Amen to that. For such a simple jig I don't understand why the better metal ones are hundreds of dollars. It's ridiculous

The plastic cuttout for the holes is ok. However, the router template need to be made of metal IMO. Again, taking the doors down allows better control of power tools and less risk of damaging the guide.
Well, somebody has to cut the hole out at some point, my guy
You can buy them pre "bored" it makes the slab $5 more at Home Depot. It's definitely worth the extra $5 if you can get away with using the existing strike plate on the door frame.
Not only is the hole for the door knob already cut, but the hole for the latch is also cut. Sometimes, they're not perfect, so I check before I get them to the jobsite.

The answer is yes and no.
There are doors without the hole. Then there are also doors that have a hole.
However, if you're replacing an existing door and the strike plate is already cut into the door jam, you better hope if you buy a pre-drilled door the hole is centered where the strike plate is.
Best bet is get a door without a hole, one of these guides, then use the hole saw on one side, drill about halfway through the door, then go on the opposite side and use the hole saw to drill through the remaining half.
Bunch of YouTube videos online showing what to do.
Will also need to use a router or chisel for the hinges.
It's a whole process.
Side note:
Harbor freight has something similar to this. However, it's $10:

Same for the each of the hole saws.
So of course you're going to get bottom of the barrel quality with a kit like this, when buying the arbor and the two hole saws would otherwise cost you $30+ by themselves if bought separately.
