They are to be placed in the hexagonal hole in the thru-bolt where the allen key fits in (4:30 to 4:50) for a permanent installation. Apparently, once you jam the ball bearings in there, it's almost impossible to get them out (imagine drilling out a ball bearing).
Hello, This is the technical support division for Medeco Assa Abloy. The ball bearings are used for protection against drilling attacks and unauthorized removal of the deadbolt from the door. The black ball bearings are designed to be inserted in the outside cylinder assembly. You will drop one ball bearing in each hole that accepts the thru-bolt screws. The stainless ball bearings are designed to be inserted in the interior hex head thru-bolt screws. If you choose this option the deadbolt will be difficult to remove from the door. This option would apply if you have an installation where you are concerned about tampering from the interior or unauthorized removal of the lock from the door.

I installed my old Medeco M3 (doesnt say not assa abloy on it) My tailpiece doesnt engage the bolt unless I turn the bolt upside down. (I’m looking at your 4:23 instructions) It works this way, but I am worried that the tailpiece will slip out of the bolt, as it seems it is not close enough to full y insert.
is it me, or is the screws peeking out the back like that not looking good? (yes, i know that it's supposed to go to studs in the structure, but even for a demo it looks a bit yeeks)
Two questions. Is there any downside to getting a non removable thumb knob for residential as in this video? Secondly from a security stand point would there be any need for locking lower lock? Would there be any benefit?

That Allen wrench does not fit in the thick black bolts so how do you screw them in. Certainly those skinny silver colored screws that Allen wrench fits is not the only thing holding lock together. Does anyone have video of how to connect the two sides together, because I need help!!!!

Hi. Unfortunately, you used waaay toooo long screws, for the inside of the strike cup. Now you have to but the client a new door. The screws should not have gone through the side of the door. Could have used half or 1 inch screws. I'm sure it wasn't a client's door. I'm just saying, if it was. I'm in New York City. I'm a licensed Locksmith, and want to take a course in Medeco Locks. Can someone out there please inform me? Thank you.
You're a licensed locksmith and you install strike cups in the door? Where did you get your license? The strike plate and/or cup go into the door jamb. The longer the screws the better the protection against kicking in the door.
I already called the number on the instructions that were included in the box. Of course you guys are closed. I'll call again in the morning. I suspect that I won't be given any answers here. First - I had to cannibalise the old deadbolt for short screws. My box didn't come with any. I looked thru everything supplied and not one. I noted that you said short screws supplied. Maybe it was just my box. BUT!!!!!!!!!!
Finally have gotten to the bolts for the back plate. WTF????? Not the guy in the videos fault - but WHY??? was a given this teeny allen wrench for good size bolts???? This may be a great video, but now that I now that I was screwed over, I'm not happy.
I also noted - as someone else also noted that your long screws in the cup go thru to the exterior of the wall. WHAT? Why would I want that done to my house?

that's a huge upgrade from a Kwikset to a Medeco Maxum great video
you installed the two stainless balls what about the two black ones ?
I was about to ask the exact same question.

How do you remove the spring clip?
what are the black balls for???
is it me, or is the screws peeking out the back like that not looking good? (yes, i know that it's supposed to go to studs in the structure, but even for a demo it looks a bit yeeks)
Yeah it was a lazy demonstration, those cups are a pain to install and get centered with bolt and when wood flex’s with weather bolt always binds.
It looked like he put the dustbox in the door rather than the frame where the bolt goes into...that does not go into the door itself????

I need to remove a single cylinder deadbolt but I can not find the screws!!
Do I use the 2.5" or 3" through-bolts in my screwpack?
Where do the long black bolts go and what do you screw them in with ?

Also - you don't explain the significance of the back set. You measure it then move on. WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

How you gonna show us how to install this, when you can't even do it without ruining the door?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He stripped some of the screws during install. 😅
Phooey! One good kick and you're in! The door frame is paper! Drilling attack? Why bother!!
Super super
