How to Fit a 5 Lever Mortice Deadlock
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 22. 08. 2024
- In today's video I will be showing you how I've just installed a 5 lever mortice deadbolt on my garden shed door.
The mortice deadbolt was to replace the old fashioned rim lock that had been on the door previously but stopped working several months ago. With a few tools and the right preparation any of us DIYers can carry out an installation like this!

This chap is always worth watching even if your not planning on doing any of these projects, straight to the point clear and concise no waffle, good job.
Thanks Andrew, I really appreciate that đ
best mortice lock installation video on youtube. encouraged me to sort out locks for my new workshop door.
Thanks mate, appreciate that. The one thing I did wrong was putting that escutcheon on the outside. Should have been on the inside really. đ
Thanks Charlie. Iâve been a follower for a while now and love the way you explain things so simply....just so happens I have this exact job to do!
Thanks Rian. I really appreciate your support of my channel. Good luck with the install and drop me a line by email if you have any queries đ
You won't be disappointed with the lock either, quality. Have one myself and never let me down.
Well done with the fit as well, can go wrong very quickly doing this.
Thanks Paul. Yes I've never fitted a Union before but am very impressed with the quality đ
Big up from Scotland
Power watched over 80 percent of all your videos while taking a break from decorating. Been the local DIY shop 3 time's after watching your videos. Very good and helpful videos. Thanks
Thanks so much buddy, I really appreciate that. Sorry about the early videos though with the cheesy music in the background đ±
This prob best I've ever seen when fitting mortice I usually done it whilst the door is standing but that was cool to take the door off and then securing using own made wedge stand.
Excellent man
Thanks buddy! You can do either, to be honest, but if you can be bothered to take the door off, it makes the whole job easier.
Great explanation and useful tips, thank you. Fitting a lock is one of those jobs that seems simple but there are plenty of pitfalls.
Thanks for the comment, Ben. Yes there can be, but the instructions that come with the lock are pretty comprehensive and provided you plan carefully and take your time, you'll do a great job đ
Another great video given me some confidence for a small project I'm working on.
Full of useful tips and tricks and not a straight forward job with the old screws etc. Excellent video as ever.
Thanks. Yes, I tried to get that screw out by grinding a new slot head onto it, but it just sheared off when I tried to turn it. đ
@@CharlieDIYte I have a set of screw removal adaptors from Irwin that may have worked but probably not if the shank just snaps. They are handy items to have for not much money. You can also get ones from Irwin for bolts.
I like your videos. I think what I like the most is that you don't profess to be an expert and you just focus on explaining your knowledge to DIY ers which from the replies people seem grateful of.
Thanks so much Steve. The problem I find with experts (and how many times have you got angry with an instruction manual that just doesn't properly explain how to do something) is that they often can't explain something from the mindset of someone who's not an expert, and that is maybe where I bridge the gap. Bottom line, I just love explaining how to do stuff, littering it with the mistakes I've made along the way đ
Timing could not better, something that needs to be done at home this weekend, and you have just answered that.
Good to hear that, Paul. Don't forget you can get sash lock versions if you're thinking of incorporating a knob, but I was pretty pleased with this Union version. A quality bit of kit. Good luck with the install and drop me a line if you've got any questions đ
Excellent. This is a problem that's been perplexing me for a project in the near future. Great stuff.
You're very welcome, thanks for the comment đ
With brass screws, I like to drive the holes first with steel screws, then take it out and fit the brass ones. In Aussie hardwood the brass screws usually snap.
Nice mortising đ
That's a great tip, Peter. Thanks for the comment đ
Best DIY CZcamsr hands down... Keep up the great work Charlie đ
That's incredibly kind, Jonathan. It can be a bit of a roller coaster doing this and so I can't tell you how much I appreciate comments like this. They really are the life blood of the channel đ
You made that look straightforward, very helpful video.
Cheers, James, and thanks for taking the time to comment đ
Excellent video as always Charlie. I need to be as confident as you and not allow those little jobs to turn into frustrating nightmares.
Thanks buddy. Absolutely. You just need to take your time. That's the key. Don't give up though. Get one right and all the nightmares will be a thing of the past đ
@@CharlieDIYte 'Thats the key' , I see what you did there đ
@C4sp3r Very good !
Another neat job done Charlie but that Black & Decker Workmate has definitely seen better times. ATB Marc - Belgium
Thanks Marc I know. I've looked around to see what to replace it with and nothing leaps out at me. I might instead just put two new oak tops on it.
@@CharlieDIYte That is exactly what I did Charlie. After all they are a useful piece of kit and the new ones are expensive and not as sturdy as the old ones. Keep healthy!
Make it look so easy.. But I'm loving the way you explain everything I'm sure if we follow your instructions and taking care.. we can also achieve similar results.. Great video as usual đđđ
You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment. You absolutely will, after all, that's how I started, and that was long before CZcams. They key is to buy the right diameter drill bits, and have a decent, sharp set of chisels đ
Great vid. Thanks for posting. Very timely too as I'm about to replace an old hook lock.
Thanks Wayne. Good luck with the replacement and thanks for watching the vid đ
Love the way you explain things! A DiYers true dream channel. Thanks for taking the time to upload - much much appreciated
Garviel that's incredibly kind of you, and thank YOU for your continued support and regular comments. I tell you, it can be a bit of a roller coaster doing this and the comments are truly the life blood of the channel. I wouldn't be able to do it without them đđ
Another great video. I am getting ready to change the hinge side on a door, and your stands will help me do that !
Thanks, David. I went into a little more detail on how I made them here czcams.com/video/_bIqnAf8b2Y/video.html but it's obviously very straightforward. You might just want to cut one side at a slight angle as you can see I did, so that it takes the angle of the wedge better.
Thanks for that Charlie. Found that very helpful. Please be safe as always from South africa
Thanks Val. Great to hear from you. Trust all's ok in SA.
Charlie DIYte
All good this side. Freezing cold though. Lots of snow/rain about again.
Your videos are brilliant and given me confidence to do a few jobs myself saving me lots of money not having to hire a handyman..đ
Great video! Couldnât help notice your gas valve falls to open! đ
when your home renovation ends, we must buy you a new old house (strange words!) so you continue to make good videos.
You have nothing to worry about Mohammad, if anything I'm losing the renovation battle here because ironically I spend so long editing videos that I don't have time to get on top of the DIY. There's so much still to do, it will keep me going for years!
@@CharlieDIYte I am sure you can tackle all the problems and make your home the nice place you and your family deserve. I wish you the best
This is proof that if you have the right tools you can do almost any job
It definitely helps. đ
@Stadium 854321 you Don't need a lot of tools to fit a mortice lock,I have morticed several with just a 19mm chisel and a hammer, did one one with a chisel and a rock just to prove a point.
Some form of drill is handy for pilot holes and keyway though.
Mint I'm gonna start calling you qualiified carpenter Charlie well done
Lol...yeah, right....đ
Believe me - he's got a long way to go. But - he's a clever bloke, so can't criticise him for having a go.
Thanks Chris. I'll ignore Stu's comment đ
@@johnriggs4929 Thanks John. At the end of the day, if you're a qualified carpenter, you don't need to be watching DIY videos like this, or possibly you should be setting up your own CZcams channel to show people like me how it's done properly đ
@@CharlieDIYte well I don't comment just to criticise... actually I admire the way you go about the jobs you take on - you approach things in an easy to follow way, and sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can spot a more logical way of doing things. It's too easy for a tradesman to make videos showing DIY ers how to do things... but we're not looking at it from the DIYers perspective - you are. I hope you don't mind me correcting you where needed though - for your viewers benefit as well as your own.
Keep the great videos coming Charlie ...........đ
Thanks mate. Will do đđ»
good no nonsense video
Thanks, I appreciate that đ
To date I have never seen a solid brass screw with anything other than a slotted head so I think those screws are almost certainly brass plated so you don't need to nanny them too much, I know some people watching might have heard scare stories of using brass screws.
I'm sure you're right, thinking about it, but always worth piloting in oak.đđ
@@CharlieDIYte Definitely, piloting is never a bad thing. Just wanted to reassure those scared of brass screws as they are tricky to use correctly.
Great video and very well explained. đđ
Thanks đ
A2 stainless would have been more than good enough (also quite a bit cheaper than A4 which is more suited to marine environments as it's a bit soft but excellent corrosion resistance in salt water).
I'm with you 110% on the torx head screws, I try and use nothing else these days for all the reasons you mentioned.
Thanks for that. I completely agree with the A2. I just had the A4 knocking around so I thought I'd use them đ
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks Duke. One thing - the escutcheon (the cover over the key hole) should have been on the inside đ€Š
Great video!
Great Video, thanks.
Thanks, I appreciate that đ
Champion job!
Thanks đ
Great video. Thank you đ
You're welcome, thanks for the comment đđ»
Great Charlie
Who let the dog out!
Ha! Weird wasn't it. Thought I'd leave it in though đ
Made me laugh anyhow. đ¶
you mad it so easy and simple
Thanks - good to hear from you again, trust all's well đ
Gatemate long throw, 6 pin euro, great lock
Charlie, here is one for your tool collection mate ,The makita Impact Gold magnetic Screw bit holder its so Strong mate Try one out đđ Quality product
Cheers, Ryan. I like the look of that!
Cracking video very interesting..
Thanks David. Just put the escutcheon on the inside when you do yours. Note sure why I put it on the outside đ€Ł
Nice one Charlie, thanks.
Just found your channel and did some catching up on it. Love your explanations and reasons/options. Tbh I didn't even need to watch half the stuff I did. Your content kept me keen.
That being said, I'm in the middle of having to run some Ethernet cables around the living room. Could you go over some options? Main issues are around door frames!
Thanks, I really appreciate that! I take it the room isn't carpeted, as if it was, it would be easier to go under the threshold strip. It's a bit difficult to comment without understanding more about the space, or what you're trying to do. Maybe email me some photos to charliediyte@gmail.com. By the way, if you're extending your WiFi, you HAVE TO use UniFi, either their AP AC Pro or the Lite version. It's perfect for what you're doing as it relies on hard wired connections, but seemlessly extends wifi. I've got two of them in the house and one in the shed at the bottom of the garden! Really easy to set up for us DIYers.
just doing some research for house insurance
And Ryobi do a cordless finger file as well đđ
Yes, I've seen that. They're useful little tools, these power files. Thanks for the comment đ
How many turns does your lock do. Am looking for a lock that tuens twice so it goes further into the frame
Keep an honest man out
Great video but I have a nitpick. Isn't the escutcheon with the cover supposed to go on the _inside_? The point is to stop people being able to peep through the keyhole .
That is a very valid nitpick. Yes of course it should be on the inside. I don't know what I was thinking putting it on the outside đ€Š Thanks for pointing that out!!
You need to invest into getting a souber mortise tool, I been putting it off for years but recently got one second hand and itâs a dream to put mortise locks and latches etc in, which I used to hate installing.....why didnât you refix the frame, you had the fixings in your hand and it would have only taken 15mins
Hi great videos but can't find the corner chisel, only set's. Could you please send me the code? Thanks regards Jeff
Sorry, Jeff. The link is now added to the Description, but you can find it here bit.ly/3hMAOdd It's not cheap, but I think it'll be invaluable for the mortices I need to cut when making the outdoor seating.

Hi Charlie, fab video even though it an older one. Quick question- would you still employ this method of using a spade/auger drill bit to make the cavity for lock body then neaten up with a chisel or have you come across any better methods router etc? Thanks in advance
Thanks Mosaddiq. No I haven't really. The problem with a router is it won't plunge deep enough to cut out the cavity for the lock body so you are a bit restricted to using this technique
Souber morticer us by far the quickest way,dint like using it on old doors though because of hidden nails and screws.
I won't even use my good chisels on a door like this.
Hi Charlie. I'm about to fit a mortice lock to my exterior wooden door. This is a job I have done before, but it occurred to me that the door frame might be weakened by removing some of the tenon when boring out the hole. Any thoughts?
I wouldn't worry about it Robert. The tenon position should have been designed with a mortice lock in mind. You can normally see the tenons in which case try and place the lock to avoid them. đđ»
@@CharlieDIYte Thanks for prompt reply Charlie. I am re-assured. As this is a replacement door, it would be easier to keep the mortice in the same place to match the lock plate in the old frame. This will encroach upon the tenon. If I can move it slightly, I will.
A multi tool is better to remove the wood after drilling the holes đ
Fair point. đ
Use some grease on the screws...easier work and will come back out when required...!!
Fair point đ
Any particular type of grease?
Hi Charlie, another interesting video, quick question buddy, you mentioned the Dewalt tool roll, previously you recommended the Ryobi tool roll, is there really much difference between them, everytime I watch your videos I start making shopping lists of tools to buy......its dangerous watching you... :D
Hi buddy. The Ryobi tool roll was a lovely little bit of kit but they don't make it anymore, so the DeWalt is I think the best option out there. The masonry bits were a bit iffy, but I've replaced those with the Bosch universal drill bits. I literally use it on every job. It's just the convenience of it, compared to that big old Makita set. I'm sorry to be the source of temptation. That being the case, you absolutely mustn't click on this link to my online store www.amazon.co.uk/shop/charliediyte đ
Erbauer drill and impact driver rather than Raiobi?
Only because my Erbauer drill and driver are brushless, and the chuck on my Ryobi combi is on the way out. Still love my Ryobi stuff though and actually my Ryobi impact is easier to control than the Erbauer if I'm honest.
I love my Erbauer impact driver and the Erbauer sds drill is great as well
It's spelled "Cryobi".
@@CharlieDIYte God job. I bought the same erbauer set after approval from "the management" when plasterboarding the ceiling of the garage, with a few drilling jobs in the garden as an excuse to get both. I'm very impressed, though the erbauer cordless circular saw has the blade on the right rather than on the left as on your erbauer CS. I'm right handed and would rather have the left hand blade, though this isn't often discussed.
@@davidmcarthur1093 I've got my eye on the SDS, David. Also the batteries last for ever đ
Neat job. But ...1) Why are you taking the door off? You're just making work. Wedge the bottom of the door.
2) It's a mortice, not a rebate. 3) Clamp some spare bits of timber at each side of the door, when you're chiselling out for the face plate (if you haven't got a palm router handy, which most won't haven't) otherwise you risk the cut bursting out the face of the door.
Thanks. I took the door off because it only took a few minutes to remove and it's easier to work on the door when it's in the door clamps. Fair point though about clamping the spare bits of timber.
@@CharlieDIYte I have to disagree with you on that point, when you get used to them it is far easier and quicker to do with the door hung.
But if you feel more comfortable doing it in a stand then that is up to you,everyone has their preferences.
Nice haircut.
The wife was chuffed with that. It was her second lockdown hair cut. Definitely improving!
After saying not everybody will have a square chisel proceeds to use another few tools router and power file not every one will have to do the rebate etc or is that just me. đ
A bit harsh mate. You need a few tools but you're entitled to comment.
