 Too Much Jiggle in this Jig September 28, 2008
D. Siegal (Lowell, MA USA)
When you drill a hole for a lockset, it's recommended that you drill halfway in from each side so as not to mar the door's surfaces. This makes lining up your approaches crucial, and this jig is supposed to help. (I bought the #17105 - the version for wood doors).
The problem is that there is too much wiggle in the apparatus, and sure enough, my holes did not line up. I think I could have done a better job freehanding it.
There were more expensive jigs to choose from, but I thought "why spend a lot on a tool I'll only use a few time?" Now I have my answer - because replacing a door is expensive.
Pass on this tool.
didn't work for me August 14, 2005

This is mostly plastic and wiggles way too much - the hole saw caught on the first door I tried, and walked away from where it should have been (the plastic isn't strong enough to keep it in place). The centering function on the end of the door is poor as well. I threw mine in the trash. Look on ebay - you can find old models (From other manufacturers) that were made from metal.
 Good valuable tool for door lock installations June 8, 2004

This little gadget works very well in helping to install locks in standard-sized doors. Simply screw the guide onto the door edge and drill the two holes for the locks with the included hole saws. However, the hole saws supplied are not that great. They will dull pretty quickly. Anyway, for the inexpensive cost this set is a pretty good value.
