Default fitting multi point lock in new wooden door

Fitted a pair of multipoints on double doors.


which ones did you use and where did you get 'em please?

Rather more time-
consuming than conventional locks. A little more effort to get all the
hooks and bolts to engage smoothly.

Most of the fitting effort is routing out grooves for the metal strip,


What sort of dimensions are we talking about here??

and morticing recesses for each hook or bolt mechanism.


With a router or chisel & mallet?

If you're making your own door, it's much easier to cut the style to
fit the mechanism before assembling the door.


Mmmm yeah - I was imagining clamping some 4X4s or similar each side of
the lock stile (on a ready made door) to give the router something
wider to run on - do you think that would work out OK?

thanks again
