Fitting strike plates in frame

Before you can install a strike plate, first mark the place on the frame where the latch bolt of the mortise lock will have to fall into the frame. Once you have marked out that spot, use a simple wood chisel to make a recess in the frame for this latch bolt. A latch bolt protrudes about 1 cm from the lock, make the recess about 1 to 1.5 cm deep, then also cut out the surface area of the strike plates with a chisel. Do this only a Couple of mm deep, keeping the thickness of the strike plates. Now place the strike plates to cover the hole and wrap the lip around the frame.
