Great vid. When I take strike plates off, I caulk and paint the rough wood in the jam recess. A little fix on a detail that's often left shabby: my clients dig the attention to detail.
Clear and understanding instruments. Having said that nowing my luck it would take me half a day to remove the old deadlock and install a new one😂 Thanks for the video.
Thank you for making this video! It made this task much easier than I expected. I did it myself using your video and part of the printed instructions (different lock) and it worked out perfectly! ❤
Step0: Start by checking that LockpickingLawyer have not done a video on how terribly insecure the electronic deadbolt you are considering installing is.
I have the kwikset keyless DB on all my doors (Honestly it was the best thing I ever did) But I also have giant black Russ¡an terriers, nobody wants to come in here! Lol
I had a house fire and I'm just about ready to move into the new house :) I'm also several months out of a decade long relationship( I'm single enough that my weeds have grown taller than me, But I'm short if that's any constellation LOL) My goal is to learn how to use basic power tools as I have so many projects that NEED doing...(I own a sizable flock of chickens) And honestly I'm finding only time heals wounds, so I might as well be productive AND proud of myself 😅 Thank you for all the great tips so far!
For those screws that hold both halves of the lock together, I like to use the Klein offset screwdriver from my electrical tool bag. It is so quick and saves my wrist.
QUESTION: I have a couple of crazy good quality Dewalt drills, a saw with a straight blade I haven't even looked at yet, and other random tools... If you were to choose a multi-purpose tool, For small projects, i.e. Cutting wood and pvc, furniture refinishing, An exhaust fan in my chicken coop, etc. Which one might you choose? I'm dealing with some autoimmune stuff right now so I'm not the strongest girl, When holding a power tool for a long time... But you should see me pick up 50 pound bags of anything like a boss!😂
I used the Level Bolt deadbolt, I didn't want a big, ugly keypad on the door . it just replaces the inside bits of the door. lock I m very happy with it
Another problem can be the hole in door isn't the right diameter. My metal door is 25 years old and has a 2 or 2 1/16 hole, newer ones use a larger hole, so some electronic door locks don't fit. Yes i could make it larger, but that is a pain too. And remember to keep a key somewhere, in case it loses power for various unforeseen reasons.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Nope we are not allowed to protect our selves in any way at all. Its illegal to hunt with a bow under any circumstance. Shot guns are ok for the rich and famouse. But strangly the system works.
Another good video. But expensive locks are pretty much a waste of money. Burglars just walk up to a house, kick a door in, run in, go to bedrooms, take anything that looks expensive and easy to carry, then walk out. Usually before the alarm company has even gotten around to calling the police. Locks are irrelevant to them. A door is only as secure as the wood around a lock. They do it in the middle of the day and it's amazing how few are ever seen by neighbors or passerbys. And 95% of home owners enter and leave their homes through their garages. Front doors are rarely used these days except by guests.
Yeah.... But I did all that and it is IMPOSSIBLE to program.. There are no colored lights that happen... No sounds.... Nothing... Nada.... Took it brand new out of the box.... Batteries r new... Followed the directions.... But not accepting any codes.... Opened another box of new lock.... Connected it all with proper diligence... Did programming or lights work on second brand new lock from Amazon??? Nope. Nada
