[BlindHandyMan] Re: new door knob to big for the whole?
If you have a hole saw drill attachment, cut the proper size hole in a scrap piece of wood to use as a template. Clamp the template to the door, centered over the knob hole that is too small, This will guide the hole saw as the door is cut. - Gil Laster, Charlotte, NC Original message: -- From: Blake Hardin blakehardin5...@gmail.com Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2010 3:30 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] new door knob to big for the whole? Hi, i have a wooden closet door that i bought a new knob for. However i can't get the two sides of the knob to line up because the actual whole is not cut large enough cause i guess the other knob is smaller. Anyway what can I use to file the door down a bit so i can put the new knob on? Its actually hollow inside the door so i imagine that it wont be to hard to do something with it. I just didn't wanna start cutting anything out of the nice little smooth round whole without knowing what is the best tool to use for it to still be smooth and round.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Re: new door knob to big for the whole?
I have a special hole saw mandrel which allows two saws to be mounted. The inner smaller one is selected to fit the present hole while the larger outer saw is selected to cut the larger size. In this way the smaller saw guides the larger one. Available from Lee Valley, where else? There can be a bigger problem though, that being the length of the latch. simply enlarging the hole may force the latch further toward the edge of the door and extend it beyond the edge of the door. - Original Message - From: Gil Laster To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Cc: blakehardin5...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2010 3:05 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Re: new door knob to big for the whole?
