I just got done using this tool on 29 doors. Not a single issue whatsoever. It does seem to get scractches on the bore guide, but in no way impeeds making the perfect hole. Best investment I've made yet. You *do* want to try *not* to go all the way through. It may leave splinters on the other side. Use the pilot hole to finish off the back side to avoid that.
My outdoor side gate is 2” thick. Will this work on it?
This just saved me so much time. As a new home homeowner and DIYer I never knew this tool exist..
Going to be getting this. I have 30 - 40 doors to do soon helping with hurricane recovery still in texas.
Thank you for sharing! Never had to drill to change door handles before and you've just made it the easiest process ever!
I'm a DIY homeowner and I've used this tool on an interior bedroom door. It works good. As a plastic tool (to keep the price low), it's not made for the pro's that are doing many doors. For the DIYer, that's going to do a door once in a while, it'll help you do the job. I hadn't used it in a while and I'm about to replace a bathroom and two bedroom hollow core doors and thought I'd watch a few videos to refresh my memory how to use it. Tip: use the old doors to line up the new doors for hinge and knob placements. I'll also be using the Ryobi hinge template and striker templates. BTW, thanks for the video!
Can never have too many kits and apps in this world! shaking head.
Just used it at home, worked great!, you are right. After 4 doors the plastic gets chewed up, its still usable, but something more durable would be great, I agree with your assessment 4 out of 5.
Back in the 70s on summer vacation we boys would go with the family (finish carpenters) to learn and help mostly base boards for the kids with good backs. But I remember the grown ups had nice metal jigs, I guess the plastic is for the home owner a few uses and cheap materials where the others professional way more money is ...... way more money.
I have used the same robi jig now for 3 yrs and yes I have to drill thru other holes that are small and I use 1/2 washer to hold the jig in place at the latch hole. cheers happy drilling
just bought one yesterday, pretty cheaply made im sure itll break within the next couple uses but its a life saver and real cheap
Where did you obtain from
@@diesalweasel Home Depot by the hole saw bits
You never want to cut straight through. Reason is it make a nice clean hole coming from Both sides. You can ruin the door surface by punching only from one side.
@@realitybeneathveils5687 why the hell is anyone that does this all the time even looking at videos about how to do it???
@@gp37128 well this is a review of the jig
@@skankhunt-ud1ju I understand very well what this is.
The problem is that you can't see the comment to which I was replying, which is the only way my comment would make sense to you.
Thanks though.
Robert w Sieburg
Interesting thanks
I was hoping it was gonna go through and ruin the door so he learns to teach it properly
I've got one and it's made the job so much easier,can be a little bit tight to undo the cutters from the drilling shaft,but really good always set the hole saw at maximum or you'll hit your knuckles on the door jam❤
Very helpful. I was able to install a new door lock yesterday perfectly using your video.
Installing a deadbolt tomorrow, and this helped a great deal especially since I already bought the Ryobi tool. Thanks
Thank you for walking me through this. It helped tremendously!
Was hoping to see how to use the strike plate alignment part of the tool to make the hole in the door frame.
I have a video on how to use it
@@HomeRepairHub a link would be really useful, since you have so many videos
Can’t believe there was a time when the videos didn’t have the personality you’re now famous for !
It’s flimsy compared to the all metal jig the local hardware store used to lend us. I added a clamp to the operation. The elongation of the mounting holes will be a problem as it can put slightly off center screw holes right close to where the backset holes belong. Keep your pilot bits short until your well into the door. My locks required the backset bore to go beyond and that spade bit was scary wild in the coarse particle board core. So I did the backset hole first and chased it beyond the big hole with a long 1/4” bit to help keep the spade bit inline. I also made a clamp on wooden jig with 2 fences at right angles to keep the deep 1” hole straight.
the auto strike plate locator is for when you are replacing old doors with new doors and the strike is already in place... so you know where to secure the jig and drill out the lock holes.... it's not for when you don't have a strike installed yet..
Thanks for the video. After seeing this I went ahead and ordered this - I've got a new custom oak front door waiting to find time to install it.
It probably be a good idea just mark the door using the hole saws the remove it to finish of to save wear
I have an Irwin model. Regardless of brand, these tools are invaluable to have in your tool crib. I highly recommend everyone pick a couple up when you come across them.
a couple ?
@The Sage , yep. I have two, but one is worn out. They are handy to have if you decide to take up any type of home repairs.
@@Morristowner ah I see . ..so here is the thing....I have a little project to do 24 doors and I bought 1 .... Am I screwed ? Give it to me straight mate
@The Sage , no. Doors are not cheap that's for sure. Is the client paying for the doors? Let me know if I can help you out in any way. Been doing renos for a few years now.
@@Morristowner have a small time workshop (for reference, 20 doors is a big order for us). its internal doors customer will get those premade pine doors. we are to shave some down to custom size, cut rebates and install hinges they will provide, and install knobs/locks too. then doors to be preped sealed, sanded primed and spray finished in high gloss white. thats the job really. never really done anything like it before. i usually make the custom doors and the customer finihses it them self,
Very good information. I am about to use this product on a door downstairs. Answered a lot of questions i needed to be answered.
Yeah got one thinking it's plastic but is a bit more solid than others lv used and got a very reasonable finish on a double rebate but l did use the template that came with the lock set and this did help with accuracy it was like about 35 bucks au so a couple of doors and it's paid for it self l also got a door latch install kit for like 21$ au and it works extremely well as long as you go easy on the hammer until you have it marked out spot on before pounding on it
One thing might be important is if your drill has a level on it use it to line up from hole to hole
Thanks for making the video! It saved me a lot of time.
Nice video, just what i was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks for video buddy, I bought it today, and I am going to try it. I want to enlarge the hole, I'll have my fingers crossed!!
I just tried with this kit , I enlarged the hole , it was very useful, but as you mentioned the quality is not good , and it's plastic, I broke the strike plate, and I also used clamp to fix it at door.
How to install a duro lock
8:20 you can always use self centering drill to pre drill holes.
Wish u would have showed me how to use the strike plate on this one tho
please tell me you or someone figured it out...
I want to see this done on a metal door
Good video, but go with the Milwaukee. Ryobi drill bit broke and the saw hole attachment got stuck to the bit. There are literally videos telling you to hold the sawbit with one hand while drilling in reverse. Better to have the drill bit and saw as 1 piece lest you are desperate to see the ER.
I actually have a review on the Milwaukee m great system
My drill bit got stuck to the pilot drill bit as well, going to buy another one and just keep it on there permanantly
Go with Dewalt. Tool Review Zone seems to like align themselves with Techtronic junk (Milwaukee and Ryobi), and Ridgid (Emerson Electric). All Home Depot crap.
The door that I’m using this on is a hollow core door and I’m having a hard time getting it to go through at all
Looks perfect 👍👍👍👍
Awesome. Thank you!
This is great info, but my boy, please link to the video where you use the other tool for the strike plate!
8:40 You don't understand the purpose of the locator. It is to set the height of the drill holes on the door using the existing strike plate.
Installing the deadbolt in the door is only half of what is required. Why not show the strike plate in the door jam?
Good video Please do same video but with medal door please thank you.
For the metal doors I tried the a few cheapo kits. The $20 masterforce set template is more solid tool but the hole saw not carbide. In a week I broke 3 pilot bits. Most residential metal doors dont have wood blocks or theres only partial blocks. Sucks because the 1/4 bit has no solid hold and suddenly takes off and breaks the bit ripping a GOUGE. So i had to reverse the drill. Useing half inch drill with side handel.
Any help please.
some washers in the screw hole...and something in the knob hole, still thinking on that
Thank you!
How about when buying a security door lock and the diameter is 1 center meter bigger then the door lock installation kit diameter size?
First thing, what’s the 1 inch spade bit for that comes with the kit and 2 you should link the video to the strike plate tool.
HELP!! Drilling the knob hole made the bit so tight that it won't unscrew to use on the latch hole.
Dave O'Brien
Me to dog gone am almost doing a dance of frustration. Oh am a woman so I can cry
Dave O'Brien
Me to after almost crying. I walked away came back and used the 1 inch spade bit. It fit right in.
This is why I am coming here and crying 😭!
Dave O'Brien Same thing happened to me, after my temper tantrum, stamping my feet. I screwed the latch on, that mark it for me. Then used my drill made a few holes then used a chisel and a hammer. Am a woman, not strong enough to release man that bit is on there. Ryobi needs to improve this part. Lots of people have said the same dog gone thing!
If you have an impact driver all you need is a nut driver bit set. The impact driver will loosen the hole saw.
I'm going to try it
Would you recommend the DeWalt kit over the Ryobi kit then? I've got to do this on an existing bathroom door where the bore hole is too small for all the new door knobs. Thanks for the video.
You saved me!!!
Haha, awesome 👊👊👊
Prefect vid, thanks!
What about "Thru-Bolt" holes? Many Lever Handle locksets require these holes.
Any tips for removing the bit from the first circular saw?
Yep
You can put a slotted (straight head) screwdriver through the openings nd turn it with it for more leverage
The video help me but the hardest thing about the Ryobi is to change from the big bit to the smaller bit and he didn’t show how to do that.
Jennifer Koestler you figure it out yet?
@@math8130 It was impossible to change the bit. so I just used the guide to drill a hole using a drill bit. thanks for checking. A flaw in the ryobi system.
Great job
Thanks Jes!
what speed is the drill?
Great👍I did my metal house door has foam inside.
I bought the drill kit bimetal hole saw with plastic template(craftman). I went slow but it wobbled and broke the center bit on hole saw.
Now the center hole was off. Yikes.
I tryed a new bit and it wobbled so i did reverse worked slowly and i got threw both sides ok.
i think if there was a wood backer block it would have held the bit better.
Any thoughts. Thanks for the great video. 👍
If you go very slow at first, you should be able to cut the hole without the pilot bit. As for it breaking off in the first place, it should not have done that. I have the Milwaukee kit also and never had that issue with it. Only thing I can think of is maybe the bit got too hot on the metal door and snapped. Maybe use some lubricant next time
Could you please provide a link to the Ryobi door strike installation kit video that you mention in this video?
How come u drilling in reverse?
Very helpful thank u
Any suggestions on if there’s already a hole but it isn’t the right size?
Trade her in for newer model lol
That main hole look way to big does it come in smaller size
You can adjust the size on this unit
1:16 lenth means "Back set"
will this work same for adding deadbolt to wood fence gate?
I can’t get the saw part off the drill
I dont have that second white drill hole thing..did u buy that
Whats that rectangle bracket on the side that folds?
The video is good but whats goin on with your hole saw you can buy new ones!!
What ab about if handle hole is 32 mm not 54, or a smaller hole
will the bits work on a metal door or should i buy new ones?
Problem I'm having is you need the strike plate to determine where you mount the tool and you need to mount the tool in order to use the strike plate. Tool just falls off as I try to align the strike plate @#$%!
8:48 Best Way to Do It Is The Way the Tool Was I tended to Be Used.
Came to specifically see how the strike plate locator gets used, srry
Great video. Can you use this to expand a smaller hole (from an older door and existing small handle) to the newer larger holes?
Yeah, but you just need to go very slow at first as you dont have a pilot hole to start with
Your a Home Depot man....
In what setting did you leaved it to do the big hole
Just put it on the low setting a d it should be fine
what is the name of the "bit that they give you." we might want to know that?
Ummmmm, a hole saw....
Help! How did you take the first saw bit off? Mine got stuck too tight!
Sometimes I have to use a vice Timothy
@@ToolReviewZone I see....now I know how to spell and what is vice. Thank you very much. I need one for future wood work. I was desperate so I used two screwdrivers to pry them apart.
Yeah sometimes I do that but sometimes bend the hole saw. I just use a cheap bench vice
Get Wax...itll help remove it...even if its candle wax
Man I tell ya this is frustrating. Am just going to buy new one for it. Bench press I don’t have set up. Wax. Honestly this would make for a good video
i understand this is 3 years old, but i just used it today and my door knob cutter piece is stuck on the drill bit. how did that happen and how can i get it to come off?
What did you do to fix this? Happened to me too..
@@essential1076 it was never fixed.
is it a one inch spade bit that comes with the kit
Would this kit work if I'm trying to expand an existing hole?
Its tricky but can be done of you go slowly
Sam L
Yep
how do you get the plug for the latch out? (since it's not like you're cutting it from both sides)
1:40 the setback will be read off the instructions that came with you knob kit:)
Instructions???? As a man, I simply refuse
can you demo how to do the frame part of the door? i cannot seem to find a video on that... do i just repeat on the opposite side with exact same thing? so the bolt on the lock will go into the wall? i haven't read my instructions yet but i am going to give it a go so i don't have to pay someone to do the install of a dead bolt. thanks!
Unfortunately this jig will not work on the door frame. I will look for a good video for you and send the link
+sunshine always powers wow, you are right, not to many vids for the jamb install. All I do is install the hinges on the door first. I then bring the door over to the jamb, and place two small 1/4" pieces of wood under the door to ensure I have a gap for the door to swing without dragging on the floir. Then just trace out the hinges on the jamb. Use the router to clear out the traced area (needs to be 1/8" deep). That's the easiest way to explain it without getting into measurements. Maybe I will post a vid on this soon
You install the lock. Put some lipstick on the bolt, close the door and flip the bolt to mark the frame with the lipstick. And use a 7/8 spade bit to cut the hole in the frame.
anybody know if this will work on a metal walk in garage door? thanx in advance
They make one for metal doors too.
It will be called: "Wood/Metal Door Lock Installation Kit" make sure you get that one because they make another one that only says "Wood" which I bought by mistake and had to return.
Does this product work with a door to make an existing hole larger?
It could work, but not each as the you dont have an area for the pilot bit to sink into. Just go slow as the hole saw could jump out of the jig
Nope...the only way to get a larger hole is to use a larger bore
how wide does it expand for door width?
If you didn't want to do the strike, at least put the link to it tho.
Do you have to use the drill bit to guide the circle bit thru the door? Or, is the clamp circle enough to guide the bit through the door itself? I ask this because I am replacing the doorknobs on my very old doors, and there is already a smaller hole through the middle of what I need cut. The size of the hole is currently too small for the new doorknob size. Since there is a smaller hole, there is nothing for the smaller bit to guide the larger bit thru the door. The doors are not solid. Do you think the clamp you put on the door is strong enough to use the larger bit without the help of the guide bit?
Hey Bobby,
It is ideal for you to use the pilot bit when using this, but you should be ok just using the hole jig. It may jump around a bit at first, but should be ok. Just make sure the screws are in tight before you begin.
Thank you for the reply. I have several doors I need done. They are all cheap doors. I have to sand and paint them anyhow. Thank you again.
+Bobby59 Any time. Let me know how it work out
Spray some vegetable oil on the hole saw
Nooice!
No lub?
Hey that's a ridgid drill. Lol
Same parent company
How well does this work on a metal/steel door?
+Collin Eichinger it works good on a metal skinned door. These bits are made for it. Ryobi also sells a wood door version, but this will be fine
@@ToolReviewZoneWhat's best for cheap mobile home door ?
👍👍👍
When is America getting into metric
1:36 Finger nail biter.
I can’t remove the large bit. The damned thing won’t come off.
You may need to put it in a vice. If not, use a screwdriver and put it in the slot and crank
The template was good nice and bright green .the cutting bore suck the milling was terrible made in China no don’t buy it. Buy made in America it’s worth the headaches.
You didn't even show to use the strike plate installer on the actual kit.
Good for johnny home owner, not good for the commercial sector
Hoping that the commercial sector isn't turning to youtube videos to learn how to do anything.......
Greg Phillips 😂👍
oh shit, who's Awake now! haha @@gp37128
why didn't you show how the strike plate locator works. If you are showing people how a tool, just bought, is supposed to work, all the way through the job. And your not even attempting to use it for those who did not know that they ''oh i shoulda bought the tool too" thanks a lot work snob...why review it if your just gonna whine the obvious inadequacies as if no one knows what they are as soon as they pick up the package. You left out a pretty important part of the ''review', such is was.
I literally have a whe separate video for that
way too much talk. try to streamline your words. painful to sit through all your wordiness.
