This is one nice product. It has the strike plat punches. I do wood and metal doors. Deadbolt locksets. The bit last longer if you use low on your drill and yes i wish i could get a carbide bit I have done about 15 doors masonite and oak raised panel. Good solid item.

So close... but not quite - powderday - snow covered mountains
Like the other reviewers, I feel that this is close to what you need. I was on a budget so I bought this one anyway. You can make it what you need but for 0 should you really have to do that!? First, there is no padding on the faces of the metal plates so when you clamp it to the door tight enough to hold it as you drill it can damage the door... esp with softer woods. Simple fix is to put some thin high density adhesive foam on the plates. Second, the 2-1/8 drill bit is not carbide so dont even think of trying to drill through clean from one side. Also only plan on getting about 10 doors out of the bit that comes with it. To be fair, you cant buy another kit with a carbide bit for less than 0. So use the 0 you save and buy a nice SET of carbide bits! I dont understand why all these companies feel that its OK to skimp on the second most important part of the kit! Once you account for these two significant flaws the jig actually works pretty well. If youre not on a budget just step up and buy the classic engineering carbide kit.
