When mortise cylinders and lock cases are new they screw together without a problem. Often times a mortise cylinder is forced out of a lock without loosening the retaining screw. Other times an inexperienced person will force a mortise cylinder into a lock crooked. These actions result in stripping the threads of the cylinder or the lock case itself.
The HPC Mortise Cylinder Lock Tap & Die Set was designed to repair this type of damage. The Tap can easily be twisted into a stripped lock case cutting new useable threads into an otherwise ruined lock. The Holding Fixture secures a stripped mortise cylinder in your vise while you use the Die to repair the threads. The Tap and Die are available separately and come complete in a metal storage box. |

- Great for custom tool & security boxes that use mortise locks, in custom mechanisms. Review by Seth

I can salvage mechanisms that cost $400 each, and have 6-8 week lead times, getting trucks that cost $400 an hour to rent, back on the job, sooner, and ready to go back to work, earning my customers MONEY. One box costs $3500 installed. Fixing the lock might take a day, but it beats welding new boxes onto the truck, while it sits idle, taking up garage space. These trucks can earn $5000 an hour, or more. The tools and controls need to be locked up safe & secure! I have rebuilt quite a few oddball spreader bar roll up door security boxes on concrete pumps, explosives pumps, excavation rigs, cranes, etc. It's not a great tap & die set, but fix one proprietary locking mechanism, and it's paid for itself 4x over.
