Locinox LAKQ & LAKZ Installation Jigs

prusaprinters

<p>I had to install a new lock on my house gate and i selected a Locinox LAKQ. This is designed to install on a 40x40 mm square tube.</p><p>There are a series holes to be drilled with a precise spacing and various diameters. The most difficult part is that for each holes there is a counter bore to drill in perfect alignment. The hole and counter bore are not necesarily of the same diameter. I created a series of jigs to facilitate this operation. There is one jig made to drill the initial centering holes with the proper placement and then 3 individual jigs to perfectly align the counter bore. Please follow the utilisation procedure for more information.</p><p>There are:</p><ul><li>x4 18 mm holes, two on the front and two other counter bore.</li><li>x2 15 mm holes</li><li>x2 9 mm counter bore</li></ul><p>Here is the installation drawing found from the <a href="https://www.locinox.com/en-gb/gate-hardware/locks/standard-locks/surface-mounted-gate-lock-lakqu2">manufacturer website</a>.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/271286/rich_content/03bb732e-6947-4df1-996e-476e510d33cf/lakqu2__dimensions_1280px.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%221305599e-ad0d-4c19-936b-79b486375a9c%22%2C%22w%22%3A1280%2C%22h%22%3A1037%7D"></figure><p>You can also review my related model <a href="https://www.printables.com/fr/model/273947-locinox-lakq-lakz-accessories">Locinox LAKQ &amp; LAKZ Accessories</a>.</p><h4>Printing</h4><p>I recommand printing at .2 mm layer height with 4 périmètres. We need the perimeter to be strong to use as a jig. I recommend printing in PTFE.</p><h4>How To Use</h4><p>⚠️ Drill at a reasonable speed and concider using cutting oil to avoid high temperature when using the plastic printed jigs.</p><ol><li>Place the drilling profile plate to the proper location. Fasten the plate using a clamp or &nbsp;zip ties for exemple.<br>⚠️ Make sure the orientation is correct, the drills are not symetric. The two closest slots should be up.&nbsp;</li><li>Drill the four centering holes using a 4 mm drill.</li><li>Drill the 4 final holes on the front using the previously created center hole.&nbsp;<ol><li>18 mm (x2)</li><li>15 mm (x2)</li></ol></li><li>Use the 18 - 4 centering jig to drill two 4 mm counter bore on the 18 mm holes made on step 3.1.</li><li>Drill the two final 18 mm counter bores.</li><li>Use the 15 - 4 centering jig to drill two 4 mm counter bore on the 15 mm drill made on step 3.2.<br><i>This step is optional as you can go to next step and drill the 9 mm holes directly but i recommend to start with 4 mm center holes for better results.</i></li><li>Use the 15 - 9 centering jig to drill the two final 9 mm counter bores.</li></ol>
