KVAL's Architect-DIDM II Mortise, Hinge & Lock Machine automatically positions, routes and bores architectural doors for hinges and mortise locks in about 60 seconds, door-to-door. Mortise locks in hard core material may take a few seconds longer. The 60-second cycle time also includes drilling hinge screw holes for 4-1/2" pockets.

This model has no face boring capability, which is to be provided by a KVAL FACE Routing and Drilling machine in line. The Face independently accomplishes all the face boring and detailing functions required for lever locks and mortise lock function holes, along with exit devices, card locks, and viewers. Auto-feed and auto-positioning are both available options.

This machine has no lock faceplate features or equipment. It relies on a KVAL EDGE PATRIOT II in-line, for these complimentary operations.

The "di" in the Architect's name stands for digital integration. A Windows-based computer system and 16 servo drives are integrated into the Architect-di to virtually eliminate set-up time and eliminate errors. All the adjustments listed below are fully-automatic and all of them are accomplished simultaneously in under 10 seconds.
