The Ultimate Door Latch Mortiser

Stop struggling with crooked latch plates and messy chisel marks. This all-in-one tool combines scoring, chiseling, and screw-driving to help you install door latches faster and more precisely than ever.

All-in-One Tool Precision Scoring Built-in Storage

Fits Most Door Latches & Ensures Clean Cuts

Say goodbye to measuring tape errors. The built-in scoring blades create accurate guide lines for both round and square strike plates. Simply select the blade shape that matches your latch plate to ensure a perfect fit every time.

The adjustable 90° fence allows this tool to accommodate standard door thicknesses of 1-3/8" and 1-3/4", making it versatile for almost any interior or exterior wooden door in your home.

How It Works: From Marking to Installation

Designed for efficiency, this jig simplifies the entire installation process into easy steps:

  • Step 1: Switch Blades. Choose between round or square scoring blades based on your latch type.
  • Step 2: Set Depth. Adjust the fence to match your door's thickness.
  • Step 3: Score & Chisel. Tap the guide post to mark the wood, then use the integrated chisel to remove material cleanly.
  • Step 4: Install. Use the included bits to screw the latch plate securely into place.

All-in-One Design with Smart Storage

Why carry multiple tools when one does it all? This compact mortiser features a hollow handle design that acts as a storage unit for its accessories. The Phillips and slotted bits are always right where you need them, preventing loss and saving space in your toolbox.

The lightweight, ergonomic frame ensures comfortable handling during repetitive tasks, while the high-visibility color makes it easy to spot on a cluttered workbench.
