Review on Irwin Tools Wooden Installation 3111001 by Chris Cruz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not impressed with door hardware and locks

Wouldn't buy this again. I threw it away after using it. Hole saws are cheap and don't cut well. A lot of strength for a long time to cut through a paper door. Tip: buy good cutters in the store. I used a 1" Forstner bit and it worked really well. The router bit doesn't match the width of the jig. The router will easily ruin the jig. The problem is the location of the holes for the router template. It's too close to the 1" holes in the door. You have to flip the screws so they don't pop through the 1" holes in the door. The instructions are not pleasant to understand. There is a continuity of gaps in the instructions. The most frustrating What's part of this whole experience is that you have the option to choose two rear adjustment depths, only mortise locks use the second option, so why add this confusion to the product as an option, also you have to drill from both sides to avoid blow out.i was so disappointed with the instructions that i didn't receive this note.put in silicone and fresh paint.device - a flimsy and annoying piece of junk to throw away.after these Because of my experience, I ended up at irwin Tools. Stress is putting it mildly. Many more disappointing moments but I'm tired. Much luck.

Pros
  • Sliding door hardware
Cons
