A motor vehicle door having an external handle unit includes a support part and a handle which has on a circumference of the support part a plurality of compensating elements and on an interior side of the door shell a fixing plate having a plurality of fixing points. The compensating elements are embodied to permit, by means of a fixing screw that is to be screwed in, both a compensating movement in the Y direction, and, due to a floating mounting, a compensation in the X and Z directions.

A door hardware locating tool includes an edge wall having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and an edge bore aperture that extends through the first and second sides. The edge bore defines a first axis that extends centrally through the edge wall and through the first and second sides. The door hardware locating tool also includes a side wall adjacent the edge wall. The side wall includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a cavity defined between the first and second sides. The door hardware locating tool further includes an insert at least partially positioned within the cavity of the side wall. The insert is rotatable about a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis between a first position and a second position. The insert includes a cross bore aperture.

In an exemplary embodiment, a template for locating and drilling one or more holes in a door is provided. The template may include a body member having a first side portion, a second side portion, and a middle portion. The middle portion can be between the first side portion and the second side portion forming a profile that is configured to cooperatively engage with a portion of the door. The profile can include at least one curved portion to correspond to a curved portion of the portion of the door.

A boring and routing template jig for door hardware installation has a side template plate, clamping for holding the side template plate against a side area of a door to be cut and a face template plate orthogonally connected against an edge of the side template plate by a connection so that the face template plate can lie across an edge face area of the door to be cut adjacent the side area. The face template plate and the side template plate comprise respective guide apertures. The connection is configured to maintain vertical offset between the respective guide apertures and allow horizontal offset adjustment between the face template plate and the side template plate.

A door security device for an out-swing door includes a mounting plate secured to the door, a hinge pin assembly supported by the mounting plate proximate the door outside edge, a clasp swing plate secured to the hinge pin assembly for pivotal movement between unlocked and locked positions, a door frame anchor bolt received in a clasp cut-out of the clasp swing plate captured behind an enlarged anchor bolt head in the locked position in a lowermost position of the clasp swing plate, the clasp swing plate biased by force of gravity to the lowermost position, and the mounting plate having a first receiver top surface at the hinge pin vertical axis, the first receiver top surface defining the uppermost position of the clasp swing plate in an unlocked position parallel to the mounting plate and defining the lowermost position of the clasp swing plate in the unlocked position perpendicular to the mounting plate.

A tool for installing a door striker pin includes: a latch engagement section having a first surface, a striker pin extending from the first surface, and an abutment surface that extends generally orthogonal to the first surface; and a pin positioning section coupled to the latch engagement section and including a positioning surface with a striker pin slot formed therethrough that extends in parallel with the striker pin. The striker pin slot is positioned in the positioning surface such that the striker pin slot is aligned with a striker pin installation location when the striker pin of the latch engagement section is engaged with a latch of a door and the abutment surface rests against a frame to which the door is pivotably coupled.

A cutting guide apparatus for guiding placement of bore holes in a door may include a first leg configured to be disposed along a first face of the door, a second leg configured to be disposed along a second face of the door opposite the first face, and a spacing element disposed between the first and second legs. At least one of the first leg or the second leg may include a handle hole guide structure and the spacing element may include an edge bore guide structure. A first portion of the handle hole guide structure that is proximate to the first or second face of the door may be undercut relative to a second portion of the handle hole guide structure that is opposite the first portion.
