Awesome Guide, worked well with the kit too. Only difference with mine was it was a steel door with wood interior, so the routing part does not work with steel. I had to "magiver" that section with some drill holes, a diamond bit rotary tool, and a chisel. Took some work but the job still got done. Thanks for the help on the video!

Glad to hear! Yes, the wood bits don't do much against metal doors... And that's the tricky part. The metal and wood kits are not well marked so if a person doesn't know what to shop for, they usually end up with the wood kit because it's normally cheaper. Glad you were able to engineer a way around that! Thanks for the comment!

Be careful on some steel doors the wood is only near the location of the handle. If you go too high with the deadbolt you'll encounter foam directly behind the steel therefore have nothing to screw into when you route out the notch on the door edge. The location he installs it should be ok on almost all steel doors but up a few inches higher And you may encounter this problem as I did recently.

But it wobbled again i tryed to go in reverse. It worked good. All the way threw. When cuting metal roofs i reverse the blade. I called 3 lumber yards all have a different idea. One guy said i need a diamond grit hole saw.

How thick is the metal? If it’s a fireproof door you’ll spend more time making the hole and could run into issues as you described. I’m curious, where did the drill bit fail? Was it the hole saw itself or the 1/4 inch drive shaft that failed? Also, make sure you’re using a bit that’s made to cut metal. That is very important. The wood bits will not work well if at all. As far as diamond bits go, no. You don’t need that. Overkill in my opinion. A metal rated bit should do the trick.

I would think so. The gauge of the steel in your case the door will be thicker than a non-fire steel door so you’ll probably spend more time auguring through to make the hole. But, that should be the only difference. If you have concerns, call the manufacturer and make certain. Best of luck.
