I love that you mentioned the auger. I found out the hard way that they do get really tight. In fact, I couldn’t get it off. I took it to two different hardware stores before one of the gentlemen had to use a vice and a wrench to get it off. I finally bought one of those that you recommended it cost me about 30 bucks, it is worth it!
Across the pond 74 years old and never “saw” this one coming great idea and it’s easy and works thanks!
This is the only fix I've ever found to enlarge a latch hole. I've been searching on-and-off for more than 5 years. Tk you soooo much!
I have noticed in the past that smaller diameter hole saws were deeper than the wider ones. This makes total sense and saved me big time. Can't believe they didn't cover this in shop class.
thanks! just the trick I needed to fix a door with an old sized bore hole. stay safe and best wishes!
So simple. Why have I never thought of this before? What a great solution to a common problem. Thanks for the tip!!
Well I jus looked at 6 videos of getting 4 holes I made in my twin subwoofer box bigger. Came across this video......and all I can saw is " absolutely brilliant " this one will stay with me.
Could you please link what arbor you are using? I have a starrett A2 and there isn't enough thread left to put another holesaw inside. Thanks.
Very helpful mate, saved me a lot time, now subscribed! Cheers 👍
Great ideas and thank you for sharing them. Cheers!
Ok, that was awesome! Thanks for sharing this idea.
This just got me out of a pinch. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Great idea!!! Worked perfectly........
thanks brother, I've had this problem many times.
Thanks, that's a great tip and well explained - Cheers
Brilliant and so simple ... thanks
Great tip, thanks.
This is genius. Thank you!
Excellent!!!
Thanks, saved me lots of time
a great video and very very helpful
Top tips!
Brilliant!
Great tip thanks mate
Very good, thank you.
Was helpful. Thanks
Good stuff Thanks!!!
Another trick is to use washer, fibre washers, a piece or solder wound around the last thread, or the groove works even better.
Only works if you're using the Sutton branded hole saws though, there is no thread on the other side of the auger for most other brands. The simplest trick is to just cut a square bit of plywood say 16-19mm thick to 200x200 or so and drill it out with the hole size you need then line it up based off of the measurements required 60-65/70-75mm pitch from the door edge etc. Clamp it over the existing hole and then drill away as the plywood is a guide. (Just done three doors using that method today).
Fantastic
Awesome thank you, :)
awsome
Thank you just bought an older house and the knock home is to small for a newer handle I think this will work
Ridiculously simple. Why couldn't I work this out?
Will this work well with a metal door with a wood core?
If your arbor happens to have enough length of thread you can double up hole saws, otherwise you need to get one of those "oops" arbors like the Starrett KA19-N
Nice intro
Thanks
you can also take the hole saw bit out put the larger bit on and then put the older one back in and use it as the arbor
This a great tip thanks, I have one question and that's is there a drill you recommend for this type of job?? Like power?
What is the adaptor called? Thank you.
Mine does not screw in the same way? Thank you! My saws don’t have those pin holes either!
Where can I find that bit
Unfortunately, the problem is that the larger hole lock usually has a longer backset so this will not work in that situation. For example, I have a small hole that has a 2 3/8" backset whereas the larger commercial deadbolt has a 2 3/4" backset that cannot be changed.
Very helpful tip. I just found your intro a bit long.
Love the video because it makes the task seem very do-able. However would help to just mention standard size holes in doors and standard increases in sizes these days. Also mention auger sizes, brands, or helpful lead to locate, like for handyman for dummies............like this dummy.
Now I know.
As a plumber I have cut some horrible holes
Not all hole saws have extra threads!
New tool coming to the market soon!
