COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Holder for Mortise Locks and other Fastenings.
SAMUEL WELTON JOHNSON Hardware Merchant 16 Moseley Street Bir-
mingham do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The object of this invention is to obviate the necessity of mortising a door after
it is hung for the reception of a mortise lock or latch, which necessitates the cutting
away of nearly all the tenon and materially weakening the door.
The application of a metal case or holder for mortise locks and latches, the said
case or holder being fixed in and bound up with the door, when the door is in
course of construction, for the reception of the mortise lock or latch after the door
is hinged.
In using the lock holder which is fixed in position when the door is being
constructed, the holder after being put into position is wedged and bound up with
the door and the holder being wedged immoveably to the style and rail, acts as a
tenon making the door stronger than if the holder had not been inserted. By using
the lock holder a mortise lock or latch can at any time be removed for repairs or
cleaning without in any way marking or damaging the door.
The lock holder may be inserted after the door is hinged, if found necessary. In
order that the invention may be more clearly understood I have prepared the
accompanying drawings-
Fig. 1. Front elevation as shown when holder is fixed in door.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
ion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The adoption of a case or lock holder, in brass or other metal or material, for
nsertion in a door in course of construction, or afterwards if found necessary, or in
any other required position for receiving a mortise lock or latch.
I do not confine myself to the shapes and sizes as drawn, but claim to make in
any size or configuration to suit all kinds of strait, upright, centre bit, tubular, and
all other kinds of mortise locks, latches, and bolts.
