Go buy another doorknob and carefully open the pacakage and borrow the template. When finished, put it all back in the package and return it to the store. BTW it wont have to be the exact same knob as most templates are the same. You might be able to find a printable template online.

I hate people like you. Seriously.

I buy 3-4 knobs for a house and find out that some dishonest thief has "borrowed" the parts/pieces of a product, and "carefully" replaced anything they could to get their money back. Doing "carefully" isn't really stealing, right?

I get the knobs (or other product out to the job) and find that a careful repackager has dropped or lost a small piece of the product rendering it unusable or inoperable. They might not have noticed. Or maybe they dropped one of the pieces they didn't use (like the knob) and "carefully" repackaged it with a dent or scratch towards the back where it can't be readily seen.

I have to take the product back that is damaged or has missing pieces and try to get my money back. A wasted trip for me, time chewed up during the business day, maybe a guy waiting on the items can't finish his work that day, and the possibility the vendor won't take back the product BECAUSE IT IS DAMAGED OR HAS MISSING PIECES.

Screw you.

More poor advice from an idiot. Of course the templates are online. How does that help? I hole saw set like he has won't work unless he makes a pattern or guide himself. Standard holes for interior locksets are 2 1/8", not a standard size in a pile of hole saws like he has. He also needs a 15/16" hole saw for the plunger/tongue as on that type of lock the existing size is probably 3/4". How can he drill that without a template or guide? His hole saw will have its guide bit in thin air without a guide of some sort, no help from a stolen template. Excuse me, "carefully borrowed" template.

The original poster needs this or something like it:

At ten bucks, it isn't worth "borrowing" and will actually get the job done right. Standard backset pattern drill guide for both holes, and both bits..
