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.

As shown, for example in FIGS. 1 to 14, the lockset installation kit includes a door jig (1) configured for attachment to a distal end (2) of a door (3). The door jig (1) clamps to the distal end (2) and is used to guide the boring out of the door handle hole (18), the boring out of the latch bolt hole (15) and the morticing of the latch bolt plate recess (16). As shown for example in FIGS. 27 to 39, the kit also includes a frame jig (29) configured for attachment to a door frame (30). The frame jig (29) is used to guide the boring out of the strike bolt hole (65) and the morticing of the strike plate recess (46). To assist with correct alignment, the kit provides for the door jig (1) to be mechanically coupled to the frame jig (29).

A guide template having a tool guide for a working tool, for producing a main-side cut-out on a workpiece main-side surface of a workpiece which workpiece has a workpiece secondary-side surface, which is at an angle to the workpiece main-side surface and proceeding from which a secondary-side cut-out extends into the workpiece next to the workpiece main-side surface at a distance therefrom, wherein the guide template includes a main-side stop having a main-side stop surface for making contact with the workpiece main-side surface and includes a secondary-side stop, which has an engagement protrusion for engaging the secondary-side cut-out, wherein a longitudinal axis of the engagement protrusion extends toward the tool guide to an intersection region, in which the main-side cut-out to be produced and the secondary-side cut-out intersect, and is at an angle to a guide longitudinal axis of the tool guide wherein the guide template includes a depth stop having a depth stop surface for a counter stop assigned to the working tool for limiting the penetration depth of the working tool into the workpiece with respect to the guide longitudinal axis.

Tapered, stepped, or non-tapered router guide templates, and optionally combined template holder system, each template comprising: a base portion, a top portion, at least one of an exterior surface interconnecting the base portion and the top portion along an outer periphery of the template and an interior surface interconnecting the base portion and the top portion along an inner periphery of the template, wherein optionally one of the exterior surface and the interior surface may be continuously tapered between the base portion and the top portion, or stepped, and wherein the base portion is adapted for removable and adjustable interconnection with the template holder system.

A router guide jig includes a frame assembly that includes a first leg, a second leg, and a support member. The support member has an opening extending through the support member positioned at least in part offset from the first leg. The receiving opening defines a first axis. The router guide jig includes at least one backset member carried by the first leg having a first abutment surface facing away from the first leg. The at least one backset member is positionable in at least a first position and in a second position relative to the first leg. In the first position, the first abutment surface is spaced a first distance from the first leg. In a second position, the first abutment surface is spaced a second distance from the first leg. The router guide jig includes at least one clamp member carried by the second leg having a second abutment surface facing away from the second leg. The at least one clamp member is adjustable relative to the second leg to adjust a clamping force provided by the at least one clamp member.
