Self-Centring Door Latch Router Jig
Stop measuring door thickness. Let the jig find the centre for you.
Not every “35mm” or “40mm” door is exactly 35mm or 40mm thick. Small variations in door thickness can throw out fixed-size latch jigs, while adjustable jigs need to be measured, set and readjusted when moving between different door thicknesses.
The Self-Centring Door Latch Router Jig solves that problem by automatically finding the centre of the door every time. Simply fit it over the door edge, position the latch using the built-in centre-line notch, secure the jig with 2 clamps and route. No multiple jigs for different door thicknesses. One jig to do them all.
No measuring the door thickness. No adjusting the jig. No guessing the centre.
Whether you're working on a 35mm or 40mm door – or a door that's a few millimetres either side – the jig self-centres for a quick, accurate and repeatable latch recess.

Latch Compatibility
The included latch face template is designed specifically for 57mm × 25mm latch or a 65mm x 25mm faceplate.
Additional latch face sizes are coming soon.
Need a different size? Get in touch if you require a custom latch face template and we can discuss making one to suit your latch.
Router Bit Requirements
The jig is designed for use with a bearing-guided router bit.
The latch face template is 18mm thick, so the cutting length of your router bit must not exceed 18mm.
The jig uses the same router bit specification as our Door Hinge Jigs, allowing one router bit to be used across both jig systems.
Compatible router bits will be available from our store soon.
