steel door full deadbolt prep pov

[@curtolocknkey]

Now, this is why I watch your videos… Thanks again for learnin me…

[@mumbles1justin]

That dimple die definitely makes for a clean install. Nicely done!

[@philliphart2703]

Who makes or sells dimple dies. HPC?

[@selock]

@@philliphart2703 there are two mine is the Squeeze-Play by Sieveking and one called the Pitbull by Major :)

[@juniorhardy8713]

I have a 30 year old squeeze play myself great tool

[@Chirael]

Awesome video Jason, beautiful work as always! Your freehand skills are amazing, I would have been center punching like every hole first just out of paranoia / lack of confidence lol. I caught your “shouldn’t this be a lever?” aside too 😄. I noticed a few months ago that they discontinued the EBM when I went to order an extra one-psyched that you have something in the works for that! Great camera work here, I’m sure it was a PITA to do in addition to the work, but it was worth it and came out great. Thanks so much for making and sharing this! 🙏

[@lynh8378]

I love watching your installs! Thank you.😊

[@selock]

@@lynh8378 thanks! Happy Thanksgiving :)

[@lynh8378]

@selock Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!

[@odinslockllc]

Fun vid. I always warn customers that the squeeze play may distort the seam. If the deadbolt has drive-in collar then they can consider that option. Thanks for sharing!

[@selock]

yep, it’s not perfect by any means

[@mikes7471]

Great job !!!! It's good to you back out in the field showing us real world work and making it look soooo easy !!!!! Thanks Again !!!!

[@benjamincarrillo2819]

Nice video. I like drilling a 1/8" pilot hole before I drill with a hole saw and I also use a construction jack for cabinets to hold the door in place. keep up the good work!

[@ZAPATTUBE]

Me too

[@pafoofnic]

Actions speak louder than words. Good job!

[@mattoliverau]

Nice one Jason! I always see some new tool I've never seen before, that ours thing! Great vid!

[@WiliamBennettwildarbennett]

Awesome Field trip video. Now that I'm doing more commercial steel doors, I think I need to in vest in one of these squeeze plays too. Makes an install smooth as butter.... speaking of butter ... Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and all of the #LOCKFORCE crew

[@wallywrench9844]

Thats a nice clean install. Used a squeeze play once in the early 90's. Most of the metal doors that I came across back then were to heavy of a gauge for it to work. Still using Lori dead bolts for new installs on metal doors. May borrow a squeeze play and use your technique seeing most metal doors nowadays are thin.

Excellent JITF churrs Jason!

[@debbiemoorin1748]

Thank you Jason for another great video I was wondering what size drill bit & tap you use thank you.

[@MTwoodsrunner]

Well done Jason me boy!

[@georgeblair7129]

Sharp job! Maybe you can sell them on a nice clutched lever in the future.

[@ItsMicobs]

More than likely he tried but ppl are just too cheap

[@georgeblair7129]

@@ItsMicobs he'll ask again when it fails in a couple years of heavy use.

[@ItsMicobs]

@@georgeblair7129 at that point it’s the customers fault, even if you look at the deadbolt he moved up it was the B60 Home Depot series lock. They most likely supplied the locks

[@selock]

@@ItsMicobs did you notice how that bolt was already bent from them letting the door slam close on it for a week or so? ;)

[@GarryH-nd6tx]

Good video! Nice job!

[@lmars5933]

Fantastic clean install Jason ,thanks for the video HAPPY THANKSGIVING..🌴🐊😎

[@selock]

@@lmars5933 Happy Thanksgiving :)

[@georgebrown8312]

Wonderful work professionally done. I was wondering what that device was that consisted of a big bolt and two steel blocks that you put in the hole on the edge of the door. Now I see the you use it to make a recess for the deadbolt plate.

[@Naorriko]

Thank you very much for another great quality content. I would love to know where you can buy all the parts you used to create the necessary frame for the Bolt. Do you have another video that expands on the subject? Appreciate very much.

[@aw7248]

When using the latch prep tool, you can back up the exterior anvil half with another wrench so it doesn't twist

[@gkeyman565]

Always a great job! Have a great day

[@davidteuteberg4254]

Looks Good, Thanks

[@TheCastleLocksmith]

Excellent install

[@selock]

@@TheCastleLocksmith thank you !

[@NateGodin77]

Amazing work, I’d never try to freehand that, I’d rely on jigs, otherwise it would end up looking like something Dr. Seuss drew.

[@ken_9359]

Great job Jason. I have yet to use my squeeze play tool. Love the plate ideas. Can you give me their dimensions. Thanks again for another great video.

[@ALLworldCONSTRUCTIONLLC]

Hey thx I learned a few things

[@ImGumbyDangit]

Drilling those metal doors sure create a lot of small sharp filings. I never thought about masking tape before putting the squeeze Play in or the plates on. I've done two like this now and forgot to center both times. Had to readjust and squeeze a second time. I get 14 cranks if the ratchet as well. Is it necessary to put in a latch plate for the deadbolt in this case? What if it's a tight door fit? Thx for all the videos you do Jason - Super Helpful.

[@flipclone]

in this case I think the strike plate was just to make things look more "finished" and hide just a plain hole.

[@selock]

@@flipclone you got it! Metal frames never need it but it makes it look a bit cleaner!

[@ken_9359]

Happy Thanksgiving Kim & Jason. Time to stuff my face with turkey.

[@selock]

@@ken_9359 happy thanksgiving! Have a great day

[@mumbles1justin]

1:43 Maybe burn a foot so the tape lays flat on the surface?

[@Pyrolock]

Very Professional installation, too bad with just residential grade hardware

[@Mario55555]

Awesome video. What do you bill for something like this?

[@selock]

@@Mario55555 total was about 240

[@Mario55555]

@@selock Thank you for sharing!

[@joevonzarelli106]

Were the 2 pieces of steel you used with the squeeze play part of the squeeze play kit or something you added?

[@selock]

@@joevonzarelli106 back when I got it (25ish years ago) they did not. I believe one of the two brands does now but not sure

[@danareed1656]

nice!

[@m3Tesla]

what is the point of a dead bolt when there is a window there?

[@kabuk31]

What's the point of locks at all if there are windows?

[@selock]

@@m3Tesla keep someone from slipping the latch (especially considering they are using residential locks)

[@m3Tesla]

@selock hmm... if the latch is properly installed you can not slip it!

[@koryjensen8610]

Any reason for residential Schlage and not commercial grade?

[@selock]

@@koryjensen8610 customer supplied 🤷‍♂️

[@philliphart2703]

Didn’t know that jig existed

[@KableGuyCGY]

ERMAHGUURRDD you didnt pre drill

[@selock]

@@KableGuyCGY 😂

[@ZAPATTUBE]

Should have been a double key deadbolt. Window easily broken, thumb-latch easily thrown.

[@selock]

@@ZAPATTUBE broken window easily climbed through. It’s a business and a fire exit door. Cannot use a double cylinder here
