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 Yale mortise lock
install.

NOTE: The HIT-66 clamps
shown are not part of the
HIT-66-295 template set and
must be purchased as a
separate item.

Install the mortise lock positioning plate. The
plate will fit into the 1-1/4” x 8” faceplate cut
out. There will be a 3/8” diameter pin
centered on the plate. There is no top or
bottom to worry about.
Slide the HIT-66 alignment fixture over the
alignment pin and tighten to door.
Alternate tightening between the top and
bottom clamp. Do not attempt to tighten one
clamp all the way at once.
Start by drilling the 5/16”
diameter thru bolt holes
located around the spin-
dle. A standard twist drill
will work on both wood
or steel doors. Drill to the
mortise pocket from both
sides of the door.
