Luckyway Door Lock Installation Kit Mortising Machine Mortise Jig, Door Lock Hole Opener Kit, Lock Mortiser with 3 Drill Bits for Wooden Doors

This jig works great to mortise locks as a budget friendly option to the more expensive brands. Durable and the case keeps the parts together

Tried to hire a “door person” to come install this complicated Mortise pocket door lock from Rejuvenation, but no one would return my call. Bought this tool and also a Dewalt compact plunge router and together had no issues installing this lock. Probably would’ve spent more hiring someone to install this lock than the tools cost, and now I have these tools to keep. Definitely took my time and went slow. I also bought a 2” x 6” x 8’ Doug fir board and mounted it (vertically) outside the house first to use it as my “test door” and it worked good on that so I moved on to the door inside the house. Lots of sawdust!

This is actually the second of two very similar "door opener" mortise jigs I got on Amazon. This is by far the better of the two, and at about $100 it's a pretty good deal. When using it, it seems that it is best to remove material on a downward pass, and the faster your drill goes the better! However! I strongly recommend purchasing a few extra and replacement items. For example, the shaft collar that limits the depth of the mortise likes to slide and mar the shaft (ruining both the shaft and the work piece). After some trail and error I found that 15mm shaft collars with a single clamping screw work quite nicely (see pictures). I got a set of 4 for another $10 or so right here on Amazon. Next thing is that the smallest bit that comes with this is 18mm wide. Since the lockset I was installing was only 14mm wide I thought this was an excessive amount of wood to remove. These bits have an M10 thread on them and if you search M10x16mm bit you can find a 16mm version of the these bits on Amazon. Only downfall is that they take about two weeks to arrive. Finally, since the lockset is square, and a round bit can only make a round hole, you'll need to chisel out the corners. For this, I also got a 16mm chisel. The set comes with an 18mm chisel.

This is a great cost effective tool for the DIY. The tool worked great to open the mortise lock opening and cross drilled handle holes as well as striker plate openings. Highly recommend it. Fast service and fair pricing. I especially liked the way the tool clamped on the door, and the ease of setting up slide stops and depth of cut.

Exelente

Cheaply made and arrived looking used. I tested it, and it performed very poorly. It chipped the wood around the drill bit, and the drill bits themselves weren’t sharp enough to make clean cuts. Overall, the quality is disappointing. I would not recommend buying this product.

This product worked like a charm. You do have to take it slow but it will be no problem if you’re careful. We used it to finish three 100 year-old doors and three modern replicas. All doors are 1 and 3/8 inches thick but they’re still works great.

I used this on really soft pine and still got a clean cut.

Me gusto mucho, ayuda muchísimo para hacer los cortes perfectos y rápidos. muy buena calidad y precio.

When i unboxed it, case was dirty with something stink. Inside of the case. package with extra parts were opened. no ruler.

its not that stable during cutting but it works well.

Product came but had already been opened. Missing a cutter and probably other things also. Loose hardware in case.

Calidad para nuestra instalación!!!
