Ryobi has a door hinge template and a door lock installation kit that decreases the difficulty a butt load.
I had a contractor who was manually doing everything from the hinges, locks etc. and he was blown away at how useful the tool was to score out the hinges/locks etc. before carefully finishing it off using a chisel.
