BEST KD318 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size hole does the BEST KD318 auger bit cut?
The KD318 is a 1 inch diameter auger bit. That's the bore size it is meant to produce in the door for BEST KD Series cylindrical and tubular equipment installation.
2) Will the BEST KD318 bit work for prepping doors for any cylindrical lock, or only BEST?
BEST specifies the KD318 for its KD Series cylindrical and tubular equipment. It cuts a 1 inch hole, so it applies wherever a 1 inch bore is what the prep calls for, but the sizing is published against BEST KD Series hardware. For another manufacturer's lockset, work from that lock's own template and bore size rather than assuming a match.
3) Is the KD318 a drill bit or a lock part?
It's a tool, not a component that stays in the door. The KD318 is an installation accessory, a 1 inch auger bit used to prepare the door for BEST cylindrical hardware. Nothing about it becomes part of the finished lock.
4) Is one KD318 bit enough to prep a door, or do I need other bits too?
The KD318 covers the 1 inch bore only. A cylindrical lock prep normally also takes a larger cross bore for the lock body plus faceplate and strike routing, so the KD318 is one piece of the kit rather than the whole prep. Follow the installation template supplied with the specific BEST KD Series lockset for the remaining cuts.
5) Why an auger bit instead of a hole saw for door prep?
An auger's cutting geometry pulls itself through and clears chips as it goes, which gives a cleaner hole in wood door material. The KD318 uses that auger design at a 1 inch diameter for BEST KD Series equipment installation.
6) Is the KD318 the right tool for a maintenance shop standardizing on BEST hardware?
If your facility runs BEST KD Series cylindrical and tubular hardware, yes. Having the KD318 on the truck means the 1 inch bore is cut to the size BEST specs every time, which matters when you are servicing the same lock across a campus or a portfolio of buildings.
