Because they are using router bit, the corners are rounded.
Door shops will often use a router jig to remove the material around the crossbore (latch hole). Rounded corner faceplate latches are pretty common. No door prep other than bore hole and cross bore.Ĭons: Not quite as solid as larger faceplate styles, don't look quite as nice. If the 1" hole has a rectangular indentation around it where some of the door material has been removed, you'll need one of the following types of latches. How do you know? If the edge of your door is smooth with just a 1" hole for the latch, drive in will work. If your door is already prepped for a larger faceplate, these won't work. You don't have to chisel anything out of your door, just tap the latch into the hole (make sure the latch is placed in the correct direction) and you can install the knob or lever. The drive in latch is the easiest to install. I've included an image of how they look on the edge of your door so you can compare to what you have. First of all, let me describe the three most common types of door latches today.
Now for the trick: De-select the left and right strokes of the cell in the Control panel or the Strokes panel, and then (while only the top and bottom strokes are selected) choose the corner-only stroke.Ever wonder how the door latch mechanisms compare from brand to brand? Most people probably think very little about their door latches and how they are made, but I'm a door hardware geek, so it interests me. Set the thickness of the solid line stroke in the Stroke panel or the Control panel. Now select the cell (not the text) by pressing Esc (or choosing Table > Select > Cell) so you can adjust the strokes on each of the four sides. Next, it makes use of another classic trick: putting text inside a one-celled table in order to create cool effects.Īfter you have created a “corners-only custom stroke,” you can put a bracket around some text by making a one-celled (one column, one row) table and placing the text inside it. This trick relies on combining two other tricks: First, the corner-frame trick that Rufus came up with a couple of years ago and which I wrote about recently. Not only that, but he showed how to make a rounded-corner table (sort of), which many people have also requested! I banged on this problem for a bit, too, and was about to give up when Sander Pinkse from the Netherlands sent me the answer from out of the blue. After seeing your corner-only border segment, it reminded me of a problem that I hadn’t been able to solve: I want to make the right- and left-hand side of the text frame a square bracket so that anything I typed into it would elongate the brackets as I typed.
