How to Replace a Deadbolt, detailed instructions

This video's definitely one of the best DIYs out there... I love how you explained in different contexts for various deadbolts. Thanks a million, dude!

[@jacksoceka9701]

This video completely misses the most difficult part of the installation. How do you you blindly insert the screws from the inside of the door where the twist lock is to where you meet the screw holes on the back of the other part of the lock that you cannot see on the side of the door that the KEY goes into on the outside of the door. This video does not even show you that part of the lock. If you have no experience doing this I guarantee that this will be the most difficult part of the installation. Toucan does not even talk about it. There are THREE parts to install. This video shows TWO parts. The door has an inside, an outside and a strikeplate. The video misses the OUTSIDE.

I did it and it was pretty easy something must be wrong with ur eyes

[@ericjackson87]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just bought my first home and I spent hours last night trying to change the dead bolt. I could not make it fit. Did not know I could simply twist it to make it line up with the center of the hole in my door. Guess I was reading the instructions half asleep. But thank you!!!

[@plantnut65]

Same here! The instructions did not show that part.

[@HappySmiles2Day]

Eric Jackson...tbis right here just saved me from going ham on the woman at Menards who said my swap of locks would be easy. I have changed other locks with no issue but after 2 hrs I was ready to scream. This tip that the instructions don't include was a life saver.

[@sehkanchance5360]

Thank you, I changed my dead bolt in less than 5 minute with your video

[@cooksonbk9436]

I so appreciated the detailed information. I'm feeling pretty confinement about doing this by myself. Like Renee said, when our fathers are gone, KZbin is the next "go to" to learn to do things our dad's would of shown us how to do. Thank you very much

[@rickw]

These instructions are in Canadian.

[@cooldog60]

+Richard Wainright Nice dog!

[@bob6610]

It appears there is glass in this door. Would it not be better to have a key lock instead of a knob lock on the interior. I guess not a problem with large glass, because person could just break the glass and walk in through the opening, but doors with smaller glass, person could break glass and reach in and unlock the dead bolt.

[@slayer171163]

"to protect your door from damage you just take a piece of paper and pop it open".... (falls off hits floor)... moment of silence😂😂

[@robgillanofficial]

Thanks for this. I actually didn't know about the extended setback on my door and wasn't aware that the bolt could be adjusted. I was wondering why things weren't lining up. Seems stupidly easy now, but I never thought to try twisting the assembly!

[@Claireishere0813]

Thank you....this video was very helpful. My lock is actually broken so I called Schlage and they are replacing it under the warranty.

[@TheDayPlayground]

if I don't have right size one of the one in the video 1.40 minutes. What should I do? thank you

[@garysingh1947]

This msg is to appreciate your help sir very helpful video !!!

[@ald7248]

Nice video, but those locks are easy touches. In New England in the 70s and 80s there was an Arrow design that became almost ubiquitous which included (among other things) - strike plates designed to splinter a door if it was ever removed. It also featured inside and outside cylinders that could not be properly aligned in the camslot without special tooling - that Arrow, itself, stopped making in the 1990s. Still waiting for a YT video for one of those bad boys 🤣😆

[@papapoodo6685]

Replace the new deadbolt for an old deadbolt? HA!!

[@juliaallen7149]

This is the second home in which kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).

[@wombats777]

You glossed over the hardest part at about 5 minutes in. How do you get the long screws into the threads on the other piece? You have to find the holes blind. I've be poking and jiggling and twisting for 20 minutes and this is the third DIY instructions I've sat through. Any tips or tricks on how to find the holes? So frustrating.

[@johnwodetzki6326]

Be a competent human?

[@whiteboyplays6940]

Thank you bro for real. Got my first place and I don't got a dad to tell me this stuff lol

[@paulao776]

of course, when I try this it doesn't work. I know have a broken lock. The bar that goes perpendicular refuses to come out. The two videos Ive watched both showed it slipping easily out. I can't figure out how to remove it. I'm so frustrated.

[@SunshineT1965]

great video, but...I can't get the door open and can't find any videos that show how to get the mechanism out so I can get the door open.

[@baronblackdragon9078]

I’m currently living on campus in a dorm, every time I come back I unlock the door but the deadbolt gets stuck?

[@jean-philippecote9317]

thanks genious. didnt fucking realise I had to UNSCREW the screws.

[@rahobby4632]

Nice. Do you have video to replace the door knob?

[@laramatch3285]

This is really fantastic. Thanks for all your care in describing each aspect of this process. You are empowering us! Much appreciated.

[@VinnyDrysdale]

"Getting the screws in is a bit of a hassle." That's the most difficult part of the job. I watched this video hoping to find a trick to make that easier, but only 5 seconds is spent on it.

[@Archysol]

This is an excellent DIY video: thorough, clear and encouraging! Very thoughtful, thank you!

[@vavavee]

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.

[@Brutalitron3000]

Thanks for the video! I just did this for the first time, and it was super easy thanks to your tips!

[@valtillman7634]

Really helpful and well done teaching video for me! Thank you. I appreciate the soft spoken voice also.

[@jennyb3651]

Thank you! This video was a huge help! The instructions that came with the lock were terrible. It took a few tries, but I've got it working now. Couldn't have done it without you!

[@derekfromtauranga6012]

Tip !!! Rub a bit of soap on screws and they will go in a lot easier especially those long screws.

[@CarolF-e6n]

What about if you can't get bolt out because you can't open the door how do you get the bolt

[@reinarivas7503]

Thank you for making this video and just wanted to let you know that for me it is the best 1 in this category simple and easy to understand. Great job I look forward to see more of your videos. From a 56 year old single woman THANK YOU.

i cant get that stupid adjuster off for a non chiseled door

[@pbaruch]

Great helpful tutorial! Thanks so much.

[@bertgurley4958]

I'm having issues lining up the screws. I can not find a video to address that issue

[@danidream4267]

He gives off dad vibes 🥰

[@jameswebb321]

Excellent instructions, thank you!

[@Searching4DMT]

Good instructions, i have that same makita drill 🔥

[@Daris_13]

This video was a big help, thank you, god bless.

[@guyritter8342]

you only showed one side of the door when installing the deadbolt

[@glodaily]

This was so informative. Thank you!

[@aye.7423]

Thanks for an easy instructions..

[@frangiew9076]

you did better job showing us how it all works, when your not sure how to do something. you need to be shown alot of detail to be confident enough to tackle the job...thanks

[@mra95662]

Where is your troubleshooting video?

[@TheTlinget]

Excellent ….. Thanks !!

[@johnsonvender1067]

Hi, can you change the no faceplate type of deadbolt to a faceplate type of deadbolt? Or are you stuck to using a no faceplate type for the duration of the door? (Unless you have to do some chiseling)

[@cooldog60]

I have a defiant dead bolt lock. I can not get the bolt to adjust. The instruction say to just pull it out. I tried, don't work. Any ideas?

[@jturnrich]

I’d battled the last step of screwing the plate to the door for a half hour, including taking everything apart and starting over. Still a problem. I watched your video and that one little tip about aligning the latch because it can cause a bind was the solution. Tiniest of tweaks to the latch and voila!

[@sharonsampson9044]

I have a deadlock on the top of my door. the model with splines on the key and its just spinning around in the lock. tried thread tape and no success. without really damaging my door has anyone any ideas. I thought of glueing the key in to turn it.

[@Striker50_]

I love KZbin. Thank you so much great sir

[@RodSalm]

I've replaced the deadbolt but the cover doesn't line up to the hole like the old deadbolt. It's off horizontally a bit. Any advice or tips?

[@jaimiebox247]

i cant get my dead bolt to stay locked with the handle and key in. got to unlock it and pull key out and dead bolt knob will not turn. what did i do wrong?

[@rk9515]

On the deadbolt the tails pieces do they have to gace oppisite ways?. Like on had to be up on has to be down.

[@andreaw7787]

Excellent tut. Recently moved and I’d like to change the bead bolt for safety reasons.

[@lovegod923]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️you explain it so nicely! You rock!!

[@ThatDrummer_73]

Thanks for the DIY video. Sounds like Clint Eastwood. Lol!

[@cookingoptions4690]

I see when you removed the deadbolt plate with the 2 screws it appeared to be in a frame but i have the no screw plate, but could not find that anywhere so i am hoping that i can leave that part in and only replace the 2 sides where the hand latch and key ring are.

[@real_ultrajoe]

I recommend put 3 to 4 in screws on your door deadbolt plate and hinges

[@joannewright6899]

Great details. I need to change my deadbolt. this will be my first time. I feel confident that I can do this thanks to your video.:)

[@malka1954]

thank you so much. I just installed it properly thanks to your instructions. Much appreciated.

[@hazeld7197]

Thank you so much, I am ever so grateful!!

[@dawanhopper3395]

Thanks man worked a door for two hours until I watched your video

[@williamjackson982]

I know how to change the dead bolt. I need to find out how to make it shorter.It doesn’t just twist and pull out or push in.

[@JasonSullivan-oh4bh]

thank you very helpful

[@amycastro8904]

Thank you so much for this video, you really helped me out

[@mytv80]

Excellent instructions...saved me a lot of trouble!!!

[@jean-philippecote9317]

do us all a favor and show us how to take out a deadbolt without visible screws

[@wattage]

Nice and simple. Thank you for the easy steps and nice vid.

[@rosyguerra6467]

I’ve tried using my screw to pull back for the deadbolts to come out but it’s really stuck in there. Any suggestions on how to take it out ? I’m trying to change locks but it’s just that one thing that won’t come off!

[@gerardmart8076]

use an ice pick or one of those parilla sticks, you know? The ones we use to grill shrimp, etc. And try to hit the piece on the door with a little hammer, smooth not too hard, is just to unstuck it, get it loose a little bit. I hope this help!

[@patriciavannan4483]

Nice instructions if simply replacing deadbolt, however, mine is stuck locked. Bolt mechanism is broken. Door locked and piece that directly attaches to bolt will not move bolt back. How do I get door open so that I can replace bolt? Tried taking door off by removing door pins, but door fitted properly and will not move. Suggestions anyone??

[@YoyoR719]

mine was stuck locked also, because a small piece broke off. Once I removed the outside( where key goes in) and the inside (hand unlock part) I could see that on the inside of hole on door (opposite the strike plate) that there was a circular cutout in the wood. I dont know if your door has this part cut out. I was able to put a screw driver through one of the holes and push the deadbolt piece towards the middle of the door. Then I could open the door to replace deadbolt. I hope you can understand what I am trying to describe with no photos.

[@debimacdonald8814]

Thank you so much! This was perfect. So nice of you to provide these instructions! Thanks again.

[@mhutchison7064]

Great detail. So helpful. Thanks so much.

Excellent

[@sukhjinder71]

Thanks. Very thorough Video.

[@raesvisiontv348]

Thank you soo much for your help!! I did it!!!

[@wezelbud]

You might as well use a hook and eye for a lock. Any criminal that wants in will just break the glass on that door and reach in and unlock that mighty deadbolt.

[@wezelbud]

On a side note your Instructions where super clear and helpful though very well done.

[@jackno7danls]

Thanks! Saved me a call to a locksmith.
