I want to install a deadbolt lock. It has no template guide. Can you give

some pointers on how to configure the hole making without the template. I
was given the lock, thus no instructions etc.

Look at the manufacturer's web site. They may have the template in the
installation instructions as a downloadable file.

You can try measuring from the center of the actuator hole in the bolt
to the face of the plate to get the setback and use the cylinder to
figure out what the hole size is.


How are you going to know that the downloaded and printed image is to scale?
