As someone who just used this kit to install a deadbolt through a metal door, I suggest you clamp the jig in place very tightly and check to make sure it stays in place the entire time. It can slip and result in an angled cut if you're not careful. Also, if the hole saw gets stuck to the arbor, you can use an impact driver to get it free, there are several videos here on RUclips that show how to do it.
I just wonder why this Dewalt doesn't come with a spade bit to make the whole on the door frame where the dead bolt sits after door is locked, as that would make it a complete door lock kit as of right now it's a half of door kit without the spade bit. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video, but you seem to have left out a critical part. How do you drill the hole in the door frame that the deadbolt goes into? Also getting the latch plate on there seems to be one of the trickiest parts. The parts you demonstrated are what I already knew how to do.
Hi! I bought this kit, and was trying to use it. When I try to drill through my door, my drill try’s to turn and then stops. The drill settings is on hi, am I doing something wrong?
I just opened mine and found the large hole saw felt too tight fitting into the guide. Did I just get an odd lemon? Did you find it difficult to get the hole saw into the guide?
Did the camp holding the jig in place get in the way when drilling the larger hole? Seems like the clamp is in the area of where the drill bit would come out through the door
yeah if i remember correctly the drill hit the black plastic. not really a big deal but they should have designed it over out of the way a little more. I'm assuming my hole wasn't perfectly straight and that's why i hit it
How do I make sure I drill straight and not have this problem? I am pretty good at eyeballing something being level but I want to avoid even minor issues as I am a novice and don’t know how to fix even little problems if they arise.
I think so but I'm not 100% sure. I checked dewalts website and it says "two adjustable bushings which accept both standard backsets and both common door thicknesses"
@@BorsellinoHomeServices common door tickness was 1⅜ and sometime 1½ i can install without something like this but for efficiency i would like to order 1 .
Great question! It's a shared living space for visiting artist's and there was a long-term visiting artist and there was an issue with other visitors using her washer and dryer!!! So we had to lock them out even though it's technically a shared space
Why didn’t you drill the other side of door frame where the striker plate goes on? That’s the info. I’m looking for . We need to know how that’s measured so the deadbolt goes in the right place. You just did half of the job

thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much for showing how to detachthe bigger hole saw!!! Extremely helpful, exactly what I was searching for.
Thank you for posting this simple straight to the point video.
So helpful ((way more instruction than the manual)) thanks!!

What about the door jam?

What do you use to install hole into jamb?
I normally use a 1" spade bit and then chisel out where the latch goes

Low battery maybe.... sounds like a drill issue rather than a jig issue,

hmmm i don't recall having any difficulty with it

Is this self center?
Can 1 ¾ or 2" door fit in?
I think so but I'm not 100% sure. I checked dewalts website and it says "two adjustable bushings which accept both standard backsets and both common door thicknesses"

Awesome video...thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Why are you installing a deadbolt on what appears to be an interior door?
