First Time Using the Irwin "Door Lock Installation Kit for Wooden Doors"

Back in the Off Grid Workshop finally getting the door hung on the Micro A Frame!
First time installing a lock from scratch, I chose to use a "Door Lock Installation Kit" from Irwin: amzn.to/3AFpA52 - with a cool little router jig that made the job surprisingly easy, so I suppose you could consider that a positive review! Took just 19 minutes from solid wood to installed lock, and it works, first time!
The it's off to the A-frame to hang the door.

what is the thickness of the door?

[@lumberingshenanigans]

To be honest, I don't remember measuring it (or even thinking about it). But in the US at least there only seem to be two standard thicknesses, and looking at the video this one looks like it's 1 3/8 rather than 1 3/4 which I would visually have more space either side of the countersunk plate. I hope that helps. I'll measure it next time I'm out at the A-frame with a tape measure and double check for you.

I just bought and used this Irwin (irlose) install kit, worst kit ever, hope you got through it.

[@lumberingshenanigans]

I don’t know what to say, I have no affiliation with Irwin. But having never installed a lock from scratch before I found this kit very easy to use, and as you can see from the video I ended up with a perfectly functioning lock install as a result. What didn’t work for you? I’m genuinely curious.

@lumberingshenanigans I had wobbly hole saws and the drill bit for hole saw was to long. Buggered up my door. I got through mine. Irwin could have done better. Glad yours turned out well for you tho!🙂
