Disston 6575 Blu-Mol Door Latch Mortise Tool

This was the first time I used something like this to dig out the channel for the door knob thingy. It works well but it took me a while to figure it out. There are no moving parts so the blades for digging , you just press it in and move the whole thing manually. It did the job well overall. Just weird and no instructions. If I had another to do I think it would be easier now that I know how to use it. Overall , way better then doing this manually.

As advertised. Works good.

When I went to install a new Yale Assure 2 Lock I found that my bolt slide was not receessed enough into the door for the screws and bracket to line up. The solution was to mortise the bolt in more but trying to use the tools I had on hand was just not working. Frustrated, I ordered this and it arrived the next day. I lined it up and gave it a few whacks and then a chunk of wood came out and then the lock lined up perfectly and I was in business. I thought I was going to have to return the lock but this ten dollar tool saved the day.

I used this on my new doors and what a time saver, use some logic and it will work very well. I took out the cutter part of it and sharpened it more and it work even better than out of the box…
