As shown, for example in FIGS. 1 to 14, the lockset installation kit includes a door jig (1) configured for attachment to a distal end (2) of a door (3). The door jig (1) clamps to the distal end (2) and is used to guide the boring out of the door handle hole (18), the boring out of the latch bolt hole (15) and the morticing of the latch bolt plate recess (16). As shown for example in FIGS. 27 to 39, the kit also includes a frame jig (29) configured for attachment to a door frame (30). The frame jig (29) is used to guide the boring out of the strike bolt hole (65) and the morticing of the strike plate recess (46). To assist with correct alignment, the kit provides for the door jig (1) to be mechanically coupled to the frame jig (29).

A method of fitting a childproof latch fitting mechanism and a latch installation tool arranged to locate between a first latch fitting and a second latch fitting, to spatially locate the first and second latch fitting at a pre-determined distance respectfully one from the other, wherein in the installation tool is temporarily attached to the first and second latch fittings, whilst they are located and fixed, at least temporarily in place.

An adapter and interface permits a standard mortise lock to drive top and bottom latch mechanisms of a multi-point lock system. An actuator permits in situ adjustment of the top and bottom vertical latch projections of adjusting these projections while the door is hung in the door frame. An installation tool assists in the installation of the vertical rods in a door. A connector and carrier secures the vertical rods to the actuator and permits verification of retention of the rods in a multi-point latching system. A latch dogging indicator allows for end-user adjustment between a single-point lock and a multi-point lock system when desired. These different aspects may be employed in combination or separately with other locking systems.
