So, you need to install a new doorknob or deadbolt and you\u2019re not sure what size hole saw you\u2019ll need to drill? Or perhaps you\u2019re replacing an old rusted doorknob with a fresh-looking new one?<\/p>\n

Either way, you\u2019ll need to know the right size hole saw<\/a> for your doorknob or deadbolt. Luckily, these sizes are pretty much standardized at 2 1\/8\u201d for both doorknobs and deadbolts for the primary hole.<\/p>\n

In addition to the primary hole, you\u2019ll also need to drill a second hole for the sliding bolt assembly. This is normally 1\u201d in diameter.<\/p>\n

Hole saws are the ideal tool for drilling a large diameter round bore hole with no imperfections. All you need is a decent power drill and a hole saw to get started punching holes into your new door.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the process of drilling bore holes for doorknobs and deadbolts, which hole saw sizes you\u2019ll need, and what else you\u2019ll need to get the job done.<\/p>\n
