Usually a 1234 gap that you should fill a saw or router for cutting away space on your door trim

A chisel works too but can be ugly hole punch to mark your hole locations with the included template drill drill bit to predrill the screwholes file to help clean up edges and add a slight chamfer to the deadlock bolts holes if need be two long screws package fails to include screws long enough to actually pass through the jamb woodspacer and reach the stud im pointing at said screws in photo
