Product Details

The Bevis Precision Door Latch Mortise Tool is designed to help you create a clean, flush recess for door latch plates without slow, uneven hand chiseling.

 

Built with a guided positioning head, outline blade, mortise blade, and 90° fence, it helps center the cut around the latch hole and remove material from the door edge for a smooth, professional-looking latch fit.

 

Product Highlights:

  • Creates a clean recess for standard door latch plates
  • Helps reduce measuring, tracing, and guesswork
  • Built-in guide head helps keep the tool centered
  • Outline blade scores the latch plate shape
  • Mortise blade removes wood inside the outline
  • 90° fence helps keep the tool aligned on the door edge
  • Designed for common 1-3/8 in. and 1-3/4 in. thick wooden doors
  • Ideal for door lock installation, latch replacement, and DIY home repair

Package Includes:

1 × Door Latch Mortise Tool

How It Works

Insert the guide head into the latch hole, keep the tool square against the door edge, gently strike the tool to score the outline, then use the mortise blade to remove the wood inside the marked area.

Questions Before You Start?

Will this work with my door?

This tool is designed for common 1-3/8 in. and 1-3/4 in. thick wooden doors. It works best on standard interior wooden doors, solid wood doors, and most wood-composite doors.

Do I still need to drill the latch hole first?

Yes. This tool is used after the latch hole has already been drilled. It helps cut the recessed area for the latch faceplate so the plate can sit flush with the door edge.

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

The clamp set supports workpieces up to approximately 3.5 inches thick, depending on how the clamp is positioned.

 

Please check the product images for detailed sizing before ordering.

Will it work for both left-handed and right-handed doors?

Set your router depth before cutting and make multiple shallow passes instead of one deep cut. We recommend testing the depth on scrap wood first to confirm the hinge sits flush before routing your door.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are usually processed within 1–3 business days.

 

Estimated delivery time is typically 6–10 business days after shipment, depending on your location. Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking email.
