Consumer Critiques

I have a 30+ year-old residence and we're updating all of the locks and doorknobs. Quite a few of the previous holes are as well modest for the hardware that we've chosen, and I needed a way to drill them out. If you've ever tried to use a hole saw without a guide bit, it's at most effective an ugly situation. This tool fit the bill and has been ideal for the job.
It really is not for professionals, but those kits price $150 and up. For the price, you get terrific value. This kit comes with a router bit and template for the door hinges, a template for chiseling out strike plates, and two hole saws (one particular for the knob, one particular for the lockset itself on the side of the door) and the guide, which is adjustable to both two three/eight" and 2 3/4" offsets.
It does the job really nicely. Just keep in mind to drill the knob hole from every single side and meet in the center of the door. If you try to drill via and aren't 100% aligned you will chew up the other side of the guide which is produced out of plastic. Not that I did that or anything.

Worked outstanding for me! Yes, some of the components are plastic and move a small, but you have to take your time and let the tools do the operate. It has held up good for me.
