Installing a half-mortise lock by hand is not only time-consuming, but tricky to get just right. When faced with teaching a woodworking class that required 10 students to install three locks each, Mike Pekovich knew there had to a better way. Mike created three simple jigs that make the installation process fast and easy. The first jig is used to drill out the keyhole, and two other jigs are used to rout out the lock body and lock plate mortises. In this short video, Mike demonstrates how to use the jigs, and in the process, shows viewers just how fast and easy it is. Mike will be a featured presenter at Fine Woodworking Live 2019, at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center in Southbridge, Mass., the weekend of April 26-28.
