is there no end to what you cant do? great teacher, you really dont waste time, high quality footage and audio, you tell us what we need to do and look for. cant wait to own my own house one day so i can talk to myself while doing this stuff pretending im you.
Isn't that the truth. Always something new to learn out there. I love seeing different approaches to things. increases my toolbox for problem solving. Cheers!
It makes me chuckle every time Jeff. I do the same thing. Although, I haven't tried using the tape measure as a hammer yet I don't think. Used to drive my father nuts. He'd say "right tool for the job damnit son". Because those first years I was using his tools mostly, lol. Just reminded me of some good times of DIY with the "Old man", I sure miss him. I'm sure you have these good times with your boys as well. Thanks Jeff!
I learned the word 'mortise'. This gives me a lot of confidence for replacing a door - thanks, Jeff. One recommendation I learned from a police department is to replace the screws that go in the strike plate (the plates that go into the mortise) is to use 3- or 4-inch screws (not the 1-inch screws they give in the lock kit) so that it goes to the studs. The longer screws make it harder to kick the door in if the strike plates bite into some more wood (or, as you've said in other videos, just in case you have a family of door slammers that also like to push up hard against the doors when they're carrying a load of groceries)... hee hee.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Yes, it is -- I think it's a reference to a basement video where you show three different methods to put in a pre-framed door ("Good, Best, and super-fast"). As you went through the pros/cons, for one of the methods, you said, "This will work great, unless you live in a family of door slammers." Your list of quotables ("Jeffisms") is increasing, though I don't think I'll wear a t-shirt with 6:30 on it quite yet!
Hi, I bought the ridgid drills to give them a test run. I was hoping the new brushless tech was going to have the power that i like at a reasonable price. Jury is still out!
Ya know Jeff; your words "I shoulda pulled out sooner" when the plug got stuck in the bit, resonated with me from the distant past of my youthful days. Such is life.
Good tip about putting in reverse first. I was always taught to drill the pilot hole first so it does not pop through and grab and bust the pilot bit an scratch the product.
We absolutely LOVE those keyless locks!!!! And yes the multiple codes work out great. We give one out to friends that come and let out dog out when we're away, and we use a number sequence that's difficult to remember. Hope all is well, and anxiously awaiting for when you start the Greek Revival trim in da house😁😁😂😂😁😁!!! So sorry Jeff, I couldn't help myself!!! Dirty Jersey out!!!
Very good, the way you show it give the impression it's quite easy, thank you ! As Jason as said 4'' screw will be much better because the strenght of the lock now is only the little 3/4 inch of the frame so, almost nothing. I am not sure about buying the cheapest lock, it's still the entry door of your home.
Why not use longer screws for the strike plates? Some 3"-4" screws should hit the jack stud and give a much better chance of a standing up against a kick attack on the door. As always, great content. Keep it coming!
I'm not doing a lockset anytime soon, but had to watch the entire vid to see how many mistakes I've made doing them all these years! Another info packed vid Jeff! Thanks
Great teaching video as always. Have you ever considered doing home improvement work shops for different projects around the house. Keep the great videos coming. CHEERS!!
Always wear safety glasses even if you can't see what your doing " ROFL !!! Great vid again Jeff ,love the tips. Nice work Max , I feel like i'm right in there .
Hi Jeff. Can you speak to how well these hold up in the cold weather? I have 4 of the Schlage Camelot. The one in the garage broke outright and the one against a non heated 3 season room stops rotating around December-March in Chicago winters.
What about putting longer screws in the deadbolt plate to engage the stud? (I do agree with you that if they WANT to get in, they will, but I still like to make the deadbolt as secure as possible.)
Longer screws are optional. I live in Canada so B and E is not a real concern where I live. I can appreciate the need for safety in some communities however!
After my 2 sons lost about 10 keys, I seriously thought about installing one of these. But they grew up and I sold the house after they moved away. Such a nice option. Thanks for showing us.
It is suggested also to get some screws through the door frame into the wall where the deadbolt is to strenghten the hold. Of course you need to ad wood between frame and wall.
regardless, the sheer strength of those screws will not keep someone form kicking in a door. A properly trained guard dog or a 12 gauge shotgun is more effective.
Hi Jeff! Love your videos so far. Hoping you can provide some advice...I have close to zero experience drilling nails into walls but I decided to give it a go in order to hang a few things up on the wall. And now the dilemma-- I drilled the wrong nail straight into the drywall and upon trying to reverse the drill, I just pushed it in further. Any tips/ tricks for this getting the nail out??
Jeff, do you ever run any longer screws into the studs on the latch plate of the deadbolt on the door frame? I'm under the impression that there'd be a little bit better security with those longer screws going through more wood. Also, your tip about removing one of the handles is going to save me some grief when I'm installing 12 lever hardware sets in my current renovation this week; that was worth the price of admission alone! BTW, hope you guys take care of that joker who was using your lovely mug while trying to peddle some painting tools on Facebook; I sent y'all an email and Michelle Martin sent me a reply.
Different way of doing it. Center hole the screw holes for the plate. screw in screws. Now run razor knife around. It makes it a little cleaner then following a pencil line.
Top notch video as always, Jefe. Question: Have you ever installed the Defiant motion detector light system? I did my absolute best caulking that thing, and water still somehow got inside and ruined it :(twice): Customer service was not too nice about it, and blamed my poor caulk job. A pro-installation might make for an excellent video - does the farmhouse need motion detection?
That's the million dollar question. I would hope it didn't get into the box, and I can't imagine a reasonable scenario where that could have happened (except a bad caulk job). The Defiant guy said the water had to come from behind my caulk line because it's literally impossible to come through the fixture side even when submerged in water. I haven't actually opened it up yet to diagnose though. If you're dying to know, maybe I can prioritize this ;)
Great video, Jeff! How has this lock held up in cold weather? I have a similar lock and the deadbolt struggles to engage (if at all) when temps are 40F or below
Where one may be concerned about break-ins, and want to use long screws through the strike plates that thread deep into the framing, besides shimming behind the door frame to keep it plumb, what type/brand of fasteners would you recommend?
advice yes, good drainage, great landscape cloth underneath and use a blower to keep organics from building up so you don't get plants growing in your rocks. Cheers!
Jeff, dude. I f**kin' love your channel but, I'm having to watch this in secret, the Mrs. says you're costing a fortune! But she does say the house looks sh1t-hot!
this is not really about the content of this video but you may have an answer. my house has sheet siding with just felt paper between the siding and the studs. I want to put real siding and a real house wrap (i want to use a peal and stick product) and want to know the best way of going about this. I live in Oregon.
Dangit Jeff! You know typically when you have project vids, it's always a day or two before I start mine as is you are in my CRM yourself(wouldn't mind) I sold my ridgid X5 hydro drill because you use the Dewalt, how you have a fresh pair of orange and greys... Come on man stick to a brand, I can't keep switching back... Back to Home Depot again :-/ LOL good video man
OK my OCD was triggered! The outside of the Deadbolt looked great, but the inside of the deadbolt is off by 1/16" - 1/8". It seems I have been watching your videos too long!!! hahaha As for all the Prego parts of the comments, I won't comment, but they were funny!!! Does that mean I commented on them??
Hello everybody, question - I bought s bank owned property it is winterized. Its a condo, water and sewer controller by the association. Question is, how do I dewinterize it? Tips would help!!!!
Not sure if reliability is the biggest concern. Like with all things mechanical it is always best to have a key on you. For me I like the option to give out a code for other folks to have access without having keys floating around the city. The codes can be changed at any time.
I would highly suggest using lithium or rechargeable batteries in something like this. The last thing you want is to have your expensive lock stop working because one of the alkaline batteries decided to leak out.
Hi Travis, nope we are just trying out the new ridgid brushless for a few weeks to see if they would be a good option for homeowners. Cheers! Jury is still out.

So are Milwaukee hole saws your favorite? Or do you switch it up based on the job?
Is it right that 1 of my balls is bigger than the other 2? Is that the kind of question you mean, Jeff?

Another great video. May I suggest using longer screws on the strike plate it helps to slow down or prevent a B&E.
Slowing it down makes no difference. Cocking the shotgun should give you the desired effect however.Cheers!
Every video i learn something new..thanks man.
Glad to be of some help!
Awesome! I like that lock with the keypad! You make things look so simple Haha! Cheers!
All things are simple with the right tools. Cheers!
Why not use longer screws for the strike plates? Some 3"-4" screws should hit the jack stud and give a much better chance of a standing up against a kick attack on the door. As always, great content. Keep it coming!
The best defense against someone kicking in your door is the sound of the shotgun cocking. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY ... agreed... if you are home.

What is the brand of this lock? I want to buy the same one and install it with your direction!
I have the same one been 6 months been working really good. Brands called defiant

I believe the screws for the deadbolt plate would have increased your security by a bit. More surface are and retention versus that sleeve insert.
Hard wire the ceiling or wall light fixture can be DIY? or need get professional with permit?

Different way of doing it. Center hole the screw holes for the plate. screw in screws. Now run razor knife around. It makes it a little cleaner then following a pencil line.

You should have mortised the deadbolt latch to so it matches.

What about the Wifi enables keyless lock that uses the smartphone to open. Are they reliable?
Not sure if reliability is the biggest concern. Like with all things mechanical it is always best to have a key on you. For me I like the option to give out a code for other folks to have access without having keys floating around the city. The codes can be changed at any time.
Makes sense to have more control with a key and numbers.
