- Installing a deadbolt lock is easier than you may think. Leah from See Jane Drill shows you how you can DIY with a deadbolt installation kit.
1) Locate your deadbolt 6-12 inches above the doorknob, and attach the jig. Secure the jig in place by drilling pilot holes, then drilling in screws.
2) Insert a 1 inch hole drilling bit into the jig to cut the latch
3) Bore a hole in the jam ensuring that the hole lines up exactly with the latch.
4) Place a jig into the latch slot to help determine where to drill on the jam.
5) Slide the latch into the hole you drilled on the door
6) Gently snap on the inside and the outside plate, making sure they line up correctly with the latch.
7) Install the latch plate

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
How do we get hold of the Author / Handywoman to thank her? This video is much more thorough than big name brands - all the way to chiselling for the strike plate.
This video has literally helped me as a reference time & again for YEARS!! :) THANKS!!
You are you good at teaching…. You didn’t skip any details and you named every step you did. This gave me a lot of confidence so when I go to Homedepot I know the name of the items I need to buy!❤
It's a real pleasure to see a skilled person who is also a clear communicator. Thank you so much.
great video!! the only thing wrong here is using a drill to tighten the deadbolt screws. Always use a screw driver and only tighten till snug, never over tighten them! If the screws are too tight, your thumb turn will be tight and will be stiff when trying to lock or unlock the deadbolt. This is because if the screws are too tight, it binds the lock causing it to seize up- I am a locksmith
Leah, you are a natural Teacher. This video is excellent.
Thanks, Leah! As always, you offered a trick that few mention - install the strike plate and score the perimeter with a blade, rather than just mark with a pencil. Newbies with a chisel thank you!
good to see that Zillow recognizes your talent and got you in their channel!
all DIYers should follow her on her channel.
I absolutely love you! With your guidance, I can do ANYTHING! I humbly appreciate you sharing your knowledge! So precise and easy to follow! Now I need to know to to replace my bathroom sink and that level thing for my shower!
Ms. Leah, you are wonderful!! My wife and I are newlyweds and we want to secure our home better. I have bought new deadbolt locks for all of our doors. I am, pretty much, a do-it-yourself kind of a guy and your videos help me tremendously to do that!! 😊. Thank you for your guidance and informational videos!! God bless you!!! 😁
This was a very informative and uncomplicated tutorial. Leah is quite the instructor. Keep her on the case, i like her style !!
Leah, as always, you explained it perfectly. I had no idea about how to do this before today. Now, I am reasonably certain I will be able to do it. Thank you!
Your video gives me the confidence to do it on my own. Thank
welc
Well done, Leah. You make everything look easy.
Thank you Leah. You Rock! You explained it so simply and easily, I'm actually looking forward to doing it for myself. I'll be looking for your other videos for my other DIY projects.
Great video! I will add, that it is a good idea to use longer screws for the jamb plate. Makes it much harder to kick the door in.
Another excellent video. I'm going to do two that are "keyed" on both sides of the cylinder because there is glass in the door that a thief could break, turn the thumb knob to gain easy entry. As for the striker plate cover I always use the longest screws I have to anchor it several inches into and past the trim for more security. Just watch pout for any electrical that might be in that area. Thanks!!!!!!!
Thank You you made it short and simple and very easily understood
Always enjoy watching your videos! You make it look so easy. Thank you so much!
Thank you Leah! I installed 2 deadbolts today and had a heck of a time getting the hole for the latch to line up. I made quite a mess out of one of the door jams. I wish I had watched your video first. Next time I will follow your trick for marking the spot.
Very well described, and very easy to follow! One thing I would have added, however, is that there are 2 types of deadbolt, and this one was a single cylinder. Of course, one that can be locked from either side of the door with a key would be a 2 cylinder or double cylinder deadbolt.
I would use the double cylinder simply because the glass in the door can be easily broken out
Very helpful! Thanks! And THANK you for saying "lies flush" instead of the incorrect "lays." That matters to a few of us still.
Leah you are wonderful, you always make easy that "difficult job"..thank you so much
You rock! It's been decades since I've done this . Your instructions are easily followed.
That was so great to watch! You have a great teaching style, makes watching you fun and not intimidating. You’re awesome! I have never been a handy person but after watching your video I feel much more confident! Keep up the great work :)
Thank you. Great help once again.
UPDATE: thanks to your great instructions i was able to replace my failed deadbolt. There was a bit of a problem though. The set back was 5 whole inches instead of the standard 2 3/8 or 2 3/4 and the new deadbolt component was too short. Fortunately, it wasn't the old deadbolt component that had failed (and by failed i mean that the key would just turn and turn in circles without stopping) and i was able to reuse it with the new outer and inner components. You gave me the confidence to make the attempt, and to punt when it wasn't going to plan, so thank you.
You did an amazing job explaining that installation. Thank you again!!!
I had a hard time aligning the long screws to put the back part of the deadbolt on. I decided to tape the front part (where the key goes) to keep it from moving and it helped A LOT. Initially I was having a hard time but then when I did that it took only a minute to tighten the long screws in place.
Thank you for posting that. I thought I was the only one. Could not get screws aligned.
Love Leah. I forward her videos to my husband all of the time. And, he always thanks me.
Thank you very much for the great video. I plan to install one this weekend.
Thanks again Leah can always depend on you for the perfect way of doing a job❤❤❤
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Learned a bunch and feel better about this DIY. I am going to wait till I have a"jig", which I'm betting is well worth paying for! Otherwise making everything line up just perfectly would be a real challenge for me, I know,
This is awesome, I got the same door jig. Going to try tomorrow.
I adore you the way you do thing and show your work and videos very useful a massive hug from Toronto Canada
Thank you for the video. You're done a great job.
That's really helpful--thank you!
Leah is the best teacher!!
You are a blessing! Thank you.
Very helpful - thanks!
THANK YOU. and I like the hole box kit I gotta get one of those No MORE GUESSING GAMES ABOUT LINING UP the cuts Thank you again ❤
Totally awesome video. Thanks!
Great tutorial - only thing missing is at 4:12 there’s no mention as to what bit is used. It appears as if you go in an inch. But how wide of a bit makes the hole?
Leah, you are my go-to Guru for all things 'fix it'.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST INSTRUCTOR ,,,SHE IS "THE" BEST
"You can use a lipstick". Genius!!! Leah always has the best tips and tricks for making DIY easy.
Fantastic guide! Thank you.
You made it look so easy!! Hope I can do it!
very detail oriented video and helpful for diy'ers and beginners. Thank you!
What a great video! Thank you!
Awesome video! Thanks Leah!
Thank you Ms. Leah!!!
Striker plate- good to know the name ! Thanks ❤
Fantastic Instruction!!
Great instructional content here! Thank you very much.
excellent job! thanks
Impressive and a good reference 😊
GREAT VIDEO. VERY COOL. THANK YOU!
Thanks Leah!
Thanks a lot mam, jane.. I try it to may house from 🇵🇭.. GOD bless..
Love your demo's😄😄
Yes we can! Thanks, fellow handywoman. Now I need to go get one of those kits -- I never knew that existed! Oh darn, I have to go to the hardware store... :-)
Thank you, Leah. ✌🏼💜
Great explanation! I'm not the one doing it but it gives me a better idea when coordinating with the guy doing it. Thanks!
Thanks again Jane
Great video and explanation!
You rock, Leah.
Excellent job! I learned a few new things. One suggestion I would make is to use long screws for better security.
I agree
Yes the best screws that you could use are deck screws that are 3" - 4" in length.
@@cloudstrifeification
Stainless steel would be a much better choice
Great job!
Great value!
Nice! Thank you.
This is a fanstastic video, thank you so much. I'd just like to add, and this is in no way a criticism, that it's a good idea to wear some eye protection when doing stuff like this.
Great tutorial, super clear instructions, no nonsense. Thanks Leah!!
You are great !! Thanks
easier said than done. When I went to put my deadbolt back on after painting it was not lined up right and would not work. I finally figured it out. Also the knob had to be in the lock position in order to get to the screws.
OMG!! I did this today...thank you!!
Thankyou Leah
Leah is awesome!
Thanks. Your video saved me $$ and frustration.
Thank you!
Thanks so much!!!!
I LOVE your videos, Leah! You are such an EXPERT at everything, and you explain steps, instructions and purpose so well with every project. Thank you so much. Julia
good job Leah
As always, thanks Lea. I always suggest using an auxially tool template like the one you used (Milwaukee makes one too which I like) to make precise holes in the door prior to installation.
THANK you...thank you....
Nice work!
nice video. very well done.
Cool thanks. Hv a nice day.
I just saved 💯 'S of dollars... THANK YOU SO MUCH
I need a smart all-around talented friend like you in my life. You are very talented and a great teacher. Could I adopt you for my big sister? :-)
Thank u sooooo much
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Leah. Your videos are amazing and easy for the common weekend warrior to understand.
great job Leah!
great video! Very clearly explained and thorough, Leah. It's probably important to point out, though, that putting a deadbolt next to a window isn't that secure, since an intruder can smash the glass and open the lock. I guess any door with a window like that is not secure.
You Rock!
Love her content!
I can do this!
wow thank u
Leah: You are the bomb!!! You made this project simple and understandable. Thanks.
