Thank you for posting this. My husband is a carpenter and after watching your video it all made sense to him. Really appreciate you putting this video up.
Great tip. I usually tell the customers to measure the gap with 2 dimes to determine if it’s a candidate for a basic install or if it’s gonna need to be mortised. Imo the full length plates are overkill as the 12” length plates usually offer equal strength when it’s the latch bolts that are the weak part. I also won’t recommend them for doors that have glass because it’s an “illusion of security” and I feel like it’s taking advantage of a customer to tell them it will keep someone out when they can easily break through the glass and unlock the door. But some customers want that illusion so I’ll oblige but make sure they acknowledge what I told them😁. Thanks for the wonderful vids.
I couldn't agree more. In the door business we say, "locks only keep out honest people." MOST of security is an illusion, and that's what people pay for. Even though I think it's a decent product, I always remind customers that if someone wants to get into your house, they're going to get in. I appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching.
Great tips as usual, thanks a lot.
My pleasure! and thanks for watching.
Excellent tips, thanks.
though I did get a bit of a chuckle from the idea of installing door armor on doors that are 75% glass
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
