Welcome to the forum.

Are we talking small boxes (like a jewellery box) or doors, as in on the house.

[cazdids]

house and comercial doors ............thanks for the welcome ....like the site

I think Bunnings sell a sort of hinge template for those hinges with rounded corners so you can use a router to cut the rebate.

Other than that, locks are prety easy. They usually come with a cardboard template which you use to mark the holes and then just drill away.

have a crack, it's not that hard.

Have a look at the woodworking channel (http://www.thewoodworkingchannel.com/) - they have a program that is repeated fairly regularly that's called the router workshop, the episode I'm thinking about covers exactly what you are trying to do - and they use their own simple to make jig for the job (Which I would expect not only will be more suited to your specific dimensions but cheaper too:rolleyes:).

Ciao,

Cazdids, Locksets are most commonly installed using a 1" auger bit for the latch and a Forstner bit for the knob hole.(In wooden doors) Common back sets(distance from the edge of the door to the center of the knob hole) for the locks are 2-3/8" for residential and 2-3/4" for commercial doors. There are special punch's for marking the recessed areas to be chiseled out. Kwikset sells a very nice professional installation kit in the US for about $200 which includes a jig that clamps to the door and all needed tools. Porter Cable offers a very nice jig for production routing door hinges in entry doors. You can Google the Kwikset installation kit and view the hinge template at portercable.com. These two items should help you in designing your own jigs or at least show you what to look for in Oz.

[cazdids]

yanks are good arnt they ........... that is just what i am looking for tar very much

[aniceone2hold]

The Irwin jig is made from plastic and not designed for production use, rather for homeowners who might install a dozen locks in their lifetime. Very affordable at about $25 US with the hole saws.
