Clean Cuts
Although this is a plastic device, it held position very well and delivered clean holes. Yes, there was a bit of chewing out of the plastic drill bit guide, it should last for more doors than I will ever likely need to drill.

Worked well.

Works well, but check for replacement guide sleeves.
The larger hole saw has some cutting teeth that turn slightly outwards and this is fine for cutting, even my steel plated door. However the plastic guide sleeve is consumed on one use. The OD those outward teeth cut into the plastic sleeve. I hope finding a replacement sleeve isn't to difficult.

Works great. Good Dewalt quality.
I bought this to install a lock set and deadbolt in a new steel entry door. It was easy to use and made clean cuts through the steel on both sides of the door. It is sturdy and clamped tightly to the door and did not move when I was drilling. Don't press real hard when cutting through steel, and remember to back off every 5 or 10 seconds to let the cuttings clear the teeth. It will make a nice clean cut. Hold on to your drill firmly because when it finally cuts through the steel, it will grab and you need to stay in control of the drill. Very happy with this purchase. I wish I didn't have to buy it, but the bolt locations in the door jamb were at a non-standard height so I had to custom drill this door. The teeth on the two hole saws still feel quite sharp so I imagine this unit will drill several doors before the hole saws need to be sharpened or replaced.

No, I don't believe it has a template for this because it's meant to be used to cut a hole in your door to install a handle and mechanism for locking the door. I saw a video that shows there's an Irwin version that comes with a hinge template. I can't personally vouch for it, but Search Amazon for \"Irwin Industrial Tool 3111001 Carbon Door Lock Installation Kit\"."}}]}]}
