Door lock installation kit
The Morse MHSALKIT1 supplies every component required to fit door knobs, deadbolts and locksets in a single package. Two bimetal hole saws measuring 1" and 2-1/8" cut clean bore holes in wood or metal doors. An M34 arbor and adaptor nut secure the saws to a drill chuck, while the adjustable door template aligns latch and spindle holes for standard door thicknesses and backset depths.
For professional installers and DIYers
Tradespeople and homeowners completing new lock fitting or hardware replacement will find the template eliminates guesswork on door preparation. The kit is not suited for jobs requiring hole saw diameters outside the 1" to 2-1/8" range or for materials that demand specialised cutting geometry not provided by standard bimetal teeth.
Adjustable door template
The template accommodates door thicknesses of 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" plus backset depths of 2-3/8" and 2-3/4", ensuring correct hole placement for the most common residential and commercial lock hardware. Without this adjustability, separate templates or careful manual measurement would be needed for each door variation.

Questions about this item
How do I align the template when drilling a 2-1/8" hole for a deadbolt on a 1-3/4" thick door?
Set the adjustable door template to the 1-3/4" thickness and 2-3/4" backset positions, then clamp it firmly so the 2-1/8" bimetal hole saw cuts the face bore centred on the latch hole.
Which parts will wear out first if I use the kit on several metal doors?
The 1" and 2-1/8" bimetal hole saws (177160, 177344) dull fastest on metal; the M34 arbor (139014) and adaptor nut last much longer.
What stops me from drilling deeper than the door thickness with the 1" hole saw?
The adjustable door template acts as a depth guide; once the saw breaks through the opposite face, the template surface prevents further plunge.
