Big Horn 70125 Wood Door Lock Installation Kit, with Strike & Latch Mortiser Replace Templaco BJ-102-C3

Ease of use makes a user friendly device. This is a tool used in our shop on a regular basis for bore and notching doors. Recommended

I currently have a big horn door knob routing set and it’s old but very sturdy. The new one I ordered is just not as sturdy as the old one and feels like it would break if you drop it so I just returned it. I would need to find another brand

I bought it to bore holes in several doors. The jig will fit well on average thickness doors. I’d say maximum thickness is 2-1/4” thick. Go easy on the forstner bits and you should be happy.

This product is a blatant cheat/copy of a well-made tool that can be found at templaco.com. There has been a considerable amount of work put into making it look identical but the quality is crap. don’t waste your money here, these people are shameless.

Very solid product! Even better than I hoped. The only issue is, as with all of these types of bores, is that you have to be careful when drilling the striker hole that the 2” bit doesn’t wander back in and jamb into the spinning 1” auger or you will need a “dentist” to put new carbides on. I had put a spring and cir-clip on my old one but was running out of travel and interfering with the quick connector. (Good idea though for Bighorn v 2.0)

As an high end carpenter this doesn't meet my standards all boring bits came already dull as well marking tools with very cheap Bladding that it just splits the wood around ..Best from this might be the plastic box that the set comes with ..
