Do you have a router? Jig and router all day for me. Minimal setup time and a clean result every time. I tend to use a trimming router freehand and finish with a chisel for hinges.
Tore, yes I have a Souber and I think it's brilliant. Got it for £90 on Ebay and it's saved me so much time putting new locks in, especially in rentals. Just got to keep your eye on the cutting bits when you hit a piece of metal. Need a good corded drill with a bit of grunt to power it.
Yes vivaro it's got great reviews on Amazon etc, but I thought what people think on here. I like the fact the door can still be hanging. Often get digi locks to fit and if you drill slightly off can be a ball ache. I'm tempted as it looks easy as the door can still be hanging. Is set up quick as it looks it on you tube?
Yes I do the same for hinges but for putting on locks I don't half a 1/2 router and have to remove the door.
Fair point. It does look a good product though, defiantly well designed. It looks like it will put a lot of pressure on the drill though, so unless you have a high-torque battery drill a mains drill would be preferable.
Got a couple of key pads to fit. I have used flat drill bits in the past, bit brutal. Any bits anyone can reccomed from the host.
Yes the ones I have a brutal I got away with them last time but I'm sure there is something better. Looking at the forstner bits
No I didn't JT end of the month I had vouchers to use with Screwfix. Bought the small festool rail. I'm getiting the DB at the end of the month! Everyone seems to rave about it. I let you know
