Reptile Jigs Lock Jig

The Reptile Jigs Lock 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.

The Reptile Jigs Lock 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.

When using the Reptile Jigs Lock Jig, it is recommended to secure the jig to the door or lining using a couple of 15mm screws. Additionally, to ensure a clean and unobtrusive installation, the jig is equipped with optional attachments that allow you to clamp the jig to the door, eliminating visible screw holes. This feature is particularly useful when the door will be painted, providing a seamless and professional finish.

The Reptile Jigs Lock Jig also comes with some extras available from our shop, including a plunge router guide block. This accessory enables users to easily and accurately set the router to the desired depths, ensuring precise and consistent cuts during the installation process.

Using the jig is straightforward. Simply attach it to the door or lining and insert the appropriate plate. Utilizing a router, accurately cut out the precise areas indicated by the plate. Repeat the process for part 2 of the plates, ensuring a perfect fit for both the door and the door lining. In some cases, a chisel may be necessary to square off any internal corners left by the router. However, part 2 of the plates are expertly designed to minimize the need for chiseling, providing a clean and professional finish without additional effort.

When ordering the plates, the process is both intuitive and efficient. Simply provide measurements of the locks and striking plates, following our online form's visual aids, diagrams, and images. This ensures accurate measurements and a seamless ordering experience. The plates are affordably priced at just £15 per lock set, which includes four plates.
