  "description_excerpt": "The present invention generally relates to installation of door locking devices, and more particularly relates to a tool kit for supporting installation and/or uninstallation of a door lock including door knobs, door lever, deadbolt and the like.\n\nInstallation of door locks typically involves determining a suitable position for mounting a door lock comprising door knobs or levers on a door and drilling holes for door knob or door lever and latch assembly using a drill template, followed by mounting the latch assembly and then securing door knobs on either side of the door. It is generally required to hold door knobs on both sides of the door during installation or uninstallation of door knobs.\n\nHolding a door knob on one side of the door while assembling or dismantling a door knob on other side may be difficult or even frustrating, especially for people who perform the above task for the first time and for people who are not skilled in performing such tasks. Moreover, holding both the knobs on either side of the door at the same time while installing or uninstalling door locks may be difficult to perform and time consuming in many instances. This may also result in incomplete or inaccurate installation of door locks on the door.\n\nExisting devices that aids in door lock installation includes tool kits for locating door holes and drill guides or templates for drilling holes on specific marked areas during installation. From the prior art, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 8,443,523 B2 shows a tool kit for locating a door lock in relation to a strike plate. U.S. Pat. No.",
