Installing a mortise lock is not the most difficult task, and if you have the tools, this task can be done even if you have no experience.

Necessary tools for embedding a lock:

 

Electric drill and a set of drill bits or crowns;
Chisel 10 and 20 mm wide and mallet;
Screwdriver;
Roulette or long ruler, pencil, building or school square.

Lock insertion sequence:

 

We draw a longitudinal line at the installation site.
We apply the lock and outline the height of the notch with a pencil. We put marks with a square on both sides of the canvas.
We apply a drill where the lock needs to be inserted into the door and outline the depth of the recess.
We drill a series of holes along the longitudinal line so that they are closer one to one.
We remove excess wood with a chisel. To speed up the process, you can use a twist drill and move it along the walls of the recess.
Next, a lock is installed and fastened to self-tapping screws or screws, and along the contour of the lining with a knife, you need to make a cut with a depth equal to its thickness.
The lock is removed and a layer of wood is removed with a chisel.
A lock is applied to the previously made marks on the side surface and we outline the location of the larva. We apply it to the mark and circle the perimeter with a pencil.
We repeat the operation on the other side.
If there is a lock with handles, then we make an additional hole.
Next, we select a drill with a diameter slightly larger than that of the larva and drill holes on both sides.
On the reverse side, repeat this operation.
We screw the lock.
After the larva has been fixed, you need to check the operation of the lock. Next, cover the larva with decorative overlays.
Installing the receiving pad

If the mate is inserted incorrectly, the door will begin to play and there may be problems with closing the door. Marking must be done as accurately as possible. If you have these problems, then it is best to call the masters from https://grlocksmith.ca/ and this will really be a good way for the lock to function efficiently. If you are patient and decide to make the castle yourself, then follow these tips.

Installation must be carried out in the following sequence:

 

We open the door and push the bolts with the key. We lean them against the jamb and outline the height of the receiving recess.
We measure the distance from the center line of the lock to the edge of the door. This size is set aside on the jamb from the bar to which the door is pressed.
Having finished marking, you need to drill several holes, and the wall of the recess needs to be leveled with a chisel.
Next, we attach the receiving pad and make a slot around the perimeter.
We finally remove unnecessary wood and install the counterpart and re-check the operation of the lock.
