All hole saws are not created equal. A
cheap hole saw from a home improvement
center or one that has been dropped can
be out of round and will not fit the drill
bushings in our templates.
Shown above is a standard twist drill
bit. They can be used on both wood or
steel doors. Be sure to back out the bit
when drilling to clear chips. Shown above and at right is
a brad point bit. They will
produce a very clean hole in
a wood door. Use at a low
speed and back the bit out
to clear chips. Do not use
on a steel door.
Shown above is a spade or paddle type
bit. Do not attempt to use this in any
drill guide. There is no bearing surface
and you will jam the bit.
Shown above is a tri-flute drill bit. Do
not attempt to use this in a drill guide.
The lack of bearing surface will cause
the bit to jam.

There are two
templates in the
HIT-30L-125 template
set. One is an outside
template and the
other for the inside.
Both templates will
prep either a 1-1/8” or
1-1/2” template.
Reversible for RH or
LH doors.
The templates
for the Adams
Rite 2190 are
too long for
the standard
HIT-30 clamp
system and
will require
the longer HIT
-30L. The HIT
-30L will hold
any
HIT-30
template.
This clamp is
not part of the
HIT-30L-125
template set. It
needs to be
ordered
separately.
HIT-30AR20
alignment guide.
Used to align the HIT
-30L with
template to an
existing lock cut out.
This fixture is not part
of the HIT-30L-125
template set. It needs
to be ordered
separately.
HIT-30AR11 Router
template used to
route the lock
faceplate. Needed
for use on a new in-
stall with no existing
lock prep.
This fixture is not part
of the HIT-30L-125
template set. It needs
to be ordered
separately.

If this installation is new, a faceplate will need to be cut in the door, attach a
HIT-30AR11 to the clamp. (LH picture) If you are retrofitting an existing door
prep, attach a HIT-30AR20 alignment guide to the clamp. (RH picture)
The templates are marked exterior top and interior top make sure they are
attached correctly to the clamp. There are mounting holes on both the
right and left hand side. One is for 1-1/8” and the other 1-1/2” backset. The
screws go through the backset that is required.

For a new install,
locate the template
at the desired height
and drill a starting
hole for the router.
Shown is a step bit
used to drill the
starting hole.
Lube the area to be
routed, we use a
product called Edge
Cream by LPS.
Cut out the
faceplate. Be sure to
cut in a clockwise
direction.

If retrofitting, install the HIT-30AR20 to the clamp and align it in the
existing faceplate cutout.
Don’t forget to drill the
holes for mounting
brackets. The holes in
the template are spaced
to fit our LMB-03, LMB-
033 or LMB-034. We
prefer the bracket to
mounting bridges for this
installation.

There are three holes inside and outside to drill next. The factory template
calls for a .196 diameter drill bit. Our drill guides will accept a 13/64” twist
drill, a lot easier to find in the field. The bottom holes shown being drilled
on the right is a pilot hole that will be drilled later.
Once the faceplate has been cut out it is time to start drilling the function
holes. Starting at the top, drill the inside and outside holes with a 1-1/4”
hole saw. If retrofitting, drill these holes to clean up any misalignment.

With the 13/64” drill bit still in the drill, drill the two top holes on the large
drill guide at the bottom of the template
Change to a 3/16” and drill the remaining 6 holes on the inside template.
Four are on the template and two are on the large drill guide.

With the same 3/16” bit in the drill, drill the remaining holes on the exterior
template. There are five holes on the template and two on the large drill
bushing. Two holes on this side are pilot holes and will be drilled out after
the clamp and template are removed from the door.
There is one last hole
to drill. With a 1/2”
twist drill, drill the
bottom hole in the
large drill bushing.
This is on the exterior
template.
After a check to make
sure all holes are
drilled and none have
been missed, remove
the clamp and
template from the
door.

On the exterior template two holes
need to be enlarged to 1-1/8” with
the use of a hole saw. One hole is
located in the center of the door,
below the two horizontal holes. The
second hole is centered between
the bottom five holes.
Use a 1-1/8” hole saw and drill the two exterior holes as shown.

One last hole to
enlarge is on the
interior of the door.
Change to a 7/8”
hole saw and drill
the pilot hole
located under the
two horizontal
holes as shown.
Here is the completed door prep. Make sure all holes have been
de-burred and install lock per manufactures directions.
