Drill holes for the handle and deadbolt
- 1.1 - Place the lock template on the door. Use masking tape to maintain in place.
- 1.2 - Check the size of the hole saw on the template, then insert into your drill.
- 1.3 - Drill or enlarge the holes where indicated.
- 1.4 - Take care: the drill must be perfectly level to square the hole.
- 1.5 - For a clean cut, drill from one side only until the hole saw touches through the other side, then drill from the other side.
- 1.6 - Insert a flat boring bit in your drill, first referring to the template for the correct size.
- 1.7 - Place the drill bit on the door jamb (side of the door) and drill the hole for the deadbolt. Keep the drill level to square the hole.
- 1.8 - Drill through to the lock hole. Repeat these steps for the hole for the handle, if necessary.
- 1.9 - Use sandpaper to smooth the edges of the holes.
