Mortise drilling template

A drilling template for carving a flange cavity into a door edge or door jamb which comprises:

• an elongated body comprising a substantially flat central portion having parallel lateral edges and a central line;
• two legs projecting orthogonally in the same direction respectively from said lateral edges;
• wherein said central portion has at least one transverse bore along and perpendicular to said central line;
• and
• wherein a distal section of each of said legs tapers down to a sharp edge.
