Abstract
A plug (30) on a edge plate (16) is set into a lock-plate recess (28) in a door (24). A pair of side plates (18, 20) are moved together from opposite sides of the door (14) until connector pins (34) on the edge plate (16) extend into connector pin openings (28) formed along common ends of the side plates (18, 20). Then, a clamp is used to clamp the two side plates (18, 20) to the door (24). A hole forming tool is then inserted through a gauge opening in one side plate (18, 20) and used to form a hole through the door (24) to a corresponding gauge opening in the second side plate (18, 20).
Description
- The invention relates to forming holes in doors for receiving lock sets. More particularly, it relates to the provision of a simple, easy-to-install, easy-to-use, template for properly positioning the tools used to make the holes with the door.
- It is known to use templates to aid proper positioning of lock set openings in doors. Known templates in the patent literature are disclosed by the following U.S. Pat. No. 1,611,930, granted Dec. 28, 1926, to Murdo C. MacLeod; U.S. Pat. No. 4,415,125, granted Dec. 29, 1987, to Lester R. Livick; U.S. Pat. No. 4,813,826, granted Mar. 21, 1989, to Raymond R. Riedel; U.S. Pat. No. 5,114,285, granted May 19, 1992, to Michael K. Brydon; U.S. Pat. No. 5,807,033, granted Sep. 15, 1998, to Randy E. Benway and U.S. Pat. No. 6,343,632, granted Feb. 5, 2002, to Varko Vivo Jinovic.
- A disadvantage of the template disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 5,114,285 is that the two side plates of the template converge as they extend away from the edge plate. This enables the side plates to function as a clamp for clamping the template onto a door. A disadvantage of this construction is that there is a strong likelihood that the template will scar the door when it is installed onto and/or removed off from the door.
- There is a need for a template that is simple in construction, easy to install and use, and adapted to not scar the door. The main object of the present invention is to fill this need.
- The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises an edge plate that is positionable against an edge of a door, a first side plate that is positionable against a first side of the door, and a second side plate that is positionable against the second side of the door. A plurality of connector pins extend outwardly from the edges of the edge plate. The side plates have connector pin receiving openings positioned to receive the connector pins. When the connector pins are in the connector pin receiving openings, the side plates of the template can be positioned flat against the sides of the door and the edge plate can be positioned against the edge of the door. One or more clamps (e.g. C-clamps) can be used to clamp the side plates on the door. The connector pins and connector pin openings will secure the edge plate to the side plates. The side plates have guide openings in them adapted to receive hole forming tools and guide them as they drill into the door. The guide openings are suitably positioned for making lock set mounting openings at the proper locations in the door for the particular lock set that is being installed on the door.
- Other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the description of the best mode set forth below, from the drawings, from the claims and from the principles that are embodied in the specific structures that are illustrated and described.
- Like reference numerals are used to designate like parts throughout the several views of the drawing, and:
-
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view of a fragment of a door in a region where a lock set is to be installed, such view showing a template spaced from the lock region of the door; -
FIG. 2 is a pictorial view on a larger scale thanFIG. 1 , showing the template installed at the lock receiving region of the door; -
FIG. 3 is an exploded pictorial view of the template, showing an edge plate between two side plates, and showing the alignment of connector pins on the edge plate with connector pin receiving openings in the side plates; -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken substantially along line 4-4 ofFIG. 2 , with the door omitted, said view showing a slight divergent of the side plates as they extend away from the edge plate; -
FIG. 5 is a view likeFIG. 4 , but showing the side plates substantially parallel to each other; -
FIG. 6 is a view likeFIGS. 4 and 5 , but showing the side plates converging slightly as they extend away from the edge plate; and -
FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of two of the pin and pin opening connections. -
FIG. 1 shows anembodiment 10 of the lock set template of the present invention in a spaced relationship from the lock setregion 12 of adoor 14. As best shown byFIG. 3 , thetemplate 10 comprises anedge plate 16, afirst side plate 18 and asecond side plate 20. Thedoor 14 has afirst side 22, asecond side 24 and anedge 26 that extend between thesides edge 22 is shown to include alock plate recess 28, also referred to as a “mortis”. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , theside plates side plates pin receiving openings 28. These openings may measure about one-quarter of an inch in diameter. - The
edge plate 16 is rectangular in shape and has end and edge surfaces that are substantially square with the side surfaces. The side surfaces ofside plate 18 are substantially parallel. The side surfaces ofside plate 20 are substantially parallel. The side surfaces ofedge plate 16 are substantially parallel. However, aplug 30 is secured to the inside ofedge plate 16, such as by a pair ofscrews 32, for example. Thescrews 32 removably connect theplug 30 to theedge plate 16.Plug 30 is constructed to snuggly fit within thelock plate recess 28 for the particular lock set that is being installed onto the door.Edge plate 16 is provided with a plurality ofconnector pins 34, equal in number to theconnector pin openings 28. As will be hereinafter described in more detail, theconnector pins 34 are sized to make a clearance fit with theopenings 28. The spacing of theconnector pins 34, in each wall ofconnector pins 34 varies and the spacing of the correspondingconnector pin openings 28 varies in the same manner. This allows eachside plate edge plate 16 only when a particular end of theside plates FIG. 3 , the upper twoconnector pins 34 on each side edge of theedge plate 16 are spaced apart the same distance as the upper twoconnector pin openings 28. The bottom threeconnector pins 34 on each edge of theedge plate 16 are spaced apart a distance equal to the spacing of the bottom threeconnector pin openings 28. When theconnector pins 34 are in theconnector pin openings 28, and theside plates edge plate 16, thegauge openings 50 inside plate 18 are in alignment with thegauge openings side plate 20. - The template is installed by setting the
plug 30 into thelock plate recess 28. Either before or after theside plates edge plates 16 by use of theconnector pins 34 in theconnector pin openings 28. For example, theedge plate 16 may be installed by itself, with theplug 30 extending into therecess 38. Then,side plate 18 may be installed on its side of theedge plate 16 andside plate 20 may be installed on its side of theedge plate 16. As shown byFIG. 7 , theconnector pins 34 makes a clearance fit with theconnector pin openings 28. As a result, theside plates door 14. If the surfaces are uneven and/or are not parallel, there will be movement at theconnections side plates connections FIG. 4 shows a slight divergence of theside plates edge plate 16.FIG. 5 shows theside plates FIG. 6 shows a slight convergence of theside plates edge plate 16. This construction of thetemplate 10 allows a quick placement of theedge plate 16 against theedge 26 of thedoor 14, followed by a quick placement of theside plates sides door 14, with the connector pins 34 within the connector pins 34 within theconnector pin openings 28. Then, a C-clamp can be installed for the purpose of pressing theside plates door 14. When thetemplate 10 is secured to thedoor 14 in this manner, the two sets ofgauge openings side plate 18 and then drill through the door until the drill bit passes through the gauge opening 48 inside plate 20. The number of holes that are drilled, and the sizes of the holes, are determined by the particular lock set that is being installed on thedoor 14. After the holes are formed, the clamp is removed, theside plates edge plate 16 andedge plate 16 is moved away from thedoor edge 26. - The
template 10 may be provided with a plurality of different sizes ofplug 30, one for each type of lock set that exists to be installed. - The illustrated embodiment is only an example of the present invention and, therefore, is non-limitive. It is to be understood that many changes in the particular structure, materials and features of the invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is my intention that my patent rights not be limited by the particular embodiment that is illustrated and described herein but is to be determined by the following claims, construed by use of the established rules of patent claim construction.
