The template worked fine. This was my second choice in templates. I was looking at one for $69 that clamped to the door but it was out of stock and I wanted to get the job done. I only had to do a few doors so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a template I was only going to use a few times in my life. The two double-headed nails that they provided were OK for attaching to the door but I was getting some movement when using my heavy 3.25 horsepower plunge router. I recommend using a couple of short sheet rock screws to hold it firmly in place. Their directions for setting the depth of the bit were funny. They wanted you to turn the router upside down and put the template on the bottom of the router to adjust the blade depth with the hinge on top of the template. This was very awkward as I was not using the Porter Cable router but a Bosch plunge router that has a cord coming out the top of the router not the side (like the Porter Cable they pictured) so it was crazy trying to balance the router, template and hinge on with the cord of the router in my way. Why couldn't they just give you the depth measurement of the template where the router was going to be resting? And on top of that the hinge does not lay flat on the template. I measured the depth of the hinge and did a test on an old door for depth. I did find that the pins used for adjusting the door depth were in my way so I had to turn my router to go around the pins. The rounded hinges fit perfectly. I found the template awkward but it worked.
