HPC CLTD-5 Mortise Cylinder Tap & Die Set

When mortise cylinders and lock cases are new they screw together without a problem. However, often times 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.
