About the Lock Strike Jig
The Reptile Jigs Lock Strike Jig is a professional-grade tool designed to simplify the precise installation of locks and striking plates in doors. With its adjustable features and meticulous indicators, this jig ensures accurate and seamless results for doors of various thicknesses.
This jig is specifically designed to accommodate doors with thicknesses of 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, and 55mm. It comes complete with four high-quality plates that can be obtained from our shop. These plates are carefully crafted in two pairs: one pair for the lock side within the door, and the other pair for the striking plate side within the door lining.
Each plate features clear and precise indicators, providing guidance for the correct depths of the router plunge cut. The plates also include reference numbers and essential information related to part 1 or part 2. With this jig, you can achieve consistent and professional results, even when working with different door thicknesses.
