Door latch mortise guide
Mark it right.
Then make the cut.
Bring a clear reference to the door-edge stage of your latch project. This compact guide helps position and score the latch mortise before you begin chiseling.

Made for the moment before chiseling
A clear outline makes the rest of the job easier to plan.
Position the guide on the door edge, score the latch-mortise outline, then move to the recess work with your hammer and chisel.
The guide combines a locating head, a 90° fence and a built-in scoring blade in one compact body—so the latch area is established before the cut begins.
A purposeful shape
Three details that do the setup work.
Outline blade
Use the built-in 25 × 56 mm scoring blade to mark the latch-mortise outline before chiseling the recess.
Compact ABS body
The 58 × 165 mm guide keeps the locating, fence and scoring functions together for the door-edge preparation stage.
How the guide fits into the job
Set up the mortise in four practical stages.
Follow the latch hardware instructions for your specific project. This guide supports the marking and preparation stage; the latch hardware itself is separate.
Seat the 90° fence against the door face and position the guide at the latch location.
Use the guide’s marking blade to establish the outline for the latch mortise.
Use a suitable hammer and chisel to remove material within the marked outline.
Install the latch hardware according to its own fitting instructions once the recess is prepared.
Project note: A hammer, chisel and latch hardware are required for the full installation and are not included with this guide.
Fit check before you start
For common interior door thicknesses.
Choose the guide for latch-mortise work on compatible 1⅜ in and 1¾ in doors. Confirm the latch placement and hardware instructions before beginning your project.

One focused part of a bigger project
From a marked door edge to fitted hardware.
The guide does not replace the rest of the installation. It gives you a dedicated way to line up and score the latch-mortise area before you chisel, fit the hardware and finish the door.
That keeps the tool’s role simple: help establish the right working area at the right stage.
