Locking the Butler's Desk

Good morning! I'm on the home stretch now, wrapping up what's left to complete the Butler's desk. I've finished installing the lock for the desk drawer and detailed the installation here;

I hope this might come in handy for those of you installing full mortise locks into cabinetry, of which there are not many (if any) tutorials online.

Very good Brian. It appears that you may be ready for quadrant hinges now:).

Hah! Funny that you should mention that :D

They're next on the to-do list and while I can't do quadrant hinges (I have a drawer underneath) I am wracking my brains trying to work out a stay.
