I am just finishing a new mahogany frame and panel entry door, and I used the Milescraft kit to cut the hinge and bolt mortises for a new set of hardware. The kit is very versatile in accommodating many styles of hardware. My only (but serious) concern is a lack of indexing features for hinge mortise placement. I "solved" this inscribing my own on the plastic template, but this is a serious oversight in an otherwise well engineered kit.
