EXCELLENT CONTENT MY FRIEND! EXCELLENT!!! This is a perfect explanation of what I did not understand and should be doing! Changing out my strike for one of these in the morning!!! My Management co. is filled with idiots and don't care enough about us! My strike does not have this feature to retract the independent plunger.
Hi, I have the second type of latch you describe on a door with a keypad lock going from my garage to the laundry room. i used to be able to just push the door closed once entering the laundry room. but now the plunger stays rigid and won't depress at all until you turn the handle or reenter the code from the garage side. what happened?
Very useful explanation. My door has a same latch with lock on handle. The problem I have is, when I lock the door from outside, the latch does not stay solid lock and with a slight push from outside, the door opens even though it is locked.. Any Video are reply appreciated
Your latch mechanism is toasted, there is a camset in the latch assembly that allows the locking feature - latch assemblies can’t really be disassembled (not worth it) so just replace.
My mom has the dead Lock feature but somehow my granddaughter uses a credit card and gets in any way how can I fix this. And yes I make sure the door is locked every time I leave.
If the hole in the strike plate is too large, the dead latch will fall into it along with the plunger, and it will deactivate the security feature allowing you to use a credit card as if it were a normal plunger.
Awesome video. Finally! 2 hours and like 20 videos later, I find this video which explains that little pin thing and how it works. Nice.
Do you realize how hard it is to find somebody that just did what you did. it took me the whole night to figure it out lol thank you
We need more of this video, I had to go through 10 videos before I found this one. Thank you for your explanation. Make more.
Very simple and clear explanation. Thank u!
Thanks. I understand now what that plunger is about.

both latches can still open with a credit card ive opened three doors already in my house
That means it's not properly aligned
ive also opened external doors with cards
I wanted to see inside the latch, how the springs go. Thanks for nothing. Here's another dislike
naic work
