    The other method for marking the hole in the jamb is as follows. First install the bolt into the door. Next put some lipstick or grease on the end of the deadbolt, where it comes out the edge of the door. Then fully close the door and extend the deadbolt so that it makes contact with the jamb. Drill a 1" hole directly in the center of where the mark was made. That's it.

    Out of the several vids re: doors & windows I’ve been researching, you’re the first to be prolific with saying “ahs”!. With that said, it’s time to say good bye

      You are right, I never noticed that before but I did say “ah” a lot. Time to brush up on the acting classes.

    wow, thanks so much for making this video. I could have never figured this out on my time. Time to head to the hardware store to pick up some new drill accessories for this type of job!

    I plan to replace an old snap lock on an old wooden entry door with a deadbolt lock. My problem is the current opening for the lock is only 1". Could I make this opening the required 2 and 1\8" with a hole saw????

      It would be hard to do without a jig. Your hole saw will want to move around a bunch.

    decent video but theres a few problems i can see. usually the allignment on those latch plates is pretty precise or they wont latch right, the sort of general hold the mechanism in the hole and outline it i dont think is really precise enough.
    also angling the screws like that, even though its nice to get a stud, will mean they wont be flush with the plate

      If you put the deadbolt in the door you can put lipstick on the end of the bolt and close the door and throw the bolt. This will show you exactly where to drill your hole in the jamb.Screws won’t be flush but small price to pay for a secured door. Its necessary for security to hit a stud. Otherwise one would want to use a heavy duty strike that allows the 3” screws to line up with stud straight on.

    Hello, I just installed a Gatehouse deadbolt lock. Everything looks good and seems ok, but the key will only release if it is in 'locked' position. Also, once the key is out I cannot turn the thumbturn. Can you advise me? Thank you.

      vavavee most likely have your screws to right in your knob.

    I like this video. What is the name of the tool you're using at 6:51?

    • @executiverailz

      Latch guide punch. It’s not necessary if you close the door you can use a sharpie and draw a circle on the jamb through the 1” hole. You’ll want to do it from both sides in order to get a good idea where the center is.

      Stuart Krantz thnx for info....so if I throw the lock across the room....i will then know what size it is......? not following...mine does not show any size and not quite sure what template to use....I think the 2 3/8 is the more std size so will go with that....thnx....

      garlicdawg the standard backset for residential is 2 3/8" the standard backset for commercial is 2 3/4 most locks are able to accommodate either.
