The deadbolt lock design is without a doubt one of the safest lock designs in the market. Whether it is for you apartment or for your office, you can rest assured that you and your property are protected. In addition to being so security effective, deadbolt locks are super easy to install. So if you are the type who likes to get their hands dirty by picking up DIY projects then this would be a great one to try out. Below is how to install the lock in five simple steps.
How To Install A New Door Lock
STEP 1 - Make sure that you have all the tools
The first and most important thing to do when installing a deadbolt lock is ensuring that you have all the tools that you will need. This will ensure that the job is done quickly, safely and efficiently. The tools you use are more or less the same regardless of then deadbolt lock brand you choose. They include things like hammers, drill templates, chisels and many more to be discussed later.
STEP 2 - Take the necessary measurements
With all your equipment in place, the next step is to take the required measurements. Before you do this, you will have to identify the desired location for the lock. After you mark it, you will use the tape measure to take the required dimensions. One of the most important ones is the thickness of the door. This will determine whether or not the lock will fit and function effectively.
STEP 3 - Use the lock template kit to mark important slots
This genius piece of equipment is designed to help you determine where to drill the holes for your deadbolt lock installation. The kit is adjustable and this is where the measurements that you took in step 2 come in handy. All you need to do here is calibrate the kit to the door’s dimensions and fasten it over where you would like for the lock to go.
Step 4 - Drill the holes
With the template in place, you will use the drill to make holes on the door where the different lock plates will go. All you need to do here is to follow the template and drill where you should.
STEP 5 - Install the deadbolt, the strike plate and the locks themselves
Finally, you will install the different parts of the lock where their respective drilled holes are. The first to go in is always the deadbolt then the lock and finally the strike plate on the door frame. You will use screws and nails to fasten the parts and the result is a neat and fully functional door.
Bottom line
How to Install A Deadbolt Lock is obviously not rocket science. All you need to do is to make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions and our simple guidelines and you will have yourself a new and properly functioning lock in no time. Just make sure that you protect yourself and your door and everything will be fine.

What I use instead of lipstick, chalk or pencil mark is the 1 inch hole saw bit to mark where the hole should be drilled on the door frame. Just slide the 1 inch hole saw back into the hole you just drilled out for the dead bolt, close the door and using a screw driver and a hammer, and tap the 1 inch hole saw bit. Open the door and you will see a dotted circle created by the saw bit. This is the exact spot that will be perfectly inline with the latching and the hole to the strike plate.
TY ! 👏 👏 👏
I’m a locksmith, that’s fucking genius.
Recommend always using longer screws to secure the strike plate so the screws reach the door framing. Much harder to bust through.
Yes I always recommend the same thing
Thanks for the video, I did not even know they made a template, but I got one and got my deadbolt put in. Without videos like this probably wouldn’t have been able to do it correctly thanks again
This helped me tremendously in setting up a keyless deadbolt and creating the striking plate hole. Thank you!!!!!
Anytime
Thank you for this video, following your instructions I installed a new deadbolt perfectly!
Thanks, my wife wanted a deadbolt lock on our bedroom door and this video gave me the confidence to do it myself 😃. It looks great and I saved a lot of money! Most importantly, wife is happy and thinks I'm a hero!
That sounds great let me know if you have any issues or if you need help with anything
What the hell are you doing in your bedroom that you require a deadbolt on the door?
@@MAGAMAN none of your business really. But my spouse feels more secure and gives us more time to call police and grab our guns in case of intruders. You probably have locks on your house. What the hell are YOU doing?
@@MAGAMAN 🤣🤣
Good work!
You never said what kind of drill bit to drill the large hole! Important to know!
Wow! You make installation sound so easy. Good work!
Excellent video- very detailed, clear instructions. I ordered the kit!!- about to install Yale Assure SL deadbolt.
I know this is common sense to most of you but I’ve seen a lot of people use deadbolts with a LEVER to unlock it from the inside rather than a key for BOTH sides. Which is fine if it’s a door with no windows. If you have a door with windows, someone simply needs to break the glass and reach through and unlock it. Always use a 2 way key deadbolt if windows are present.
Believe it or not, a lot of places don’t carry these anymore!
Even hardware stores sometimes don’t have them. Have to order them online
Thanks for posting the video. I have been able to install two deadbolt locks. I will be installing another soon.
I hope you realize the ryobi strike plate template tool has the chisel on the end of it, it also will go to the correct depth so you don't need a chisel.
A deadbolt installed as shown can easily be defeated with brute force because the bolt will just tear out the wooden jamb of the door. Better quality deadbolts come with a metal catch for the deadbolt which is installed under the catch plate which is secured with 2-3 long screws which reach the framing around door. Installation is similar it simply requires a deeper mortice for the catch side.
Great information. Thank you from a first timer!
Brother this video was awesome! Thank u cuz I needed this..U have a new sub👍🏼
Setting up the actuator, the flat shaft that rotates the deadbolt in and out, is a must. Pre-rotating the cylinder and inside knob to function correctly must be done right, and should have been shown.
Thanks a lot.... Your tutorial is clear and understandable... I'm doing this right now
You made it seemless and easy! Thank you
Should have bought this tool learned my lesson good video!
Great video iam doing mi striker this Saturday cool i learned something now
Beautiful 🙌 well done 👍... I need to do this...
Exactly what i needed to know, thank you.
Happy this video could help you

Great video one improvement I’d like to see is how to the measure for the striker plate so it lines up with the bolt
Awesome video thank you
Great and easy product to set up!
We just bought a new home, and we have 4 exterior doors, 4 closet doors, plus 2 bathroom doors that need to be replaced. So I am getting the replacement doors and will be putting in all new locks and hardware. It may have been pure luck, but I came across your video. Think I will put in deadbolts in the 4 exterior doors, just for safety sake. All the doors should be here next week, I hope. Wish me luck. Thank you for this video.
Good luck and remember if you need help always call professional Locksmith

Great video mannnnn. Thanks a lot. First dead bolt install was a success. #lit

What should be up or down.
Sorry

Overall, good job. Latch chisel could be better. Use Ryobi tool (which you used!) to chisel the wood - much cleaner finish.
1) Make sure the door sits square within the opening
2) Make sure the doorknob latch is working properly
3) I install my deadbolts at the same height as the light switch
Awesome video
Thank you
You have a Milwaukee jig to make sure your hole is in the right place, but you are just guessing at where you are going to have the center? Why even use the jig? Also, a lot of people complain that this jig moves around basically ruining their doors. I used the Ryobi Hole jig and it basically is a use once and throw it away jig, but the results were decent.
Unlike the Milwaukee, the hole positions lock in place so the door knob hole placement is not going to move around front to back and the entire jig screws to the front of the door, so it's not going to move too much. The problem is, the entire jig is plastic and even though the door I used it on was the maximum thickness for the jig, it still managed to screw in slightly crooked.
The jig you used to mark the strike plate has a little piece of metal hanging off the end. it's sharp and it fits perfectly in the hole on the front of the door. You are supposed to use that for removing the wood for the strike plate after you smack the outline into it. I didn't figure this out until I had spent about 10 minutes messing around with a chisel. You never mentioned it and I don't know if you are just unaware of it's use, of had a problem with it. It would have been useful to know if there is a reason to not use it instead of a chisel. If there is no reason NOT to use it, you wasted a bunch of my time today by not mentioning it's other use.
Great video. So informative. Thank you.
Think you. Your. Very. Helpful. To. Me😅
a sheezil..... i love him!
Nice demo easy to understand but i think u don't need to mark the middle hole coz u already have the hole centered..
Yes it’s good to mark the center before you drill
what if I already have a more linear hole on the door and want to make it a round hole? any ideas?
Are there locks available with distance from the edge greater than (2+3/4)" also? I need somewhere between (3+3/8)" to (3+3/4)".
Not from what I know there is 2-3/4 inch backset or 2 3/8 inch backset
Also there is 5” backset but it’s a special order
WHATS. THE. NAME. OF. THAT. ORANGE. KIT. & IS. THE. SAW. IN. IT. ? CANT. C. IT. WELL. !!
ANY. WAY. TKS. A. GOOD. LEARNING. VIDEO. !!
Find the link in the description of the video
What size drill bit for the big hole?????????
Good question. Wondering the same.
It’s 2-1/8” size and 1” for the side hole
It’s 2-1/8” size and 1” for the side hole
Can you confirm all of those steps work on a fiberglass door? Worried that the chiseling part won’t work.
How do I install a deadbolt on French doors? Same way?
I dont have a drill like u have, i dont have drill the wood theres already a hole for the hole for the other lock
I have a Studio Door that’s about 3 3/4 inches THICK , can this template open wide enough for that?
Hi Joshua,
So for your question, the answer is No.
this template is for standard door thickens, but if you like to do it yourself most locks that you can buy on hardware stores also come with paper templates so you can pretty much mark the holes for the installation even though your door is thick as you mentioned, otherwise you can call a local locksmith to help you with this project. something very very important to mention is that you will need a special lock that can function with this door thickness and it’s not going to be easy one to find one... consider your options and talk to a local locksmith company that can assist you I think that’s going to be the best way.
I hope that helped
Silver Eagle Locksmith : Thanks sooo much for the extremely quick response! You’re awesome. The good news is that I got an extension kit for my deadbolt, so I’m all set with that part. I’ll definitely try out the template that comes with it and see how I can work it. Thanks so much!
It’s my pleasure to help, you have a great day
What about the demo for metal door???
It’s almost the same thing, but most of the time metal doors are used in commercial properties so I do recommend to have a licensed professional locksmith to do it’s got to be comply with building codes, fire codes etc
My lock didn't come with a strike plate :
Already made
I already got the hole
HAHA you skipped the one part I needed. Drilling the hole for deadbolt to go into.
Standard between locks is 5 1/2 inch. Not 6". Center to center.
I do both with no problem
Silver Eagle Locksmith question. You use the 23/8 templet, how do you know when to drill with the 2 3/4 templet?
Agustin Velez: First check what backset "template" your deadbolt is compatible with (might be one or the other or both). If it's either 2 3/8 or 2 3/4 then you don't have a choice. If it's both then check the backset of your doorknob below. You would usually want to match the backset of your doorknob so it looks consistent. If there happens to be no doorknob and your deadbolt supports both backset templates then the choice is yours!
Silver Eagle Locksmith..That’s not the question. The Standard is 5 1/2 “. That’s what manufacturers use in standard cut doors. That’s what hardware manufacturers use to make their products such as reinforcement wraps. You Can Use 6,12, 16 3/8 or any other number you can dream up, but the question is “What is the Standard “??? It’s 5 1/2”. Not sure why? But it is..
Is It ok to not chisel the door side? Mine is working fine without the chiseling? Is It wrong?
No it’s not wrong. chiseling designed for cosmic and for door gap issues but it will work with or without. is your door have Enough gap between the door and the frame?
@@S.E.Locksmith Thanks for the respond, Yes the gap is huge and I didn't think it needed the chisel. Also, the lock is working fine so no issues at all. Thanks for your response. do you have any idea if deadbolt lock dimensions are the standard size for Schlage smart locks?
Schlage Smart locks work with 2-3/8” and 2-2/4” backset door installation and the deadbolt is adjustable.
I wanna see all this done on a metal door...too see how hard it is to chisel out for the plates
How much would you charge to install a deadbolt on average ?
It’s depends on the door and the lock type
Thanks. It's like an average fiberglass door and I had someone quote me 300 to do the same thing you did to that door with same type of lock. I was just wondering if that was a fair price
$200 - $250 is a fair price for labor including new standard lock and service call.
Could you put a lock on my door , and how much , fire rated door .
Are you from Las Vegas?
No Canada Toronto Ontario
You shouldnt use a power drill to drill in the screws on the bolt lock itself. You could strip it. They should always be done by hand
I already have a hole
Suena muy mal tu taladro Makita, revisalo!
were is the metal door? that's what i came for?
Longest intro ever
Thank you for the video🙂 very helpful, you got my sub🙂🫡👍
