Abstract

See full text

The present invention is a special-pattern cutting tool for preparing mortises on the edges of wood door slabs and jambs to inset the various plates on standard door hardware. This wood-chisel type tool enables the finish carpenter to quickly cut an outline exactly matching the flat screw-plates that secure the hardware to the door-slab and jambs. The improvement is primarily the cut-pattern shape that incorporates a curved blade to match the rounded corners of said plates. Three variations of the tool comprise a set. Each one is intended to create an outline pattern matching the hinge plate, or the latch-bolt striker plate, or the latch-bolt/lock-bolt plunger plate according to the specifications of at least one manufacturer's door hardware products. Some industry standards do exist between manufacturers to enable competitive replacement of such hardware so the tools would be somewhat universal.
