These things aren't terrible if you re only doing a door or two but if you're doing more than that I'd get something a lot more solid. Its easy to damage this or not have it fully aligned properly if you're trying to move fast. Wouldn't use plastic like this to drill into something very tough like metal.

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

Yea the hole saw just cuts through the plastic guide. And the bit broke after using it for 2 doors.

Used this on 6 hardwood doors a few years ago. The best advice I could share is to take the doors down and do this on saw horses for the face sides. Then do the bolt side with them either stood up on the hinge side (hinge removed) or elevated to eye level. Take your time on the bolt side with the router work. I learned the hard way and had to fine tune the first door. Not to mention having to keeping the door in place when on hinges in a pain.

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.

Do doors normally come with cut out holes for locks or do you need a kit like this to make the cut out?

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.

No if buying just the slab/door so installer can be sure to align it properly. If buying with the jamb that's pre-hunged with hinges then it's comes pre-drilled.

I got another cheap one from Amazon to enlarge old doors hole so I can use modern lockset. Worked on one door but doesn't fit a thicker door. There's no where in the description saying what thickness door it works on.

What does that have to do with this specific product?
