Really appreciate this, thank you.

Good clean saw cutting. The side plates overlap enough to cover some mistakes.
They don't tell you in the lousy instruction sheet that the wood screw holes in the lockset and the striker plate are dimpled, so you need to countersink (which you did). The instructions do say to drill a 1/2" hole in the center of the door cutout - but I don't see why.
BTW, if you go to the Amazon page for this, they link three videos from the manufacturer, where they say to chamfer the cutout, how to reverse the lock, and they show the holes dimpled. Now, if only they'd rewrite the instruction sheet

They are a pain in the butt. If I had to do a bunch I would make some sort of jig for it but it's usually only one here and there.

Thanks!

definitely drill a cut out/ recess in the back of the cut out. Without it the mechanism rubbed a little and the latch wouldn't open all the way. I used a 3/4" spade. only need a 3/16 deep hole

Whoever designed that door pull obviously has never installed anything in their life. Even with that you done good...

[@BrentDarlington]

Thats what it seems like. Thanks!!

[@mattpoelker4368]

thanks, very helpful

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Nice job, Not much room for error with that thing!

[@BrentDarlington]

Yes, they make me nervous when trying to cut it out of a finished door.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Nice job! How do you like that dewalt jigsaw?

[@BrentDarlington]

Just got it so I haven't used it too much but so far so good

[@ericbartoszak5211]

Hah you didn’t install the strike on video…

[@BrentDarlington]

sorry, check out my other pocket door video for that
