Hammer and a chisel should take 10 minutes to clean out 1/8" lumber in there unless its a Rock Maple door? There are better ways to do this, but it require you to have the right equip. of tools. Not worth renting or buying IMO.

Thanks Jeff, I will check to see if the bolt is round, it is a cheapo pine or some sort of fiber door... door will be replaced eventually but don't have the $$$ for that right now.
And yes I know of the tools you are speaking of and wish I could buy them but again trying to do this without spending a bundle.
