Abstract
An installation jig includes a pair of jaws and a latch guide coupled together by an adjusting mechanism. The jig includes a pair of backset spacers mounted to the latch guide rotational movement between a first backset position and a second backset position. A detent mechanism maintains each backset spacer in a selected backset position and, when combined with the rotational movement, provides a tool-free backset operation. The jig also includes a pair of removable in-line arms to provide the capability to perform a standard door prep on metal and wood doors. In addition, a novel drill bit adapter is disclosed.
