Woodhaven Lockset Plate Router Jig – The Fastest Way to Cut Door Hardware Mortises
Installing door hardware the right way means routing a clean, precise lockset plate mortise and doing it without nail holes, chisel marks, or surface damage to the door. The Woodhaven Lockset Plate Jig is the fastest, most accurate door lockset mortise jig available. It clamps directly to a wood fence you supply, uses two screw-in indexing pins to center automatically on 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" thick doors, and follows a bearing-guided bit for a perfect mortise every pass.
Whether you're a trim carpenter hanging doors every day or a dedicated DIYer tackling a single project, this door hardware router jig eliminates the guesswork from lockset installation. No layout lines, no chiseling to fit, just a clean, accurate mortise ready for your lockset plate.
How It Works:
- Attach the jig to a 3/4" wood fence (you supply) using the included hardware
- Two indexing pins automatically center the mortise on 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" doors - adjust the fence for any other position
- Use a bearing-guided bit (our 8500 or 8505) or a 5/8" bushing and 1/2" bit combo (5030K + 15407) to follow the strike plate router template
- For a metal door frame we recommend 5020K 3/8" guide bushing with 1/4" aluminum bit
- Clamps securely in place - no nail holes or surface blemishes on your door jamb
- If your door edges are beveled you can put a matching angle on the fence you create to attach the jig. Now the template will lay flat on the door for perfect routing.
Select Your Model:
- 8570: Standard lockset plate mortise fits most residential locksets
- 8575: Larger lockset plate mortise for wider hardware
- 8581: Extended mortise for deadbolt and combination locksets

I have tried many jigs and I like this the best. I looked at the aluminum ones but door edges are beveled about 2.5 to 3 degrees. Look at your doors and you will see the hinge sitting proud on one edge. With this jig, I put a matching angle of the door on the fence I create to attach the jig. Now the jig lays flat on the door for perfect routing and my hinges, and in this case the lockset plate is flat against the door. Other jigs lay flat but they are overly complicated when it is not necessary in my opinion. It's so easy to get it positioned and then tighten the fence. Run a test on a scrap piece of wood for positioning correctness and router bit depth. Can't get any easier and accurate than this.
Saved a ton of time and work.
I'm very happy with this item, very accurate and easy to use.
All I can say is if you do door replacement you need one of these, I have had 5 of other brands and none of them are half as good as Woodhaven, Thank you for making this
