Purchased for steel exterior doors and found that the pins used to center the template are too short. I used 2 inch long pieces of 1/8 inch dowel and got the job done. Pins with kit works fine on interior doors. Instructions are easy to follow.

The product performed as expected. FedEx added a couple of days to the delivery -said the delivery to the warehouse failed because no one was there- Really? Why does Home Depot use that company?

A simple device that has everything you need to accurately and easily mortise wood doors. I did 44 doors without a hitch. Comes with everything you need including the bit.

Have used one in the past. That one broke so I ordered the new one. Makes the job a lot easier

i bought this to install some ball latches….it was a little bigger cutout but i made it work! Used their other device for hinges…i’d be there yet without these tools!

Used it for 7 doors and 7 jambs. Held up. The set screw on the bit is too long so it chews up this odd portion of one of the inserts that sticks out, but it doesn’t affect the job. Pin setup didn’t work for my door frame. Got a tighter latch fit by putting one of the inserts in backwards.

I bought this for my husband to use as we replace interior hollow core doors with 10 or 15 lite style, (depending on width of door.) He has used it twice. It has worked but he says there are challenges to it. I don’t really know what they are but I do know that it ultimately worked, allowing for a nicer finish than doing it by hand with a chisel. That is why I am giving this a 4 star not 5.
