You might also find a jig at your local home improvement store that lines everything up for you.
Depends on if interior or exterior. If exterior no, you want good security locks and they need to be installed a certain way. If interior, I have a solution but depends on whether you like doing trim work. You can still buy locks that go on the outside of the door but your trimwork around the door may or may not have to be altered a bit. You can also buy old ones depending on your décor but always remember to get both halves, the handle part and the part that goes on exterior trim. Those little parts usually get left behind or thrown out with trim work and they are very hard to match.
These are all interior doors. I plan to install new schlage bedroom or bath interior locks. The trim has already been installed by someone else, the people who switched out the abused hollow core doors for 6 panel doors.
