Milescraft 1338 Lock Mate PLUS – Self Clamping, Professional Door Lock Installation Kit, Door Lock Jig for Wood/Metal Doors with 1-3/8” and 1-3/4” Thickness. Bi-Metal Cobalt Hole Saws Included

I have used this a few times now and this door lock jig works well, the clamping is tight, no sliding on the door face and the metal inserts will make this jig last longer than other jigs that are only plastic.

Es una plantilla de gran utilidad y su calidad es de las mejorcitas que hay en el mercado, la mayoria son de plastico, esta tambien, pero la diferencia es que tiene un anillo de metal que ayuda a que no se desgaste al momento de perforar, me gusto mucho y me ayudo mucho en mi trabajo, con ella instalé tres puertas de tambor en un tiempo considerable. La recomiendo

Absolutely top notch. I bought an older home with backsets that were short, and holes that were too small... as there was already a hole there and I just needed to nudge it over and enlarge it, this method was the only way. I looked at the cheaper plastic versions but as I had so many doors to do, I wanted something that would last. Well, I'm SO GLAD I chose this one. It's well made, it's adjustable, it's sturdy, and the clamping mechanism is built in and simple to use. The hole saws provided with it, and the arbor, are well made and show no signs of giving up, even after 14 doors. I was having a laugh while using it because I was talking to myself and thought 'You should be recording a commercial for this thing right now' Very impressed.

The jig clamped securely to the door and made matching the holes a snap. The metal inserts make it feel more sturdy also. The hole saws were of good quality although having used them once I cannot speak to durability. I had to widen the hole for the knob as there was already a knob but no deadbolt on this door. The old hardware was smaller than new stuff so I had to solve that issue and using the smaller hole saw to line up the jig worked great. I was afraid that it would not work as well since I wouldn’t see the pilot hole and just had to go all the way through from one side. The saw and jig did great and I didn’t have a jagged exit on the other side. FWIW it was a wooden door. The only difficulty, and this is not unusual of this kind of hole saw, is that getting them off the adapter is tough. I hit the thing with penetrating oil and it helped but the adapter for larger one is pretty stuck. Fortunately that doesn’t keep you from getting the smaller one on the pilot drill and the smaller one is easier to remove. If you need to install door hardware, this kit is well worth it.

Es fácil de usar y de manipular. Solo vean un tutorial de uso y eso es todo.
