over my many carpentry years I have installed many lock sets... today at a work day at our church I re-installed a new US Lock deadbolt, that a well meaning church member had tried to install... No instructions,,, but I only read them at 3:30 anyway.. what a pain... are all US Locks ... tune and adjust as you install or start from Scratch?
I don't want to think bad thoughts about anybody.
A lock installation jig or boring jig makes it much easier to align the holes if someone had worked on a lock before you and the holes are mis-aligned. You can clamp on the jig ,line it up,see what has to be done and then remove just enough material to assure smooth operation of the lock.over my many carpentry years I have installed many lock sets... today at a work day at our church I re-installed a new US Lock deadbolt, that a well meaning church member had tried to install...

I agree with you about the expense of the jig. There would have to be a sufficient quantity of lock installations to justify purchase.For the Non-Locksmith, a Jig is a bit of an expenditure. Yes???
But Bot-O-Boy, do they make lock-life simple!!!
Especially if you purchase the PROPER, Commercial/Residential type.
