One template, a guided cut: this mortise template guides your router or drill to a precise latch plate recess

-
Fits the door you're working on: the adjustable structure matches common latch plates and different wood door thicknesses
-
Works with the tools you own: compatible with most common routers and power drills for straightforward door installation
-
Everything you need in one kit: a complete mortising kit gives DIYers and professionals the tools for smooth, accurate cuts
Cutting a latch plate recess by hand is easy to get wrong, a hair off and the door won't close flush, or the strike plate never lines up right. This door hardware jig clamps a mortise template right where you need it, so your router or drill follows a guide instead of a freehand line. It's built for cutting the latch plate recess itself, not for jamb strike plates, doorknob holes or bore drilling, so every cut stays exactly where the template puts it.
