Anyone up for making a door display mount?

…actually, I’m not even sure what to call it.

Basically, I have this beautiful display mount here–

–which is a wonderful help in demonstrating how to assemble and repair deadbolt and doorknob hardware. However, it has no frame, so we can’t show anything that has to do with a doorframe strike plate (misalignment problems, how and when the “credit card” trick works for jimmying doors open, etc.). And I have not found any such thing for sale anywhere.

Is anyone up for making such a thing? It would be great to have something about 12-15" square, with standard-sized holes and cavities for both a deadbolt and knob. Maybe we’d need just one hinge, since it would be on the short side. Frame would only need to be thick enough to take a 1" screw. And I’m not picky at all about wood type or finish - any recycled or salvaged material that’s fit for purpose would be wonderful.

I would be very happy to pay for materials and labor, if this project strikes your fancy!
