If you don’t have a drill we recommend Milwaukee cordless drills if you want long lasting tools that you will use for years but if you just want something that will get the job done this Ryobi Kit or a corded drill will do the job just fine. You can order the drill bit on Amazon and we have found them to be high enough quality for enlarging multiple doors.
The drill cutting bit will cut through both metal and wood and can be very precise when used slowly. With the drill cutting bit you can remove as much or as little material as you need if you just take it slow. That makes using the drill cutting bit superior to the door jigs if you already have an existing deadbolt hole and just need to make it larger.

The alternative is using door jig to enlarge the hole but we have found that if there is an existing hole the door jigs tend to misalign, slip or don’t get a good cutting grip because they are designed to have a center stabilizing bit, stabilizing the drill as it cuts through the wood, but if there is already a hole in the door the stabilizing bit in the center of a door jig doesn’t have any material to grab on to, it’s just in the free air of the old door hole. We have found that if you have an existing hole for a deadbolt using the cutting bit is the simplest, and safest way to enlarge the hole for installing the Nest lock.
