Offset Adapter
The
DBB Morticer, manufactured by Souber Tools, produces a perfect lock recess every
time. It is a genuine 5 minute morticer which is acclaimed by locksmiths and builders
alike.
Highlights
Available as a complete kit, or as an upgrade for your standard morticer, this attachment has been developed for European-style rebated doors with off-centre lock mortices.
Using the same vertical bar & clamp system, the attachment has a side sliding shaft housing, so that mortices can be cut off-centre.
This flexibililty allows you to cut hinge recesses and the mortice for the strike plate on door frames less than 95mm thick.
