco Pierre White. With confidence and like a man who has been doing this for a thousand years. Very reassuring in your directions and wisdom given. Thanks a million!

Great. This is going to help me fix my locks

Super excellent info So nice video clip Great Joo London Uk 🇬🇧

Shukran - many thanks Salwan. If you want to know how a bathroom should be tiled or to tile it yourself then watch the whole video including the classroom setting out session. The 'setting out' section will tell you what to think of in advance of laying your first tile to start. Once you make the considerations talked about - you will start in the right place - which is vitally important. The 1/4 progressing tile bond is also great for hiding cuts in a small room and folding tiles around corners, which always looks best. Our most watched video is the How to professional Silicon which deliberately is shown messy - so that anyone will realise they can do perfect silicon. Please give us a like and share with your friends and subscribe. I made these videos as an advert for my inventions - The Studhawk Saw Guide Set which is not only for diy'ers but is a new accurate cutting instrument that is amazingly accurate. I also use it to make the shoulders for the half housing on the door frame you watched. If you want to cut skirting boards mitres - then clamp a 2 x 2 block onto the back of the skirting to create a running rail for the Studhawk to cut those deep mitres ( a pencil line will help to saw to ) It is my belief that anyone can learn to do this with the right know how. Many thanks Michael Orwin - Inventor and the guy in the videos!

Great job Thanks

Nice work 🏆

Good job

Great 👌☺️ I thought I try it out

Great tips.

6:02 Even youtube generated subtitles think that this deserves applause.

That was pretty gangster how you just walked away without vacuuming up that wood mess

Nice and neat work , excellent

There are special tools for this. You can have it done in 5mins and very precise.

He makes it look simple. Make no mistake most people will not get this done they will completely bollock it up. People who do this as a profession have a feel for it. You not going to get it done so easily. He should mention get a very good chisel, because a cheap chisel will never get a good job done.

Good video. First part the sound is bad and would have been better with a voiceover, but thanks for sharing as it reminded me how to fit these.

just Awesome!

fantastic, thank you

Great video - small negative is that the sound was too echoey. A bit jealous that you are so quick and accurate with the chiselling - I have to use a router.

Apologies for some sound issues in the How To Fit A Mortise Lock and Handles but our videos are not Hollywood productions by any means. Watch the whole video and you will get what was muffled the first time. The principles of chiselling are repeated throughout the video. Thanks for watching

Is this Warwick Davis's house?

Thank you I will give this a try 🔑

Superb

Thanks, I wasn't too sure about that, I managed to place the locking part into a pre-existing hole of an old door,but made a complete mess of the frame trying to fit the strike plate. Now I know "How to"..... all I have to do is cut out a messed up piece of wood on the frame, somehow plug the gap and try again. If only I had seen this first (****).

You made it look easy. How long did it take you to do? I tried using a regular drill bit that was 2mm too narrow and postponed it for another day because it took too long for me.

two screws hold it for scribing round it.

How did you reverse the latch?

“Lovely stuff”

Ca you cut the main lock hole with a router?

Back of the net !

Good vid. However I can't help but think, a gold latch and silver handle just shouldn't be put together

Or just use a souber lock jig, takes 1/4 of the time.

When I do my wooden work then my cutting is not well😞😞😞

I thought the handle and lock was way too low, then saw at the end it was a cupboard 😀

You made one fundamental mistake., when marking keyhole - you should have brought markings 1mm back, to allow for depth of plate., in my opinion.

Pro

How many keys come with a standard mortice lock, anyone????

Faceplates meaning a metal cast to put around the busted shit

This guy makes the chiseling look easy, but that's only because he's using cheap, new construction wood. I have a 104 year old, solid hard-wood door, that wood is (literally) hard-as-nails.

It's no wonder tradesmen want £150 to this seems like a lot of work.

'Trade expert Michael'...really? Can anyone let me know what all the marking out was for on the front face of the door please?

Can't tell what he is saying

horrible audio recording

Finally found a video but unfortunately British accents

Good work 💪.
