Hello,

We don't have a video but replacing a mortise lock with a faceplate is pretty straightforward in most cases. Once the handle is removed, you'll just remove the top and bottom installation screws from the faceplate and pull out the lock body. Then, replace your broken lock with the new one while making sure the spindle insert is at a 45-degree angle as shown on our product page. Once you reinstall the screws and handle set, you should be good to go. Please let us know if you run into any problems. Thank you!
