INSTALLING a double cylinder deadbolt “explaining how it works”

[@chichita9202]

THANK YOU I removed the deadbolt to paint the door and couldn't get it to fit back again. You are the only youtuber that showed the UP mark on the staff. I subscribed. Good video

Few tips as a locksmith: Do not ever put oil in a pin-tumbler lock! This can really gum up your lock. Use lighter lubricants like tri-flow, PTFE, or my favourite, Fluid Film (this is what Medeco warranties their locks with). Also, make sure that the hole for the deadbolt on the jamb side is at least 1 inch deep. Anything less will prevent the bolt from deadlocking, hence making it incredibly easy to open with a screwdriver. Last, make sure you have the right strike plate. This ensures smooth operation. As a bonus, you can add a security strike plate with 3" screws, but that may not be necessary if it is a low-security interior setting.

Well done mate; you helped me a lot. They say a picture paints a thousand words, and this video did the same. Instructions are hopeless in the box... reckon they were written by someone who never installed one in their life lol... Thanks.

Key locks should always be installed so that the teeth of the keys point up. At 2:37 in the video, the lock is installed upside down; at 2:42, it is installed correctly.

thank you Im sure I compleatly have mine installed wrong and now after watching your video I shall rectify the problem Thanks

Very straightforward Its definitely tricky at that last stage and the " A" on the metal plate where the bolt comes out is upside-down, but the bolt works!! 😊👍Now make videos on how to fix your car! (Lol) Great video!

I installed a double cylinder dead bolt lock tonight and followed the directions completely. The mechanism works great, however only if I dont tighten the screws. Why does it not work when the screws are tight?. Shouldnt they be tight so the housing doesnt move around. The screws dont appear to get in the way of the action, so why wont the lock engage when theyre tight? What am I missing?

[@honolulu_sad_boi]

I don't have those screws on either side

Thanks you 1st time. New lock new house

Having a window on my door that could be easily broken allowing access to the inside “thumb turn”, I need a double cylinder dead bolt.
