How To Make a Deadbolt Move So Smoothly Into The Hole :) AWESOME Hack!

[@bdlii]

Did this successfully today. I have done it with relative success in past but your two tips really helped. Marking the lock with magic marker so you know where to work is key. Then using a dremel to file down the strike plate is huge time saver. I used a file in the past but the dremel makes short work of it. Thanks mang!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Excellent! Glad to help! Thank you for watching and sharing your stupendous results, we appreciate it, hope you have a great weekend my friend. Guru Mike

[@ernestayo6131]

Good idea. One can also remove the striker plate. Pound a match stick in the screw holes. Screw the striker plate back on placing the screws in the 3, 6, 9 or 12 clock position, between the match plug & old screw hole. Depending which way you need to move the plate 1/16 inch. Right, down, left or up. 😊

[@MartinP9320]

Toothpicks/ matchsticks with wood glue. This is the way.

This video saved my marriage! 😅 My husband kept telling me to just push on the door to get the deadbolt to turn in winter. It didn’t work for me, but it did for him.💪🏻 We were fighting about it last night, I found your video this morning. He watched it, followed your directions and VOILA the door locks easy peasy!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

So Glad we could help you Maria that is what this whole channel is about, Helping with the simple things and saving money doing it...thanks Mike

[@foresthillgardens7904]

In this case I might be inclined to agree with your husband. The door likely has a weatherstripping trim that should be compressed to work well. If you grind out the latch plate then the door won't compress the weatherstripping will not be as effective

[@michaellane4762]

When I was younger I did home repairs for years and I always had a set of files just for repairs like that. Always amazed people how simple the repair was.

Over the years I have trying to fix deadbolts by removing the plate and chiseling with uneven results. Your method makes a great deal of sense and I will be using it next time I have the deadbolt issue. Fortunately, I have a Dremel so I am all set. Great video!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thank you very much Steve! Glad to help, we appreciate the view and comment my friend, have a fantastic rest of your week. GuruMike

[@Manny-mq8gm]

I did customer service for many years with a large construction company. I figured out that message many years ago by marking the bolt with white caulking then letting the boat hit the striker plate and then trimming the striker plate appropriately. In some cases I actually had to remove the striker plate and trim the wood behind it and then put the striker plate back but I always got it to work smoothly.

Thank you. You must have been reading my mind. My wife and me just bought a new home last November. The front door deadbolt doesn't catch right. You have to pull the door inward to get it to catch. I had it on my 1 year anniversary to fix list. I'll do it myself now. I own a Dremel myself. A must for different tasks. I was not wanting to remove of the stricker. plate. Once again, thank you Mike!! You channels are awesome 👍👍

[@Beehashe]

I used the bacon grease on my deadbolt and it slides even smoother😜 Before Dremels we used to put the ball end of a ball peen hammer against the strike plate and wallop the flat face with a rubber mallet and it would open up the hole so the dead bolt fit looser.

[@bigm383]

I did a similar thing with my front door. Kind of panel beat the striker plate with a piece of brass rod and a hammer.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

LOL, we're with you on that Ben, the use of a bph and a good wallop can work, but we usually find it creates more damage than we could stomach :) Been there done that LOL! Thanks for watching and for the comment, did some reminiscing on the many things I've destroyed in my days LOL. GuruMike

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great week. Guru Mike & team

[@AWAKE_PA]

Good suggestion. I would probably take the mass off the plunger since it shows you exactly where the contact is, and it can stand to lose some material without losing it's strength. Whereas the entry is already quite thin. Just my thoughts.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Great suggestion! Thank you for your input. Have a fantastic day my friend. Guru Mike & team

[@AWAKE_PA]

@@MrKnowItAllGuru Another thing to try is, turning the plunger in and out while pressing in against the door, pulling the door handle toward you, pulling the door handle up and pushing the door handle down. If one of those exercises eliminates the plunger rubbing, you will know where it's rubbing. Example: Pulling up on the door handle allows the plunger to flow smoothly - Therefore the plunger/frame plate is impacting at the bottom of the plunger/wall plate.

I used one of my metal burrs and variable speed drill to fix the plate on a relative's door. Those burrs come in many shapes and sizes, also bits especially made for aluminum (coarse don't clog) as well. I don't have a Dremel and those burrs take metal off very fast. Usually used in an air operated die grinder but since i didn't have it or a compressor at her house, the drill worked fine.

I install smart door locks for living. And this is particularly crucial for smooth operation otherwise you wear out the batteries or worse at the lock won't work.

[@steveolive9991]

In regards to baking bacon: place the bacon on a wire rack (cookie cooling rack or similar) and then place the rack on a foil lined pan to make clean up easy. By placing the bacon on a wire rack instead, the bacon grease drips down onto the foil, making the bacon tastier and crispier than if it had lied in its own grease. If you want to make the bacon really crispy, sprinkle kosher salt over the bacon before baking it; the more salt on the bacon, the crispier the bacon.

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

New to your channel. I subscribed to Sweet Project cars wat back! Loved this video!

I worry about the aluminum leaching into the Bacon? What do you think? Subscribed! So much FUN to Learn from you! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Inside the metal plate that is screwed to the door jam, there's a little tab in there, you can stick a screwdriver in there and pry that tab out a little bit until it latches firmly with no slack. If that doesn't work, send me some pictures to [e-mail] and we will see if we can get you pointed in the right direction my friend.

Hoo boy you're not kidding about the screws wanting to go back to the old holes. Had that happen a few years back until I'd about filled the whole darned hole with wood filler and redrilled everything 😅

[@Marcoosianism]

To fill the old screw hole try drilling it out with a 1/4" drill bit then tapping in a 1/4" dowel with wood glue and levelling it smooth when dry. You can now carefully drill your new hole without the bit slipping into the old hole.

[@alexguzman5547]

@@Marcoosianism oh it wasn't so much the bit wanting to go back to the old holes as the screws themselves. The wood of the frame had been cut in a really poor way to create the hole for the lock's bolt (looked like someone missed their mark and decided to use a chisel instead) so even after plugging the old holes the screws would either burst out into the hole for the bolt, or would push the plugs enough to wiggle. Replacing part of the frame was something we considered, but everyone else was dithering about it so I got fed up with it and went to the hardware and fixed it up the best way that I could 😅

It’s a good place to start. But in my case the alignment is off to the point where the bolt reaches the edge of the plate. So it definitely needs to be repositioned so I wouldn’t call it a waste of time if filing won’t do the trick.

Here's another quick tip: if you DO decide that you want to move the holes slightly left or right, you can just take some matchsticks, cut off the heads then jam, hammer to seat or break them off into the holes that were drilled. then fill with wood glue from a dropper. Now you can drill without worrying about cracking, splitting or the drill bit walking back in and following the original hole.

Best way to do bacon in oven, do want you did for prep, put it in a cold oven. Set your oven to 400 degrees, once it hits 400 watch it close, it takes 2-4 minutes and your done.

[@user-mq9co4tl1w]

Tap a wooden golf tee into the existing holes then break or cut it off then you can make new holes with a drill without it wanting to go over into the original holes...if you grind off too much "meat" from the plate it would be too thin to survive a kick...

Reference bacon: At 450 deg. bacon splatters - keep the oven at 400 deg. & it doesn't splatter.

Thanks for the tip jp! We really appreciate the view and comment, hope you have a great day. Guru Mike

You can see that the piece sticking out is drooping and it's not coming out bone straight from the. Why not fix the drooping metal lock rather than grinding out the hole where the lot goes?

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

You can do this fix any way you want to Lynda, we are just sharing what we know works. Thanks. Guru Mike

Why wouldn’t just trim the deadbolt?

[@mr.aautoworld961]

I use a carbide burr, it will work better

My house’s foundation is shifting. One door in particular is getting your cure. Now if you could find a fix for my shower’s sliding doors, would be great.

Bacon still spatters, but it goes inside your oven which is way harder to clean.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

We'd rather have it in the oven than coating our kitchen cabinets, ceiling, countertops, appliances etc. It's contained to one area that has to be cleaned, that's a win in our book :) Thanks for the view, have a great day. Guru Mike & team

I want that pool.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

It's a blessing for sure :) Sure helps on these HOT Florida days my friend. Thanks for the view and comment, have a great day. Guru Mike & team

Well you've weakened the strike plate, essentially defeating the integrity of the dead bolt. Now you have a piece of wood trim "backing" the bolt and a thin strip of metal from the plate. One good kick and the lock is defeated. Seems to me some enterprising manufacturer could make an assortment of strike plates with the opening shifted either forward/backward or up/down. Would be a seller.

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

Unfortunately, you have weak strike plates which makes that door easy to kick in. Also, all that glass isn't the best for security either.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Well your comment is not the point of the video...and what I have is better than leaving the door wide open...plus I dont live in fort knox and I have Smith and Wesson items that will be used if some idiot tries to kick in the door.
