ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a latch face template which is used to guide a hand-held router in order to cut an opening for a latch face in the side of a door. The latch face template includes a rectangular base which has a top surface and a bottom surface and which also has a rectangular slot. A width varying mechanism varies the width of the rectangular slot and is mechanically coupled to the rectangular base. A guide stop controls the length of the opening for the latch face. A position varying mechanism varies the position of the latch face template on the side of the door. A securing mechanism secures the rectangular base to the door. The width varying mechanism includes a rectangular groove on the top surface of the rectangular base which is disposed adjacent to the rectangular slot, a first flat, rectangular bar which is disposed within the rectangular groove and adjustably coupled to the top surface of the rectangular base and a first adjusting mechanism which adjusts the position of the first flat, rectangular bar in order to adjust the width of the opening for the latch face in the side of the door. The position varying mechanism includes a second flat, rectangular bar and a second adjusting mechanism which adjusts the lateral position of the second flat, rectangular bar in order to adjust the position of the latch face template on the side of the door.
