    Awesome Guide, worked well with the kit too. Only difference with mine was it was a steel door with wood interior, so the routing part does not work with steel. I had to "magiver" that section with some drill holes, a diamond bit rotary tool, and a chisel. Took some work but the job still got done. Thanks for the help on the video!

      Glad to hear! Yes, the wood bits don't do much against metal doors... And that's the tricky part. The metal and wood kits are not well marked so if a person doesn't know what to shop for, they usually end up with the wood kit because it's normally cheaper. Glad you were able to engineer a way around that! Thanks for the comment!

    @mikeswanson88 Год назад +24

    Be careful on some steel doors the wood is only near the location of the handle. If you go too high with the deadbolt you'll encounter foam directly behind the steel therefore have nothing to screw into when you route out the notch on the door edge. The location he installs it should be ok on almost all steel doors but up a few inches higher And you may encounter this problem as I did recently.

    On my exterior metal door i broke the new 1/4 drill bit.
    I started slow but the hole saw wobbled.
    I had used the plastic template on as shown. I tryed again with a new 1/4 bit. But it wobbled again i tryed to go in reverse. It worked good. All the way threw.
    When cuting metal roofs i reverse the blade.
    I called 3 lumber yards all have a different idea. One guy said i need a diamond grit hole saw.

    • @FastFixYouTube
      @FastFixYouTube  4 года назад

      How thick is the metal? If it’s a fireproof door you’ll spend more time making the hole and could run into issues as you described. I’m curious, where did the drill bit fail? Was it the hole saw itself or the 1/4 inch drive shaft that failed? Also, make sure you’re using a bit that’s made to cut metal. That is very important. The wood bits will not work well if at all. As far as diamond bits go, no. You don’t need that. Overkill in my opinion. A metal rated bit should do the trick.

  • @deaneng8540
    @deaneng8540 4 года назад +11

    Nice video. You had no issues drilling straight through the door for the knob such as coming through on the other side? I know on wood doors I have to only drill half way through otherwise if I break through to the other side it will chip and look awful, so I'll go half way through then flip the door over and drill through on the other side.

    • @FastFixYouTube
      @FastFixYouTube  4 года назад +1

      On a wooden door, I’d do exactly as you did. However, with this metal door I didn’t worry as much. Also, the locking mechanism was bulky enough to cover up any damage that may have been caused my an exiting auger bit. Thanks for the comment!

    • @FastFixYouTube
      @FastFixYouTube  4 года назад +1

      I would think so. The gauge of the steel in your case the door will be thicker than a non-fire steel door so you’ll probably spend more time auguring through to make the hole. But, that should be the only difference. If you have concerns, call the manufacturer and make certain. Best of luck.

      Hello. I’d check with the manufacturer if you can figure out who made the door. Fire doors may have differences that standard non-fire doors have. Or, go on the internet and investigate. I can’t imagine the door is entirely metal, but they may contain metal barriers inside for fire suppression. Let me know what you find out. Sorry if this wasn’t very helpful.

    You didnt show us or Tell us about that ROUTER BIT THAT YOU USED ON YOUR DRILL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, What was that??????

    • @FastFixYouTube
      @FastFixYouTube  3 года назад +2

      The very fact that you know about the router bit negates your argument that I didn’t tell you about it. Of course I did. I mentioned it in the intro. Maybe you skipped that part. Then I explained how to use it later. Maybe you skipped that too. The router bit came with the kit. There’s not much else to say. Hope this clears things up.

    With due respect..the title said "on metal door" so its a scam/ a lie ?"

      No, the door has a metal skin. That was the intent. Of course, not solid metal.

    ???? Metal door

    • @FastFixYouTube
      @FastFixYouTube  3 года назад

      Correct. Using the term “metal door” is used to describe doors with metal skin. Not to describe a door made of solid metal. Hope this clears things up.

      Hey there. Please look again. The skin is indeed made of metal. Albeit thin metal. The interior is foam...maybe hard to see on film.

    It helps with credibility if you reinstall the door knob the correct way/orientation.

      I agree, but I wouldn’t called it a gimmick. It really does work and helps the inexperienced to do the job without the fear of messing it up.
