I have a install kit for door knobs and deadbolts, have used it many times, well worth the money. Never used one for hinges. I just have issues squaring the jambs mostly while installing fast build kits. I hired my nephew last time and it was both faster and educational! It's a funny thing that is happening as I age, I don't really care to be a jack of all trades anymore, and I like having some jobs be done quickly and but a tradesman. It's way more fun to come home to a job well done then spend half saturday messing around and coming up with acceptable but not quite all the way there results.
