I had installed one of these years ago when looking after a parent with Alzheimer's to prevent from leaving the house and wandering. It's also considered a childproof lock. It was super easy to install.
It’s good to prevent Young child to open, but as they grow up they will definitely figure it out. In some rare cases if the child attend to open the front door pretty often I recommend to add a double-sided deadbolt (key both sides). yet again it is not recommended for emergency’s and life protection and you may also ask your local building department office if it’s even legal by building code etc. another option is to put a door sensor that will alert you when someone open the door and there is many smart locks that will send you put notification to your smart phone when someone open the door, check out this video for more information: ruclips.net/video/RoM_I4DlYhk/видео.html
@@S.E.Locksmith You should have showed us how hard it is to break in with that on. That would be an awesome test to see if it would hold the door. Because others said it could bend because it's not made in steel. Something to think about.
I just installed this on my door. I picked it up at Home Depot. A drill and a 1/8” drill bit was all I need. These install instructions are great. I did not have to chisel. I installed this in less than 2min.
Great video! I'd like to add a few comments. I have one of these locks at home. It is very important to use 3 inch long screws as shown in the video. There are many different manufacturers of this exact same type of locking device which you can buy on-line or at your local hardware store. Unfortunately, some come with much shorter screws, like 1.5 or 2 inches long. Throw these screws away and buy some 3 inch long screws, because the 3 inch long screws are long enough to penetrate deep into your 2x4 door-frame, which will make the lock super strong. Also, many of these locking devices come in two-packs, so you can install two on the same door-frame, one at shoulder-height and one at knee-height. Then, absolutely no-one will be able to break or kick down your door, unless it's a SWAT team with a battering ram.
Older homes have thicker molding around doors and windows, this actually make things a bit stronger but you may find that thickness interferes with installing something like this. If your molding around the door is thick you may have to chisel or rout out the edge of that molding for the reinforcement lock to fit correctly.
Great Demonstration & installation Of this product I have several of this product brought of Amazon 15 dollar and investment, best product on the market
Thank-you for this great demonstration. I appreciate the thorough explanation of the chiseling method; exactly what I needed to understand, prior to my installation. Thanks again!
I live in a condo with a steel door frame and less than an 1/8" gap between the door and door frame. Any suggestions on what else might work to secure the front door?
The trim on my Door Jamb sticks out above the door panel level - about 0.4" Any thoughts about installing this product on my door? Basically, If I install this, it will sit about 0.4" above my door level to allow it to rotate freely.
maybe add something to the black pad on the lock to take up the space, then it would be thicker there and sit right against the door like it is designed to do. Maybe a piece of thick rubber tile, if you use contact cement I bet it would bond very well, might take two layers but you get the idea.
You could add a screw with eye and add a chain & little handle on it so it would be easier for you to open it. Someone made one. Now, I believe it's available on the marketplace.
Two questions #1 Appears it is for doors with no glass?..otherwise a burglar could reach in after breaking glass and undue?..#2..Does it matter if door swings open to the left or right?
If you have a wood door with glass in the middle so this lock would not do any good if he break the glass, honestly what does it matter anyway if a burglar break in the glass he gets into your property so you think that this Lock will do any good? For your second question: no it doesn’t matter if it’s a left or right handed door
Hi my wood door frame is 2.5 inch, so if i use the 3 inch screw, then I should use a wood drill bit to drill a 2.5 inch hole through the wood door frame first, then switch to a concrete drill bit to drill a further half inch hole through the concrete. Is it like that ? Thank you.
So if you have only 2.5 inch long frame you can use 2.5 inch screws instead, it would be good as well, but if you want to go deeper so yes you can do what you said but be careful and make sure you do it with all the right tools and safety measures.
You did a great job and I commend you. Only thing I would add is, I most home invaders will use their foot to kick up a door so a lower location under the handle would probably be a better spot.
Yes this is correct, It’s only for inswing doors. But if you want more reinforcement take a look at my video about the strike plate: ruclips.net/video/5h2xYwtnBXM/видео.html or: ruclips.net/video/SyYbZzuHn3Q/видео.html
Looks fantastic but I need one for an outward opening door it would be for the garage door so that I can secure the door from the inside when I am alone and my husband is out of town in case somebody gets into my garage they are unable to open my door to the house but it opens into the garage
If it’s an outward opening door so you don’t need it. If you want some extra security put an extra deadbolt lock on your doors and I recommend the MUL-T-LOCK MT5+ Hercular Deadbolt ruclips.net/video/u3ilURfCFzY/видео.html And also put security door strike plate for reinforcement etc.
I’m not really sure if it will work for you. Please send me a pictures of your door to the email in our about page of the channel and we’ll to help you out.
If I have a wood door but metal frame with concrete behind the frame instead of wood studs, could I screw it into the metal frame? If my gap is smaller than 1/8 ", could i chisel a mortise on the edge of the door?
Just put a Metal wrap around the door locks and this will reinforce the wood door. Check out this video for more information: Door Reinforcement 101 - Silver Eagle Locksmith ruclips.net/video/lnZPm6UOhRE/видео.html
That’s a great question... because you have a double door I will go with the Nightlock Door Barricade - Double Door Reinforcement Tip ruclips.net/video/1Ox85x5UXZA/видео.html I don’t recommend you to go with the high security door reinforcement lock for a double doors that’s my professional opinion.
@@danew637 I understand you can lower the volume on your cellphone or computer, but I meant the real levels of volume, are overdriven/distorted, you can clearly notice even with a lower volume level. My comment is not meant to be mean but constructive. It is a very good video, but maybe my recomendation could be useful for future vids.
Gobi (or is it Coby?), I have a question. The door you are fastening the lock to, and another video I watched as well, show the lock being attached to a flat surface. My door has the older moulding, in two levels. Is it necessary to mortice out the moulding as well, or will the lock be able to accommodate the existing moulding? Thanks.
Hi Dexter, sorry to get back to you only now... got a lot of people asking me questions here. by the way my name is Koby..for your question now I'm pretty sure the best way for you to install it will be to mortice out the moulding and than install the lock.
Use a hammer and tap on the part that slide the lock and after that try to lubricant the lock and try again when the door is unlocked and if it’s still not working, then replace it with a new one
This tutorial was very clear and easy to understand. The problem I am having is that the lock does NOT open and my handyman can't open it either. Is there a trick to opening this up ? Please explain, thank you.
Deadbolt always come first because of building standards and you’ll need a key to get in to the house anyway so for my opinion get both of them installed
In rather for this lock to keep people from breaking into your house you will have to lock it first and exit a different door of course because you can lock it only from the inside. This lock is made of light duty metal but the screws that connect to it are 3 inch long and that way it’s reinforced the door from burglary
You should have made more relief cuts before chiseling running horizontal, looks like you took a huge piece out. Making the cuts helps to keep it more even when cutting a mortise. Also using the side of the hammer is easier than the face of the hammer for small chiseling.
Can you please have a new video showing someone trying to break the door down using your barricade device I would like to see how effective it is but I already did buy one and installed it thank you
Brother in law is a narco cop...he has crashed through everything! He likes these..he says "Sometimes they may have to hit it twice..but not often." Laugh!! They can bust down anything with those heavy bitches!!
There is no requirement on where to place it, everyone can chose where the like it to be. Some people put it to prevent their own children’s to open the door and they like it high as possible, but again you can locate the lock anywhere you like
I bought this lock and it came with 4 small screws as well as 3 long ones. I see that you used one small screw. And the instructions only mention using one small screw. Why did this lock come with 4 small screws?
Good lord. Why would you be SO concerned about 4 short screws, enough to write multiple comments about them? LOL. Did you ever think that there may be other people with different situations that might require short screws? Use the long screws if you can. If you can't, for some reason, like a window is right next to your door, or whatever, use the damn short screws. LMAO. Turns out, common sense is not that common. If I were you, I'd call a professional in for the install.
Mike Weston do u know the guy? I have no way of knowing if it was a joke, but MANY men r chauvinists so hard to say, btw i aint no feminist, never have been, its just i can do more things mechanically then my brother.
Thanks. Iv seen those flimsy flip action locks they make that look like I'll just flip on its own. Good thing I'm stuck home and don't feel like I need to run a get one right away.
Great concept but these things are made of aluminum. I was planning on buying it, but I just got done watching several videos showing doors being easily kicked open because the cheap aluminum BENDS! If they made these with good quality steel, I'd be a customer!!!!
Too bad you cant use this if you have glass windows on either side of the door... then again what would it matter. Just break the glass and open it your self. Lol

In that case you buy a steel door and a kick plate.
Yes definitely steel screws and 3 inch long
Learning so much from you! I appreciate it. Thanks!

Yes I agree, with older homes and door there is little bit more work around the installation of this lock
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative.
I installed this on my door and it perfect! I also installed secure strike plate which made the door even stronger
It’s a great lock that add more security in general
Crazy, I just lived back to LA from Vegas but I think I used you guys one time I got locked out of my house 😅
No way!
Great Demonstration & installation Of this product I have several of this product brought of Amazon 15 dollar and investment, best product on the market
It is a very good product
Very helpful ! Thank you
Good video bro - You made that chiseling look easy. I’m not sure I could do that.
Take your time with the chisel… you’ll see it’s not as difficult
To be honest, it wasn't perfect. He failed to cut the lines deeper which helps.
Thank-you for this great demonstration. I appreciate the thorough explanation of the chiseling method; exactly what I needed to understand, prior to my installation. Thanks again!
I’m happy to hear that
I live in a condo with a steel door frame and less than an 1/8" gap between the door and door frame. Any suggestions on what else might work to secure the front door?
Thanks, can it be used on hinge side to reinforce that side too?
NOPE!!!
The trim on my Door Jamb sticks out above the door panel level - about 0.4"
Any thoughts about installing this product on my door? Basically, If I install this, it will sit about 0.4" above my door level to allow it to rotate freely.

Thank you very usefull
looks like you had a hard time closing it. It must have a very strong spring in it - hard for an old lady to open and close it.
It shouldn’t be that hard but if you have not so strong grip in your hands so maybe you’re right it will be little bit hard
You could add a screw with eye and add a chain & little handle on it so it would be easier for you to open it. Someone made one. Now, I believe it's available on the marketplace.
This is a great product. During your installation, why you spit on holes after drilling ?
Two questions #1 Appears it is for doors with no glass?..otherwise a burglar could reach in after breaking glass and undue?..#2..Does it matter if door swings open to the left or right?

You did a great job and I commend you. Only thing I would add is, I most home invaders will use their foot to kick up a door so a lower location under the handle would probably be a better spot.
So just put one on the top and another one on the bottom of the door
So this is only for inswing doors correct? it can not be used for outswing doors? in Florida most doors are outswing for hurricane protection.
Yes this is correct, It’s only for inswing doors. But if you want more reinforcement take a look at my video about the strike plate: ruclips.net/video/5h2xYwtnBXM/видео.html or: ruclips.net/video/SyYbZzuHn3Q/видео.html

is this better than a deadbolt? debating which one to install
Deadbolt always come first because of building standards and you’ll need a key to get in to the house anyway so for my opinion get both of them installed
Bo Sun deadbolt is a must because this only works if someone is at home, I would put this on door for extra protection while in bed

Brother in law is a narco cop...he has crashed through everything! He likes these..he says "Sometimes they may have to hit it twice..but not often." Laugh!!
They can bust down anything with those heavy bitches!!
Why would you not use 3" screws? Every other video says longer screws enforce door strength!
You didn’t see that I use 3 inch screws?!
I would recommend placing this lower
There is no requirement on where to place it, everyone can chose where the like it to be.
Some people put it to prevent their own children’s to open the door and they like it high as possible, but again you can locate the lock anywhere you like
I want it to be where it will prevent someone from kicking my door in, so about mid way is suffice
If you want to prevent someone to kick the door I would say put it about 2 feet above the deadbolt lock
I bought this lock and it came with 4 small screws as well as 3 long ones. I see that you used one small screw. And the instructions only mention using one small screw. Why did this lock come with 4 small screws?
Hi Jack
Ok so probably they made a mistake. you only need one small screw and 3 x 3 inch screws
My door has a tall window next to the door on the handle side with only about 1½" of wood between them - probably a 2x4. I would welcome short screws.
Good lord. Why would you be SO concerned about 4 short screws, enough to write multiple comments about them? LOL. Did you ever think that there may be other people with different situations that might require short screws? Use the long screws if you can. If you can't, for some reason, like a window is right next to your door, or whatever, use the damn short screws. LMAO. Turns out, common sense is not that common. If I were you, I'd call a professional in for the install.
I bought these however they’re no good for UPVC Doors unless there is another way of installing them
It’s only good for wooden doors
GETTING AN EVEN CHISELED SURFACE AT 1/8" DEPTH SO THAT YOUR LOCK PLATE IS STRAIGHT IS NOT EASY. IT CAN BE QUITE A HIT OR MISS DEAL.
It’s May take a little while to install if you don’t have enough gap between the door and the door frame.
Just follow my steps and you should be OK
Wow even women can install it
Definitely
wicious r u sure our feeble minds would comprehend this or our weak hands could hold the drill? What a ridiculous comment!!,

could this accidentally close on its own when you shut the door on your way out? then your locked out.

how to lock, this lock when we go to outside ????
its working or useful for internal use..
else is useless.......

does the drill bit have to be as long as the 3 in screws?
Yes, if you want to do it the right way
Or you can use self drilling screws instead
