I didn't really want to buy some equipment I'd use on time ever, and risk possibly screwing it up. I found some youtube videos showing how to enlarge these door holes with a hole saw, but the videos I saw were on wooden doors. They're metal doors with insulation in the middle. My not-too-old doors have 1.5 inch holes. The Schlage Encode Plus requires a 2 1/8 inch hole, which I didn't even look at before buying. In the not too distant past, apparently 1.5 inch holes for locks were a thing. Apparently today the standard size hole for this is 2 1/8 inches. If you remove the lock from your door you will see the hole it goes through and can measure it. When it came to installing them, as soon as I went to put them in I learned that the standard size for the hole that locks go through has changed over the years. Bringing the locks to the locksmith shop was intended to save a trip charge. I brought the locks to a locksmith to have them rekeyed and was going to take a crack at installing them myself because it looked fairly straightforward. I've been in the process of updating my home to use all homekit stuff, and wanted these as they use HomeKey. I was able to snag some Schlage Encode Plus smart locks from one of the recent batches that came in stock.
