Customer Reviews for VEVOR 5 Minute Morticer JIG1 Door Lock Mortiser Kit Lock Fitting Jig Door Lock Mortiser Kit with 3 Cutters 18 22 25mm

Not sure how Vevor can knock these out for such a low price. The kit is well put together and for mere mortals that cannot afford a Souber this is a great alternative.

Having installed a bathroom mortice lock by drilling and chiselling out the cavity, I thought there has to be an easier way and this is it. It's almost effort less and the results are so much better than that of a ham fisted DIY'er. This is probably my favourite purchase, I've used it three times now and although it's packed away in it's neat little box I'll keep it handy for the next door installation.

I had 18 doors to hang, each with a mortised lock. This sturdy little gadget saved many, many hours of time. A mortise can be prepared in 3-4 minutes as opposed to a ling time with a chisel. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this item; there are lots of other uses for it too.

I like the idea of it hopefully it'll work well

Surprisingly good in every regard. Good quality and very robust , I hung a dozen pine doors using this item for the latches/locks in half the time I would doing it old school. By far the cheapest price I've seen for this kit.

Great tool for fitting locks accuratly andcQuickly

Brilliant! Already use to fit 3 locks; Just remember to tighten everything first! Kit arrived in good time and in great condition, so thanks guys. Only suggestion is to make slides run smoother to avoid "sticky points" that cause jerking on up/down motion. Other than that, great piece of kit!

Obviously a copy of the Souber tool, this is not self centering but is the offset version. More verstaile but it does take a little longer to set it up. Once set, it works very well.

This jig is brilliant and it saves me a hell of a lot of time on doors

It's fine as far as it goes. The cutters supplied are too big for most locks. They are an M10 thread and you would think that any similar mortiser would make their cutters with an M10 thread so I bought a 16mm dia cutter from Souber. But although the Souber mortiser looks virtually identical, it uses some sort of medieval thread of about 7.5mm. And I don't seem to be able to get hold of a 16mm dia cutter with an M10 thread.I shall probably find a suitable rod the same diameter as on my original mortiser and ask a friend with a workshop to run a tap of this medieval thread down into its end. If the Chinese company which made this advertised 16mm cutters, I would buy one but I can't find whether they do.Buy it if you are happy with oversized slots but you may have problems getting replacement cutters.
