How to Install A Deadbolt Lock

[andrewfoumia]

I got the key code to that house! It's 51975.

Hope I can do the same for my steel door!

[brdlyrck78]

Good except for one thing. The most difficult part I had was lining up the deadbolt with the door jam strike plate. He didn't talk much about that.

@brdlyrck78 - put some paint on the end of your deadbolt, close the door and attempt to lock it. If you haven't yet drilled the hole in the door jam, you won't be able to lock the door, but there will be a paint mark exactly where you need to drill. Good luck!

That door seems to be an wood metal clad door...usually the wood is just compressed wood. You really do get what you pay for! lol

5:23, lol I know Mike's code for his house now

[videogamer24385]

@TheMassAnnoyance No you don't thats his programming code, not the entry code.

[TheMassAnnoyance]

@videogamer24385 Captain obvious strikes again...

[videogamer24385]

@TheMassAnnoyance You obviously did not since you made a folly comment as so.

[TheMassAnnoyance]

@videogamer24385 Oh, fantastic, I see what You did there. Well done. I'm sure Your sense of humor pulls all the girls.

[TheMassAnnoyance]

@videogamer24385 That was sarcasm btw. I wasn't going to point it out but You don't seem too familiar with it so...

[TheGrayman1234]

You are gonna use that little strike plate?! Shoot, why even have a deadbolt.

[sndd0138]

why does he have to wear that stupid vest.

[sprintracr11]

So many 'experts" seem to forget one thing: the weakest parts of the door structure are the tiny screws on the strike plate(s) and the DOOR HINGES. It's fairly easy for the average-sized burglar to kick in a deadbolted door- the metal bolt simply shatters the lightweight wood of the door jamb when kicked in. Also, the door can be kicked in or pried loose from the hinge side. Drive LONG SCREWS (at least 2 1/2") into the strikeplate and hinges to penetrate the door studs and secure the door.

@sprintracr11

good point!

thanks

[sndd0138]

how long does this usually take?

[Thegamer5150]

I say about a half hour maybe for just a simple analogue one

[PeakedEarth]

took me an hour with boaring the holes - i also installed two deadbolts - this are getting rought out there! :) Oh AND BUY THE TEMPLATE!

It would be nice if Lowe's would carry Grade 1 locks, the Grade 2 are not really strong enough.
