Word of advice, buy the second arbor or at the least add a little axle grease or wd40 on the threads before you screw in the cutting saw to the arbor. Because what he isn't showing, is that when it binds, you need vice grip and pliers to remove it. You'll spend double the install time trying to remove it.
@@EJ257IHI I ended up just buying a second arbor, because I had 4 doors to do... and that was simpler than hauling it out to the bench and cracking it loose for seven bit changes!
Just installed a new keypad lock on an old door which had 1 1/2" hole. Used this Milwaukee kit to resize the hole to 2 1/8". No issues. Works great. Installed the new keypad lock within 30 mins.
I just got one of the Milwaukee door lock installation kits since I have a lot of deadbolts to install and now that I have seen the Ryobi cutting tool and it is only $10 I am going to pick one up. Thank you very much for showing how to line the deadbolt up with the door frame that was one thing that no one else was explaining and if your installing a brand new deadbolt then your going to have to drill for a latch plate in the door frame yet I have looked around and no one wanted to explain how to do that and get it lined up, I really like the way you did it that it was ingenious and really simple. Thanks for the video, I am now set to install my deadbolts now that I know how to line up the latch plate in the door jam! Thanks again, really helpful!
NOT FOR A DOOR WITH A FRAMED WINDOW - Fine for a flat panel door but this would not work with a door with a raised Window frame. The frame (on most doors) was too close to the door edge and knob hole and would not allow the jig to slide on the door at full depth. Made it useless.
2:15 "MIGHT BE WISE TO BUY AN ADDITIONAL ARBOR..." Most important part of this video. We have four doors to install knobs on. Just drilled the first hole. Now, we can't get the arbor loose from the larger bit. Drilling action tightens the screw threads until you have to be Hercules to unscrew the darn thing.
WHY is the saw 2-1/8"? I have a 2" hole saw, I don't want to buy another one use only tool. If the latch mechanism needs alittle more room I can gouge out the back of the 2" hole. Just saying.
I am a novice at this and you skipped the least obvious part of using the hole saw. How do you take it apart. Thanks for telling me the kit I bought “is difficult” and I should “buy another” part to keep attached to the 1” hole saw. Wish I had not spent my money on something that pretends to be complete. Last time I buy a Milwaukee tool without watching all the RU-vid videos I can find. Aarrgghhhhh!!!!!
Milwaukee, take note >50k views. WHY? Because Your instructions are TERRIBLE. How do you get the large borer off to switch to the smaller borer? It is fucking impossible. Needed this TODAY for a deadbolt. Now I have no security at all. Thanks!
Thanks for the review 👍 Just picked this kit up as my last one was a bit lack luster. Mostly looking to see how you marked the deadbolt position on the door frame.
just measure from the floor up door handles can be anywhere from 38-42 inches off the ground and deadbolts are 48-78 inches, I recommend 54 - 60 for deadbolts as that's higher than a normal person's kick is affective and it's also out of reach of small children. but as long as your 5 1/2 to 6 inches above your knob you'll be in good shape.
Just bought one of these and the porter cable hinge jig 59370 and the strick plate jig 59375. Can't find any videos with those though... Theres an idea for you :)
Problems for the beginner (me): Metal door nearly broke my wrist when it bound up. Larger hole saw locked up on arbor. Can’t get two screws to align and thread.
Have a Subscription and a thumbs up. The vid actually helped to convince me to go with the Milwaukee Door Lock Installation Kit (well.. might not have needed too much convincing on that one.. still! explained what I needed to know for using the kit) Will also say that if you do buy the Kit.. DO consider getting a second Arbor (the bit that the holesaw attaches to) .. The original one that came with my kit got stuck in the larger Hole saw and I couldn't remove it (I'd also add you might want to consider a bag to keep all of the bits together *just found one of the smaller pilot drills under the bed...*) Might look into the latch recess cutter and hinge cutter at a later date. I bought this kit to fix up the mess a previous owner made of the internal doors in my house (seriously.. who just uses a large drill bit to auger out a few holes and hammer the lock internals into the door?!) Everything worked well btw replaced the cheap and nasty door handle. .. now if i could just figure out Hanging a door...!
Like the tool you used for the door holes does Milwaukee also make the green one by Ryobi that you used for the front of the door because I always like to to buy my set of tools by one manufacturer,I have lots of tools by Milwaukee,I like to buy them in set.Thanks and good job.
5:56 This is how not to use a chisel. You want the 30° angle parallel against the work piece so you have control of the chisel. If that is hard to understand, search how to properly use a chisel.
