PRODUCTION LOCK MORTISING
If you have a number of doors with the locks at the same height, the height-rod
attachment (Fig. 11) can be of great value. After you have determined the correct
height, and have the lock mortiser in position on the first door, attach the four
rods that compose the height-rod attachment. Insert the rods in the mortiser and
place the height rod stop (G) on the top of the rod so that it rests on the top of the
door. Lock the height-rod screws (H) Fig. 12. To locate the mortiser on the next
door, place the mortiser on the door with the height-rod stop resting on the top
of the door and tighten the clamps. This will assure having all locks located in the
same position.
