We’re converting this door from the existing mortise lockset to a roller catch and mortise deadbolt. The original mortise was a different size, so I filled the old latch and bolt locations with maple and epoxy, then reshaped the pocket to fit the new hardware.
Next is recessing the faceplate flush and drilling for the new deadbolt position. Once the door is back on-site, I’ll rework the jamb to accept the new hardware. Most houses have a statement piece. Before too long, this entire house will be the statement.
