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.

With both clamps opened
equally, install both inside
and outside templates to the
HIT-66 clamp as shown. Do
not tighten the 10-32 screws
at this time. When all screws
have been loosely installed,
then it is ok to tighten.
Install the alignment guide to
either side of the template
set. This is used to align the
template with the mortise
pocket.
Shown is a standard mortise
pocket, we will use this as a
basis for the Hager Mortise
Lock installation.

Alternate tightening between the top
and bottom clamp. Do not attempt to
tighten one clamp all the way at
once.

holes on both sides
of the door. These
holes go to the
mortise cavity. Do not

one side through to
the other.
