Some of our doors have knobs, which we like (like idiots, we tend to

doors with knobs is that one's hand is a little too close to the frame
for 100% comfort :-) I wanted to fit some latches with longer
backsets (the 83mm ones seem about right), but they won't fit in the
holes cut for the existing latches. I need to enlarge them by a
couple of mm. I'm imagining that if I just try to offer the bit up to
it, it will just bounce all over the place, so I'm not going to try
that. Right now, the only thing I can think is to glue a bit of
wooden pole in there and start again. But is there another easier
way, I could do it? I'm not even sure that I could source the wooden
pole/dowel of the correct diameter.
Step drill?

If I can find one that goes up to 25mm (or even an inch :-)),which is
what I will need for this job, it might be a useful thing to have around
for other things, too.
Also everyone should brise this company. Their stuff is tough and it
really works. Uses are obvious
