Would RecommendCut two holes that needed to be enlarged from 1 1/2" to 2 1/8" to fit new deadbolt and made the job real easy. I can see where the bushings may need to be replaced as they do show a bit of wear. Used a 1" steel rod where the deadbolt was to centre the unit worked perfectly. Also used a C clamp to prevent the unit from coming off the door. Altogether a great tool

Great product.
Would RecommendI've used this on hollow core door and on a solid core door and it worked very well. Yes, the hole saw does shred a bit ot the plastic but it still works quite well. Glad I bought it.

Good Enough for a quick Install
Would RecommendThis kit is good enough to have around for deadbolt or new locks,...BUT, the plastic jig wears to fast and the drill attachments got stock often but i mean this is for household toolbox not for like a contractor kind a thing.

Worked well
This worked very well for in enlarge the hole for my deadbolt on my front door. I did experience a little bit of slippage when using, but once I used a slower technique, it worked great.

Worked as expected
Would RecommendI think it worked just great. I had no issues. The only reason for not being five stars is that when drilling with the guide, the edges of the guide are slightly drilled away. Because of this, I question the longevity of the guide. That being said, I would easily expect to be able to use this without issue 4 or 5 more times.

Easy to use
Would RecommendQuality product, easy to use. The only thing that could make this better is if it came with a template for the door hinges too.

Spend the extra $$
Would RecommendI initially bought the irwin hole saw kit that was a couple bucks less. Needless to say it didn't hold up on the first try. I returned that and exchanged for this one...well worth the extra $5 - especially if you are enlarging a hole. For a new hole in a new door maybe the irwin will work. But, the clamping action on this model kept it in place and it worked for 3 enlarging 3 deadbolt holes. If you are drilling into metal and have more than a couple doors to do, be sure to buy an extra hole saw ...

Thumbs up
Would RecommendSearched many types of hole saw jigs for door handle/lock. Took a chance with dewalt. Not disappointed in the least. Held to door firmly each time used while the hole saw enlarged the original 1 5/8 “ to the new standard 2 1/8” in seconds. I was surprised how well it cut. Have done four doors with no adverse results.
