Nice job Andy. You have to love those mortice jigs. I fitted a euro deadlock the other week but it wasn't a thumbturn, I stuck in a Lathams 30/30 euro cylinder. I did exactly the same when fitting the keep, right where there was a screw. I used a hacksaw blade. Great video.

Very nice job. Not as many of those locks in the USA. My husband and I love the look of the EU door locks. God bless your beautiful country 🙏 Thank you for sharing your video 🙏

Hey Lizzie. Thank you for watching. Myself and my wife were in New York a couple of weeks ago and I must say, the locks don’t look as secure as what we have here in the UK. However. New York was stunning and I can’t wait to one day go back ☺️🇺🇸

4:11 Yes it’s a Euro deadlock in the MLA Exam. You won’t have any issue passing with your standard of work. That’s assuming you haven’t done it already! When I did the MLA exam years ago it was, Install a rim cylinder & deadlock Open a rim cylinder & deadlock Then a written exam .

🤔 Andy on the MLA test I think you have to cut out a mortice in a door by hand using the old fashion method and also I think you have to cut a key to a 3G110 by hand also but don’t quote me on that though bud cause am not 100%.😩🤫 yes I know a lot of thinking there, it hurts trust me.🥴😵‍💫🤯

@@brighton_locksmith you can do it with coaching I believe too mate not sure if that means they give you the answers to be fair 😂 heard there not too hard general knowledge ect

When marking up and drilling the euro profile holes and the keep I like to run a wide piece of painters tape and then do all marking up/alignment stuff on the tape rather than the wood. I find it makes for a tidy a job and great if you want to see your markings and verify that’s it’s correct prior to drilling etc. Worth trying next time and see if you like it. Best

Another great video Andy. Nice tip regarding the square for the centre of the euro, how do you calculate the height of the euro against that center line so that it is in line with the lock when fitted?

@brighton_locksmith

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Colin. I hold the lock on the door, mark the top and bottom of the faceplate, mark the top and bottom of the lock case and mark the top and bottom of the keyway or in this case the euro keyway. Then I use my square to transfer all the marks around the the other side of the door 👍🏼 I hope that all makes sense 😁 Thanks for watching buddy 🙏🏼

Keep those Videos coming they are great, but keep costing me money buying things I didn't know I needed but now cant do without :) . The only thing I struggle with is it looks like you use a impact driver to screw things in and when I try that the head strips so maybe I just don't have the knack yet.
