Black & Decker 79-362 HCS Door Lock Installation Kit Reviews
| 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful  For small DIY, this works great!, By JD (United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Black & Decker 79-362 HCS Door Lock Installation Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) So, I read the existing reviews on the product and thought why not give it a shot. For a few dollars, it would be worth it if it worked, and not too big a loss if it didn't (my local hardware store would've taken the return).First let's start with the premise that this tool will not appeal to someone who has a whole house of new doors that need new hardware, but to the person who has one or two locks they want to install themselves. Anyone starting a DIY project as a non-professional should not expect perfection in any of there projects, it just doesn't make sense to expect perfection if you don't do it for a living. Second, any and every DIY project requires a bit of patience, and a lot of reading manuals and measuring twice (or thrice) to cut once. That said, this tool does exactly what it advertises. Sure, it is a little flimsy, and I wouldn't drive my truck over it, but it isn't a bridge. It's a guide for a drill bit, pure and simple. It is...

However, fortunately, I owned the item long before I saw those reviews. I got mine at Wally-World when I was desperately in need of something to help me replace the door locks at my cottage. This thing was AWESOME! I had NO problems with using it or the quality or the design. I used it to install four door locks in 100 year old wood. All of the holes were perfectly placed (that includes the large ones for the handle mechanisms and the small ones for the latches) and all the door hardware fit correctly on the first try. I used it again for four locks at home and had no problems there either. Drilled through wooden fire doors with no trouble. I HIGHLY recommend this product! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful BUY THIS! Save money over the Dewalt tool., By Frank S (USA) - See all my reviews Verified Purchase This review is from: Black & Decker 79-362 HCS Door Lock Installation Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) This tool is worth its price and then some! I'm an avid DIY and have almost every tool known to man. I had an old door with a small off-set bore and could not find a new handle to fit the hole, so I decided to buy a door lock template jig. I only used it on 1 door and it performed flawlessly. If you have to drill a lot of doors it may not last, but if you take your time I can't see why it wouldn't drill at least 10 doors successfully, maybe more.Black & Decker did a good job with this particular tool! Now most times I will opt for a brand like Dewalt or Milwaukee and will spend the extra, and Black & Decker is typically hardly considered. I decided to take a chance at around $10 shipped with Amazon prime, and I am glad I saved the money instead of buying the Dewalt equivalent which was closer to $27. I had no issues with the locking mechanism like some reviewers have mentioned. I simply looked at the tool and figured it out in a second. I glanced the... Read more |
