Nice jig seeing this I think I'm going to make the fence bigger and drill a hole for the handle spindle.

@liamcowan4114 2 года назад

That's awesome. A nice little trick iv found with drilling the hole after the housing is routered out is to join a line from each corner to create a cross which always gets you bang centre of the housing. Great work mate 👍

@thetallcarpenter 2 года назад

Super simple little jig there, and produced a great result🤩You could always cut another small bit of ply the same size as the faceplate, drill a small pilot hole in the centre of it, put a screw in it so it just sticks out enough to mark the timber in your faceplate housing, and use it as a drop in insert for marking where the latch body is to be drilled👊(you can then use the screw head to pull it back out)

@BradshawJoinery 2 года назад

Cheers mate, Yeah good shout, Someone else commented saying draw a quick cross from corner to corner to get centre which is so simple its hilarious.

@Miginyon Месяц назад

When you make the jig use a fifth piece and stick it loose in the hole. Mark it up for centre and either drill a pilot hole or core out as you will for the latch mechanism. That way you have a piece you can take in and out. Router out for the face, stick the piece in and use it as a guide for the drilling. Also if you take out the full size then it should be enough thickness to also set up you up for drilling straight.

Thanks to your videos i was able to successfully replace 9 doors in my home by creating the Hinge jig and the latch jig along with a handle jig. The bathroom locks i have installed seem a little stiff but i am still finessing them. Think i basically don't have them lined up completely plum. I had fun doing it the doors. It may have taken me a long time but I now have greater knowledge. 🙂

@messi8921 11 месяцев назад

When I supply hardware for customers I only supply latches with 25mm rounded face plates. I’ll mark the door and use a 25mm straight cutter. There’s no squaring up corners or anything, no making jigs. It’s so much easier.

@paulyoull5472 Год назад

I’ve had similar jigs for a while but when making them, I’ve added an additional 2mm either side for the cutter. I too have the longer support with guide hole for spindle location. The only down point is when customers buy the latch’s themselves which often means making a new jig😂

@BradshawJoinery Год назад

Nice one Paul, its a cracking little method for making the jigs

@tombowen6430 Год назад

Bit of a palaver - not hard to rout by eye after scoring round the plate with a Stanley knife - then very easy to finish with a sharp chisel. I did seven in about an hour. Perfectly.

@BradshawJoinery Год назад

It is and it isn't. I make these all the while now and you could probably make the jig and rout 20.im an hour, more accurately, and risk free than by eye/ hand work and marking out. 👍 I've just done a comparison between hand chiselling and making a jig, to chop in hinges on a door and it's eye opening!

@beckjumper5787 2 года назад

I do like the look of that, I fit a lot of oak veneer doors so always looking for a way to speed things up. My process currently is drill the 25mm hole, then the spindle hole, pop the latch in, pilot hole the screws and screw latch in, then mark around with Stanley, take latch out and chop in, usually takes me 7mins for latch, keep and set of handles start to finish. I do like the look of the jig but just makes me carry the router, jig and clamps from door to door, so probably give this one a miss. Unless I’m ever on day rate lol

@beckjumper5787 2 года назад

@@simonreekie1873 agree jig tech is great but they cost me £10 more per door and it only saves me two minutes per door so rather make the extra money.

@BradshawJoinery 2 года назад

If i were you, id look at making a set of jigs that suit the hinges you use, the latch and keep. Alter the faceplate thickness of the different jigs so you can your them all with one setting on the router(ie thinner faceplate on the hinges than the latch keep as i assume they have a deeper recess.) You'd be worthwhile carrying the router then and unbeatable in speed. The keep would be the pre defined offset from the latch to have the door sitting exactly in the right place...Same process for making a jig for the keep just have one side of it open to rout the front side.

@jimbartley9125 2 года назад

Very neat. Just made your hinge jig. 14 doors to hang! This is the next jig I will be doing. Thanks for the nice clear instructions. Any advice about lining up new doors to old frames that already have hinges cut in? Cheers Jim

@BradshawJoinery 2 года назад

Push the door in and plane so the margin is neat all the way round. Check new hinges are same or bigger than old hinges if not splice a piece of timber in alot bigger than the hinge housing(so your it left with a very short piece of grain to cut hinge into) Then wedge updoor with packer at top as margin and mark hinge positions. Cut into door then reposition door and mark hinge position on frame.

Rip a piece down the width of the ends, then a piece longer than the plate... Glue the end pieces to the long one using the latch as length guide then glue 2 further pieces on around the front of the latch plate. Them last 2 pieces will need the corners chisselingoff to accommodate the round on the latch. Basically principle is just glue timber around the latch you are chopping in. 👍
