IRWIN Door Lock Installation Kit for Wooden Doors (3111001), Blue

Overall, the IRWIN Door Lock Installation Kit for Wooden Doors 3111001 is a handy tool for installing door locks. It is easy to use and highly recommended by customers. One of the standout features of this kit is its ease of use. Customers have found it to be a useful tool for installing door knobs and locks without any difficulties. It is particularly useful for new door installations. The kit includes both a small hole saw (7/8 inch) and a large hole saw (2 1/8 inch) which are suitable for most door lock installations. However, it's worth noting that the small hole saw may be smaller than the standard 1 inch size that some door locks require. The kit does not include a 1 inch drill, so users may need to purchase one separately. In terms of compatibility, the kit can be used on doors of various thicknesses. Users have successfully used it on both 1 1/4 inch and 2 1/4 inch thick doors. However, for thicker doors, it may require drilling a hole on both sides. Although the kit is made of plastic, it is sturdy enough for typical use. However, some customers have mentioned that it may not hold up well if used for multiple holes or with heavy-duty use. It is important to secure the jig tightly to avoid slipping during the drilling process, as it has a tendency to slip due to the thickness of the plastic. One minor drawback of the kit is that it does not include a hinge plate template, despite the photos and description suggesting otherwise. Customers have found this to be disappointing and inconvenient. In conclusion, the IRWIN Door Lock Installation Kit for Wooden Doors 3111001 is a reasonably priced and easy-to-use tool for installing door locks. It is recommended for those looking to install door locks without any fuss. However, if you require a hinge plate template, you may need to look for an alternative option.
