Pro Tips

• For metal doors, ensure you use bi-metal hole saws and drill bits rated for metal cutting.
• When drilling wood doors, drill halfway from each side to prevent splintering around the exit hole.
• A sharp utility knife can be used to score the faceplate outline before chiseling for cleaner edges if a router is not used.
• Clamp the jig as tightly as possible to eliminate any movement during drilling.
• Always measure the door thickness and check the lockset’s requirements before starting.
