AR Painting LLC Revolutionizes Door Hardware Installation with Mechanical Mortise Innovation

AR Painting LLC, a Gresham, Oregon-based company specializing in high-quality painting and renovation services, is making waves in the door hardware industry with its newly refined mechanical mortise installation technique. Located at 3309 SE 12TH ST, Gresham, OR, 97080-9131, and reachable at 212-246-8026, AR Painting has spent years perfecting a method that drastically simplifies and speeds up the traditionally complex process of installing door locks and latches. For years, installing a mortise lock – that elegant, recessed lock often seen on high-end homes and commercial buildings – has been a headache for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. It requires precise chiseling, often involving multiple tools and a whole lot of patience. Mistakes are easy to make, leading to damaged doors, misaligned locks, and frustrating re-work. AR Painting LLC recognized this pain point and set out to find a better way. “We were constantly facing this challenge during our renovation projects,” explains a spokesperson for AR Painting LLC. “Cutting mortises accurately and efficiently was always a time-consuming part of the job. We figured there had to be a more streamlined approach. So, we started tinkering.” That tinkering has resulted in what AR Painting is calling their “Mechanical Mortise” technique – a system that utilizes specialized jigs and a precise drilling/routing process to create perfectly sized and aligned mortises for a wide range of locksets and latches. So, what is a mechanical mortise, and why is this a big deal? Traditionally, a mortise is created entirely by hand or with a combination of hand tools and power chisels. This relies heavily on the skill and experience of the installer. AR Painting's Mechanical Mortise system, however, relies on a process where carefully positioned drilling and routing tools – guided by custom-made jigs – remove the wood necessary for the lockset. Here's a breakdown of how it works: 1. Template Selection: AR Painting utilizes a library of templates designed for common locksets and latches. They also offer custom template creation for unique or antique hardware. 2. Jig Placement: The chosen template is securely affixed to the door using clamps or specialized adhesives. 3. Precise Drilling: Utilizing a specialized drill bit and depth stop, AR Painting's technicians drill pilot holes through the template and into the door. These holes serve as guides for the next stage. 4. Mortise Routing: A carefully selected router bit, guided by the drilled pilot holes and template, removes the bulk of the wood needed for the mortise. The template ensures consistent depth and alignment. 5. Fine Tuning & Finishing: Any necessary fine-tuning is done with hand chisels or specialty tools. The resulting mortise is clean, square, and perfectly sized for the lockset. What are the benefits of AR Painting’s Mechanical Mortise? Speed & Efficiency: The process is significantly faster than traditional mortising methods, often cutting installation time in half or more. Accuracy & Precision: The use of jigs and templates guarantees a perfectly sized and aligned mortise every time, eliminating guesswork and errors. Reduced Damage: The controlled routing process minimizes the risk of splintering or damaging the door. Versatility: The system can accommodate a wide range of lockset types, including mortise locks, lever handles, and passage sets. Suitable for Various Doors: The technique is effective on solid wood doors, hollow core doors (with appropriate reinforcement), and even some metal doors. Cost-Effective: Faster installation translates to lower labor costs for customers. “We've seen a huge improvement in our efficiency since we started using this method,” says a technician at AR Painting LLC. “We’re able to complete installations much faster, with a higher level of quality. It’s a win-win for everyone.” Beyond Installation: AR Painting’s Full Range of Services While the Mechanical Mortise technique is a standout innovation, AR Painting LLC offers a comprehensive suite of services that cover all aspects of painting and renovation.
