    Solid info and step-by-step instruction. Back in the day, when hanging and installing the hardware on solid and hollow-core slabs, I mortised the hinges and jambs, and bored the knob and locksets on many of our projects. You covered the tips and tricks of installing a deadbolt and explained it well. Good job.

    Good video, mostly. The fascia plate is not a strike plate, even if you add 3” screws but it’s MUCH better than the typical 1/2” screws that most “professionals” install on the door jamb (defeating the purpose). It appears the client doesn’t have a true strike plate on the primary deadbolt either, as most homes, which is a better investment. As mentioned in another comment, the plastic backer faces towards the inside. I would also use a deadbolt that has a plate on the door itself but cannot speak for this specific model. Kwikset has made some mistakes over the years but their newest line of locks are top notch.

    Good video it answered most of my questions. The Kwik instructions calls for a 1 5/8" inside hole, my hole kit only has 1 1/2" to 1 3/4", Can I use the 1 1/2" hole saw? Thank You.

    The Kwikset jig makes all this much easier. Drive-in bolt eliminates chiselling the door too. Grease to mark the jamb?

    Very informative. I did notice that you paced the plastic piece on the outside facing of the door. Another video suggested placing it on the inside facing door. Does it matter?

      I know your question is 3 years old but it does matter. I would recommend following the instructions provided with your lock. They will most likely say inside.

    I followed the instructions on installing my deadbolt according to the video above. It wouldn't work well at all, very rough closing & opening.
    The Video above is incorrectly installed, the white plastic should be installed on the inside not the towards the outside the way he installed it. If you install it like he did, when you tighten the two screws inside you draw the mechanism towards the inside and won't line up. Plastic towards inside it will be like a spacer & it will work perfectly & smoothly. NOTE: That he put a long screw inside the hole towards the back to hold the mechanism.
    You can also use a 1-1/2" hole saw, instruction call for 1- 5/8' hole . Most of the hole saw kits do not have 1-5/8" saw.
    I was going crazy, because every time I would tighten the two screws in the inside the whole thing would be hard to lock-open. I was thinking it was at the frame, I almost ruined the frame.
    Although the video did help, only for that error.

    Where can we get that dark grease? Lowes and Autozone didn't have it.

      You can use lipstick instead of grease to help mark the spot.

    Hey how do you make sure that when you are drilling the second hole on the inside of the door your drill bit doesn't go through the other side. Also what if I have a solid wood door would I have to chisel out the entire circular shape? Thanks

      Use a fostner bit to remove the entire hole.

      Mark the desired depth on the forstner bit with a piece of tape.

    • @cruz1aviator
      @cruz1aviator 6 років тому

      That’s a forstner bit meant for a drill press. Drills out everything to a hollow void. Solid wood? Remove door, mount on drill press, set depth on press and lower the bit and eat up wood.
      If you cant find a forstner bit that big or that cheap, drill out the hole with typical hole saw , then remove the core with the forstner bit in place of chiseling it out.

      It would basically slow down anyone trying to get in while you’re inside. It also makes the exterior of the door look cleaner imho

    Would still only take a couple swift kicks to push in your door. I only prefer out swinging doors. Very hard to kick in. Good tutorial anyway.

    This should be an addition to everyone's entry doors, that way you can visually check that all the doors are inaccessible from the outside without someone inside giving them direct access. With the popularity of the lock picking lawyer and the rise in crime, it keeps their lawyer or corrupt cops from saying, "the door was unlocked, they/we walked in confused it was their friends house/wrong address for a prowler call, had to use the bathroom real bad, etc. No,. you picked the other locks and the door would not open and then you kicked it in, forced it. Book 'em under breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling which is HOME INVASION. Ask your Attorney. That shattered door means you can defend yourself/sue the jurisdiction, without worry of a lawsuit from the family/prosecution by rogue D.A.s.
