Yes, some of the parts are plastic and move a little, but you have to take your time and let the tools do the work. Worked great for me. It has held up good for me.
The plastic template should have been made of metal not cheap plastic which chips away under the router.I had to chisel the old fashion way. How smart is it to pay for a useless template.
Went to use the small borer for the latch -- its threads don't match the drill bit supplied. Aggravating. There is not a parts list. Opened the totally sealed Irwin kit package. (We ended up having to improvise with a large drill bit, a narrow chisel, and a knife).
But figured we were all set when we went to hang just a door today. Bored the hole for the knob without a problem. We did everything we could think of. The kit wasn't expensive -- but it only half worked -- so wasted a lot of our time. Had bought this a year ago -- but ended up buying a door in the frame.
Followed the instructions. Was there supposed to be another bit.
Its made of plastic so it did move alot. The lock depth adjustment kept slipping.
The only issue I had was the wood core got stuck in the bolt hole saw and needed to be tapped out using my vice to hold the bit. I used it on a solid core exterior wood door and the job was perfect. I couldn't even find anyone who rented the professional jig and this is far superior to using the paper template they send you with the typical lockset. This one is for wood doors only. For $10 this is a bargain. Even the little router bit and jig for the bolt plate worked well, although I was very skeptical when I first saw it.
No measuring, just slap this thing on the door and start drilling. First of all, for the reviewer who said this would not work on a metal door, he is right. For me, it worked very well. Not big thing and I'm sure it would happen every time you used it.
