I've seen several videos demonstrating this tool, but yours was the first that showed how to use the strike plate locator. You have no idea how much time and effort and frustration you just saved me from! Thanks.

I've had one of these kits for several years myself and love it! I use it all the time! Just one thing I learned very early on with this kit or ANY other brand... I only use the kit to get my holes started, then remove it. Why? Because the bits get HOT and they will melt the plastic! You don't really NEED to leave the kit attached once you get your pilot holes started. It's saved me from having to replace the plastic kit all the time. Just a trick I learned. Oh, and I sure hope this was not a customer's door since your second side got a nice mark from when your hole saw rode across it. Don't worry, I've done that a time or two but not in several years since I taught myself little tricks to avoid it. I can't afford to replace a customer's door because of MY mistakes. Anyway, nice video! Just thought I'd throw in the fact that it's best to just get your initial drill pilot holes started THEN REMOVE THE KIT. You'll avoid melting it from the hot hole saws.

When I am drilling a door face I use painters tape or masking tape on the wood surfaces which minimizes the risk of splintering or scuffing the surfaces such as what occurred on the backside of the door/knob hole. I also spray the edges of my hole saws with silicone spray which helps to cut friction and slide through the wood easier. I do this on my table and chop saw blades as well.

Thanks so much for the impact driver tip to remove the hole saw! Much appreciated.

[yayo]

Thank you so much. This video helped us out so much. The directions were not clear at all. You helped out a million.

[jasonscott]

I don’t leave comments normally. But thank you very much for the tip to release the whole saw bit

[rookdawg]

Thank you! I wasn't sure how that Auto Strike feature was supposed to work. Your video was very helpful.

[bklynvadc]

Nice video. Just what I needed to cut my doorknob hole. Keep up the good work. Your subscribers will grow fast because you’re great at explaining and showing other angles others wouldn’t think about. Good luck.

Are we all going to ignore that he gouged the F out of the face of the door when he started drilling the knob hole from the other side?

Great short concise video, 1000 thanks. 🙂

Very nice video thank you for your excellent advise. I went ahead and purchased the Ryobi door knob installation jig which made re-drilling the main 2 1/8" holes very easy. The original holes were made with drill bits requiring all 4 to be re-drilled. Drilling the new holes was easy and very accurate and time saving. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to use the strike locator which is not indented like the one on your jig. Other than the strike locator the jig works great.

Ryobi door fixing but using a Dewalt drill…how hilarious is that 😂😂😂😂😂

[jorrba]

Thanks for the video. Wish me luck. I'm planning to do three wood doors this weekend. This will be my first time working on a project like this.
Do you have a video on shaving off the The width and height on a door?

[chrisestrella]

I don't have an impact driver but did try using my drill in reverse and holding the hole saw to try and remove it. Was too tight on the drill bit to work, and one time was really close to cutting my hand! Gave up after that and just used a pair of large pliers on each piece to remove it. One time it even took two people (two hands on each pair of pliers) to twist it off. Thing gets stuck real good!

[melissamika]

So essentially you only need the auto strike locator if there is already a strike plate on the jamb? I've got to make a new hole for the strike plate. Thanks for the video, just what I needed!

[WApnj]

Damn dude you need to hold the drill with both hands at all times 4:38

[niktarasyuk]

good, informative video... particularly thanks for showing how to use strike locator (it's for existing plates or for when you put the plate first!)
How did you replace the hole saw between sizes? mine seized up after using larger one first, puzzled how to get it off....

is it a 1 inch spade bit that comes with the kit
