Carey Template 600C Strike and Latch Plate Template

by Carey Template

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Designed not only to rout the strike and latch plate, but to help align them perfectly and with ease. The gauges at both ends of the template automatically align the latch plate in the center of the door. They also align the strike plate on the jamb to the exact setback. Designed to fit over a door stop or rabbited jamb and still rout the strike plate in the proper position. Made .049 in. thicker than the hinge template to avoid resetting the router depth for the strike plate. Made of high impact ABS and fiberglass, and if nicked by the router it may be patched with ABS cement. A corner chisel guide to square corners is included.

If you've ever installed strike and latch plates on doors, you know how incredibly upsetting it can be to install these mechanisms and find out that they don't line up! This tool makes installation of these plates a zip. The beautiful thing is that it is pre-measured to work on both 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" doors, and it includes almost all sizes of templates for your strike and latch plates. This has definitely saved me many hours of needless measurements and frustration!

I've used Porter-Cable with much success. I tried to save a few dollars and go this route. Trust me, it doesn't come close and won't hold up for more than a couple of doors. Do yourself a favor and go with Porter-Cable.
