How to cut a lock with a cutter. The choice and rules of using a router for hinges Manual router for cutting locks and hinges

Design trends are constantly changing, so apartment owners do not so rarely make repairs and install new interior doors. Some resort to the help of professionals, while others believe that they can cope with such a task on their own. But in order to accurately insert the lock, you will need to use special toolssuch as a cutter.

Benefits

In carpentry work, there are situations when you have to carry out the process on site. In order not to make recesses with a chisel, which does not always come out neatly, it is recommended to use a cutter. This tool is used when installing door designs and makes work easier.

Milling cutter

The plunge cutter will help you get the job done faster, more accurately and more accurately. Manual happens different types... The tool is completed with special devices, with the help of which a hole for a handle or a lock device is made.

In addition, there is an opportunity to purchase an additional kit that can easily and quickly cut different holes. Along with the tool itself, a cutter can be included in the kit, which will help to make a cut from hard alloy of different diameters. It is equipped with bars and protectors to do the same job, cutting in locks with little differences.

The market offers big choice cutters with which are performed different jobs... They are divided into groups:

• Edging. Performs carved details and edges for the product.
• Groove. Performs grooves, grooves, indentations of various depths in wood surfaces.

Groove cutter

• Figirenaya. With its help, the edges of the panels are processed.
• Spiral. With her participation, they make round holes for handles in the door leaf.

Spiral cutter

To install the lock in the door leaf, you will need a groove cutter of a suitable length. With its help, it is easy to make an even and suitable recess at the end of the canvas. with the same tool, a place for the hinges is also prepared.

To make a round, neat hole in the canvas for a knob handle, a spiral cutter is useful.

Preparing for device installation

To prepare for a tie-in, you need a tool:

• yardstick;
• construction square;
• pencil or marker;
• slipway;
• set of screwdrivers;
• electric drill;
• chisel;
• a hammer;
• manual frezer.

Even if there is a cutter, you cannot do without a chisel. This is due to the fact that the spiral nozzle leaves behind uneven borders. A chisel will help fix them.

Work process

Once the tool is assembled, it's time to get to work. The whole process is divided into the following stages:

• First, they mark the place where the castle itself will be located. By the standard, it is located at a height of 90-100 cm from the floor, but situations are different.
• After determining the height, they find the depth to which it will be planted locking mechanism... Using a square, mark this value with a pencil on the canvas.
• Then take measurements and make a mark where the keyhole and latch will be located. The holes for them are made with a drill with a feather drill.
• Mark the boundaries of the recess that will be required for the installation of the crossbar by attaching it to the end door leaf... Fix the nozzle, which corresponds to the diameter of the hole to be made, and drill it. This will help the crossbar to fit tightly into the prepared place and correctly position itself in the door leaf.
• After that, a groove is cut under the body. The cut is made so that the body fits completely into the recess. Borders are processed with a chisel.
• Carefully clean the hole made from burrs and install the prepared locking system. Using self-tapping screws, a crossbar is attached to the end of the canvas.
• Install fittings.

Recess made with a cutter

It can be concluded that for self installation required quality tool and a little practice to use it. The cutter will become irreplaceable assistant for the home master.

What models should you use to make your work easier? For the preparation of landing sites for locks in the door leaf or other wooden product good option will become the FC116U router. It works very neatly. If the door is already installed, it will help not to damage it, as it has a simple setting system. This tool handles both vertical and horizontal surfaces. They can work both with ordinary doors and with those that have a vestibule. In this case, the router is displaced in relation to the center of the door.

You can adjust the equipment to sew from two to four right or left buttonholes. It has a protector and clip system. This will allow you to complete the work without damaging the web, eliminate any inaccuracies. The engine in this tool is powerful, additionally equipped with a drive that is regulated and maintains the speed at a given frequency.

How the sidebar is made is shown in this video:

In order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to cut a lock into interior door, you need to know its design and types.

Depending on the type of fastening, locks are overhead and mortise. Overhead models, due to the outdated design, are practically not used anymore. It is very easy to install such a lock correctly, since for normal work it is only required to provide the latch with the entrance to the counter plate. In this case, the main part of the castle is outside.

It is much more difficult to insert the lock into the interior door, because the entire mechanism must be introduced into the canvas.

Locking tongues can have the following types of fixation:

• magnetic - the metal tongue is attracted by the magnet, while the spring completely blocks its movement;
• roller - fixation is carried out due to a moving roller and a spring;
• the latch is a standard mechanism that locks the latch thanks to the tongue.

In addition, a lock can be installed in the door, as for front door... Such a lock can be: lever, cylinder or disk.

Required tool

To install a lock in an interior door with your own hands was easy, you need to prepare a certain tool:

• pencil;
• a hammer;
• drill;
• chisel;
• phillips screwdriver
• drill for metal or wood;
• chisel;
• bit;
• cutters of such a diameter, which should be the slots for the latch and handle.

When the entire tool is prepared, you can proceed to the rest of the preparatory and installation work do it yourself.

Diy lock insert

Before inserting the lock into the interior door, it is necessary to mark where it will be located. Usually matched optimal height for all residents of the apartment, but it is better if everyone doorknobs will be located at the same height.

When the place for the castle is chosen, the next step is to do it yourself, which is done in this way:

• the lock case is applied to the surface of the door (from the side) and encircled to mark the place for the hole;
• choose a drill 1-1.5 mm larger than the thickness of the lock case, and drill a hole for the lock. The holes run perpendicular to the end of the door and are placed so that the distance is the same on each side;
• a chisel with a hammer prepares a hole for the lock with your own hands;
• the lock is inserted into the hole. At the same time, he should not dangle and easily enter;
• make a deepening with a chisel along the contour of the lock with their own hands so that the lock plate lies flush;
• we prepare the holes for the door handle and the core of the key, after which they need to be installed and fastened with screws using the appropriate tool.

Some models of locks for interior doors have a position lock on one of the handles. Therefore, when installing such a lock, you need to pay attention that this locking mechanism is with inside door leaf.

Installing the door latch handle

To secure door handle latch at the door, you need to do the following:

• install decorative overlays and attach them with self-tapping screws;
• fix a rod that has a square or hexagonal section. A rod will connect the door handles on both sides of the door;
• close the door to correctly mark the position of the latch for the lock;
• measure the length of the tongue and mark it on the door frame;
• to the marks indicated with a pencil, attach a receiving pad and circle it with a pencil;
• along the specified contour using necessary tool, holes are drilled, and the chisel is given the necessary shape for seat overlays;
• the pad is installed on the prepared place and fixed with self-tapping screws;
• the door lock is opened and closed to check if it functions correctly.

Cutters for inserting locks into interior doors

To install the lock in the door leaf quickly and efficiently, you can use a router.

First, the door is fixed in an upright position so as not to hold it during all work, after which a place for the location of the lock is marked.

Installing a patch lock

The installation of overhead locks has long been a thing of the past, but still, such locks are sometimes used, especially when mortise lock breaks down, and there is no way to embed a new one. In this case, it is better to choose a new lock that is the same size as the old mortise lock.

When the lock is installed with your own hands, you must perform the following actions:

• a lock pattern is applied to the door and the locations of the holes for the fasteners and the cylinder are marked, after which the necessary indentations are made;
• on outside the door is fixed in the prepared hole with a cylinder and a ring for fixing, and from the inside - a mounting plate;
• the latch is released, after which the connecting rod is aligned with the slot;
• a recess is made on the box end for the strike plate;
• the striker plate is attached to the door frame.

In this article, we will consider more quick method inset of the lock in the interior door, compared. This method speeds up work at times, and if you need to install a lock in several doors, then this is what you need.

We start the inset with the marking of the door leaf. I install a lock in an interior door so that the lock handle is 900 mm from the bottom of the door. I postpone this size on the door leaf.

I attach the lock to the door and align the hole for the handle with the mark, outline the edges of the lock.

I find the middle of the thickness of the door leaf and draw a line.

I measure the thickness of the part of the lock, which later hides in the door, in my case it is 12 mm. I take a drill 1-2 mm larger in diameter and drill holes from mark to mark on the canvas. I try to keep the holes one after the other.

Then, with the same drill, we drill the holes into the longitudinal groove.

With a chisel we trim the groove for the lock. I didn't have a drill with a diameter of 13-14 mm, so I had to trim it at the end with a router to get a sufficient width of the slot for the lock. But if the drill had the required diameter, then nothing would have to be trimmed, it turned out about the same groove, only with an uneven edge.

We attach the lock and see if it fits well.

If everything is in order, with a knife we \u200b\u200bmark the pad of the lock on the door leaf.

I attach a lock, it should fit tightly.

I mark the holes for the handle and latch. I put the lock on the side of the door, align it with the edge of the door and make sure that the edges line up with the edges of the milled groove.

I drill holes for the handle and latch. I use a 20mm Faustner ledge. Previous post: How to install hinges on an interior door. Cutting in loops with a router.

Hello everyone. Today we will talk about the correct and simple installation of hinges with a router in the door leaf and door frame. Loops can be cut in several ways, the most affordable is, but it is the longest and the result will largely depend on the evenness of the hands and accuracy. Milling cut-in speeds up the process several times and the quality of each installed hinge the same, which is very good for serial insertion.

Personally, I install the hinges at a distance of 200 mm from the edge of the canvas, this, in my opinion, is the best option.

We proceed to the marking, set aside 200 mm from the edges of the door leaf, this will be the edge of the hinge. We apply a loop to the mark and align it. In order to mark the loop on the canvas, I recommend using a regular segment knife, just cut the veneer of the door leaf with it, and move the knife from the edge of the loop to the center.

If you move the knife differently, your hand may tremble and the scratch on the veneer will be outside the loop, which will not be very good in the end. We mark the edges of the loops in this way.

Now you need to prepare the router for work. I have a Makita RP0900 milling cutter, quite such a normal machine, only it has a significant drawback, as for me, it is a sharp start, when you press a button, it jerks, because of this you can milling in the wrong place. The principle of setting the router is the same for all manufacturers. First, we install the cutter. To mill the hinges, I use a regular slot cutter 18 mm in diameter. Here's one:

We set the cutter flush with the router platform and tighten the screw, which is responsible for fixing the platform.

The side of the router has a depth gauge, on my router it is like this:

We insert the loop between the bolt and the stopper rod and fix it to fix the loop thickness.

We set the width of the inset of the hinge, for this you need to attach the loop to the side stop of the router and turn the cutter so that the edge of the blade coincides with the edge of the hinge, to adjust, move or move the side stop underneath until the blade coincides. When setting up the router, it must be de-energized, otherwise you run the risk of becoming a man who has nine fingers.

Checking our depth settings on a piece of wood. Personally, I check immediately on the door leaf, just make a small run in the middle of the hinge. I attach a hinge and see if it is flush with the door leaf or not. If not level, then I correct the setting and try the depth again.

After setting, we mill the loop. Here, be very careful not to mill too much.

We mill a little before reaching the scratches.

With a chisel, we make the corners straight and remove the excess to scratches.

As a result, you should get a rectangular groove into which the loop fits perfectly.

We mark the places for the screws and drill holes of a slightly smaller diameter than the screws themselves.

We mark the hinges on the door frame. On the side post from the top, set aside the thickness of the part of the door frame, which will be on top. In my example, the thickness of the door frame is 25 mm.

We add 3-4 mm to the gap from the door leaf to the frame and apply the side post to the door leaf, aligning this mark with the edge of the door leaf.

We transfer the edges of the hinges from the door leaf to the side post of the door frame.

Then we carry out all the same steps as with the door leaf. We mark with a knife, milling, clean up with a chisel. If door frame has a quarter, then when milling you need to use a spacer whose thickness is equal to the height of this quarter.

After milling all the loops, we screw them into place.

This is how the hinge is installed using a hand router.

Depending on the location factor door block, opening method, as well as from total active canvases, doors can be sorted relatively certain types... For many, external doors are familiar, but there are doors internal type opening.

Consumer demand

Statistics recent years relative to the demand for door structures designed to enter the apartment, it shows an indicator of growing popularity in metal doors internal opening... This fact of consumer demand is explained by the fact that there are three or even all four entrances to the apartment in high-rise multi-apartment buildings. So one common area of \u200b\u200ba small square cannot allow the owners to leave their own premises at a time.
The next reason hiding the increased consumer demand for interior doors, is expressed in the comfort of using the opening. If it is permissible to remove the interior doors from the hinges if necessary to bring the overall furniture into the room, then the entrance canvases are quite difficult to dismantle for the same needs.
Internal opening doors allow you to freely use the opening when opening the sash.
As for technical parameters, then the internal doors are somewhat distinguishable from standard designsopening by swinging outward, which is in no way similar to interior blocks... The selection of typical blocks should be made especially carefully, since the issue of burglar resistance of typical products is relevant.
Entrance canvases to an apartment or any other building with internally openings are a design with more vulnerable burglar resistance indicators. a sash that opens from itself is quite easy to knock out corny with a foot or by applying another slight physical impact. So the inner doors must be endowed increased rate resistance and resistance to typical influences.
It is worth noting that the vast majority of manufacturers of door structures do not manufacture blocks that open into an apartment. The reason for this is the above susceptibility to unreliability before knocking out, which each manufacturing company will not risk, in terms of its reputation. Still the leading manufacturers of door coverings entrance group provide the retail consumer with standard manufactured products in an assortment, creating structures, so that, using any tool, the door remains a reliable barrier to unauthorized access to a home or other other premises.

Design features

Not the last role in quality indicators reliability is given to installation work, however, when creating a structure, additional safety factors are used, which are achieved through the following indicators:

The thickness of the steel sheets used in the formation of the door leaf increases, reaching 3 mm.

For typical products, the thickness of the steel sheet relative to the requirements of GOST standards should even exceed 3 mm.

More stringent, far from conditional requirements are imposed on the inner doors, which consist in the installation of additional reinforced stiffeners in the door leaf.

At the same time, standard entrance doors are endowed with only two or at most three horizontally directed stiffeners, while internal doors are equipped with a combination of vertical and horizontal stiffeners. Thus, a kind, in visual perception, steel mesh from a square profile or from an angular profile, makes it possible to exclude deformation and mechanical damage to the door leaf.

For many doors of the internal way of opening, the weak point is the vestibule, by the way, it is worth noting that the interior blocks are on the same list. In the entrance type of use, the structure cannot afford such a disadvantage as the gap between the sash and the frame for many reasons.

If the interior blocks can be additionally and rather easily removed from the existing gap in the vestibule, then the entrance fabrics are rather difficult to reconstruct in this direction. At the same time, the existing gap in the vestibule opens up more opportunities for unauthorized entry into the building. They get rid of a typical problem in the process of manufacturing a structure in a factory or factory conditions, by strengthening the site in the castle zone. Thus, any type of impact, including a mechanical one, is prevented in the bud.

Types of indoor units

Internal door products, as a structure with an opening to the inside of the entrance premises, can be divided into different kinds regarding the opening method:

Swing blocks are the most common, can swing in both directions (left / right), depending on the needs and is revealed in the preliminary order and selection of the block. However, typical products require a certain area interior space for opening the door inward when entering the building.

Sliding products, oddly enough sounds for the doors of the entrance group, since everyone is more familiar with interior designs sliding way of opening. Despite the apparent vulnerability of typical fabricated products, manufacturers create real masterpieces of reliability, sound and heat insulation. Installation of such canvases is required with a professional approach, since the canvases of the entrance group are often installed with a shift into the wall cavity.

Internal opening constructions can be created from the most various materials, as well as to decorate in completely different ways, similar to the classic products of the entrance group of the standard opening method.
