Simplest and most effective way I’ve found. Used this method on many doors in my home. Tip: When you drill your pilot hole by eye, if afterwards you realize it’s not centered, simply loosen clamps and center the hole. Thanks for the video!
Nice video, thanks! If you happen to have a hole saw the size of the original hole, you can use it from the backside to drill the pilot hole dead center.
I thought that I would need a solid surface to anchor the hole saw, but was not sure of the technique. Thank you so much for your detailed video! Your tips are much appreciated. I feel way more confident about this next project!
Thanks, used this trick today on a metal residential door. definitely want to go very slow, with almost no pressure on the saw when you first hit the door, those hole saws want to walk. Overall worked very well, thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Great idea! I went cheap (No hole saws.) and used a small chisel to make notches for the metal guides of the new knob. Worked well, but took some time. The new one was very little larger and I could press it in the hole to make marks where to chisel.
Very nicely done sir thank you for a finalized and simple solution to such a simple problem I could figure it out to save my life good job thank you sir
Shouldn't you drill halfway through the door from the non-board side and then the rest of the way through from the board side so you don't have a breakout and splintering from drilling through one way? Even with a sharp saw, breakout and splintering can still happen by drilling through one way.
But once you have cut through the scrap piece you clamped on, then you no longer have any wood for that pilot drill to keep you going straight. Or is the outside hole you just cut in the scrap piece acting as the guide at that point? I have a hollow door to do. So the hole saw might slip out of alignment halfway into cutting the hole. Any suggestions for doing this with hollow doors?
Use two hole saws nested together on the mandrel, the smaller one inside the bigger one, obviously. The smaller one 1 1/2in will serve as a guide for the bigger one. Drill both sides of the door halfway through in two steps.
Method worked perfectly I did everything I was supposed to, except my door wasn't solid wood 🤣🤣..Oh it wasn't pretty. You get 5 stars though it was my mess up not yours but for others please pay more attention to his directions than I did. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
WELL yes you did drill the hole .... But its far easier to measure and mark the spot on a piece of wood 3/4inch thick - drill that hole with a hole saw - then clamp it in place on the door with another piece of 3/4 inch wood on the back side of the door to prevent blow out... it makes it much easier to do ... OR you can actually buy Door lock install kit that has a clamping guide to do this for $50 dollars
Awesome! Take your time and don't rush. (1) Make sure the sacrificial wood on top is well secured. (2) Make sure that your pilot hole is straight and that you hold the drill straight when you re-size with the hole saw. (3) Don't apply excessive pressure to the drill because it makes the saw harder to control and keep straight. Just let the hole saw work.
I bought a door handle for like $10 bucks, Is there anyway to do this without spending $50+ on tools? YES find the biggest flat head and start shaving the wood. It can be done will take some time.
why would you ever do any of this when they make a $10 kit that clamps onto the door. comes with hole saws and what you need. you would be done drilling it all out before this dude sets his first clamp.

Saved me from buying a jig I’d only use 1 time. Thank you!

A really clear explanation and good video so that we can see exactly what to do. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.

@@pmarquisYTHow do you nest the hole saws?
Great job bro . I will use your technic.
This is great, thank you!!!
You're certainly welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback.
Thanks for showing me how to accomplish that, I subscribed to your channel, I appreciate it.
Thank you! You just saved a relationship 😂
I have a handyman who installed Frenchdoor handles and they do not align. Can this be fixed without having to buy a new door?

Awesome sauce!

How did you get those previous older door knobs off? Having trouble removing them myself
Can you free hand it without the piece of drywall?
Awesome video. Going to try this tomorrow.

RENOS 4 PROS & JOES thanks for the tips. I’ll let you know how it goes!
Thanks again. Tips worked perfectly! Was so happy to get this done right the first time. 👌
Awesome! Glad I could help.
Wrong way how do you know you made hole in centre
What do I do when the hole for the latch is too small?
Is that plywood?
I bought a door handle for like $10 bucks, Is there anyway to do this without spending $50+ on tools?
YES find the biggest flat head and start shaving the wood. It can be done will take some time.
Do you need to drill the hole saw all the way through?
no just start from other side
very slow beginning. drilling from inside needa a skill to find the cener of the hole.
hi
why would you ever do any of this when they make a $10 kit that clamps onto the door. comes with hole saws and what you need. you would be done drilling it all out before this dude sets his first clamp.
You drilled your pilot hole without a guide. You need it to be dead center
