Kwikset Door latch How to Replace stuck Exterior door Deadlatch 

Thank you. This video is WAY BETTER than the instructions on the package.

Thank you so much for posting this video. Your instructions were so easy to follow!!

Door jammed at 8am, got the latch delivered and set it up for my first time through this solid and Simple video, Thank you very much.

You're more knowledgeable than the associate at the big Home Improvement store where I live! I knew nothing about the door latch so I took my old one to the store to look for a similar item. I grabbed one package from the shelf. Everything was the same except mine had that retractable "little piece". I asked the store associate about that "missing piece" and also showed him my old one. He assured me that I got the right one and that the "missing piece" was locked inside the unit! I believed him so I purchased one. After I got home, opened the package, no matter what I did the missing piece that he said "was locked inside" never came out! Thank God I found your RU-vid instruction video! Now I understand why they looked a little bit different.... I was looking for a latch for the "exterior door" but the store associate gave me the one for "interior door" while assuring me I picked the right one! I droved back to the store that same day and the item was returned! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!

Perfectly paced and exactly what I needed my friend. Thank you.

Thank you for this video, it saved me a lot of time and fumbling and likely the purchase of a new deadlatch and/or doorknob. I would've succeeded on the first try, too, if I'd followed your instructions carefully.

Thank you. Easier than I expected to replace

Thank you for this! Fixed our door easily with your help.

Great video! Thanks to you, we can now safely close and lock the door!

Thank you!

Great video. Thanks

I have the same problem, but I can't get the door open to replace the deadlatch. The deadlatch is frozen in the door with the door closed. How did you get yours open?

I just replaced the same Kwikset latch on my garage entry door. It works great, locks/unlocks perfectly with door ajar, but when I close the door and lock it from inside, I have difficulty unlocking it (again from inside). Yet, it unlocks perfectly from outside (with key). Any ideas what I did wrong?

My latch stuck with the assembly stuck on and will not come apart.

L the go

Thanks! Came here to figure out how to adjust the latch. 🫠
