HPC Mortise Cylinder Taps & Dies

Introduction

The HPC Mortise Lock Cylinder Taps and Dies are indispendable tools for professional locksmiths.

When mortise cylinders and lock cases are connected without a problem. However, often 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 or come complete in a metal storage box.
