Phenolic Lock Jig
This lock jig is engineered from solid grade, high-performance premium phenolic known for its exceptional strength, stability and warp resistance – as well as being totally water and liquid resistant. Budget jigs made from laminated composite can warp and lose stability due to moisture absorption and temperature change leading to inaccurate cuts. The extremely durable, anti-friction phenolic allows your router to glide smoothly through the cut without snagging. Inferior jigs made from less durable composite material can wear over time leading to imperfections in the surface and inaccurate cuts.
The uniquely designed phenolic lock jig is the perfect tool for quick and precise lock fitting. With a fully adjustable aperture it can be used to rout mortice and faceplate recesses with a range of lengths – up to 175mm. The 4 interchangeable templates enable use with lock widths of 16mm and 19mm and faceplate widths of 25.4mm and 22.5mm. The template keyhole slots ensure quick and easy template changing. Durable and adjustable aluminium fixing plates attached to the body ensure your jig can be firmly secured to doors with a wide range of thicknesses up to 58mm (commercial FD60 fire door thickness is 54mm).
Precision CNC machine cut with +/- 0.02mm accuracy it will ensure you achieve precise measurements and square lock apertures every time. Laser-engraved labels and markings make measuring and setting up especially easy. The engravings are cut into the phenolic surface meaning they will not wear under constant friction from the router – providing long lasting clarity. A comprehensive user manual is also included. To use this jig you will need a ½” hand router, router bit (diameter: 12.7mm, height: 63.5mm – straight with end cutting), 16mm guide bush, clamps and a Philips screwdriver.
