Deadbolt

Installing a deadbolt is a great way to secure your door from burglars. When the bolt is extended into the strike plate of the doorframe, it makes it harder for an intruder through the door. A single cylinder deadbolt is activated by keys on the exterior side and a thumb turn piece on the interior. A deadbolt is only effective only if it's correctly installed, though.

First, you must find out if the door has an existing hole for a deadbolt, or if you need to bore it out. Mark the location of the hole for the deadbolt on the surface of the door by using the template supplied with the lock installation set. Then, use the tape measure to determine the height the deadbolt needs to be. Then, mark the height on the edge of the door and use a speed square to draw an even line across the mark you made for the bolt hole.

Then, use a power drill to bore out this area until the hole is on the other side of the door. It may take a while. Sand the hole and edge of the door to make it smooth. At this moment, it's a good idea to stain or paint your door.

Then, unscrew the bolt and replace it with a brand new one that matches the door hardware. The bolt is usually connected to a set plate that you need to unbolt. After that then you need to chisel out the area for the strike plate that is on the replacement upvc door lock mechanism frame.

If your strike plate isn't aligned properly it's likely that the previous installer didn't mortise it correctly or a weatherstripping came along and changed the strike position. You will need to re-mortise the strike plate and possibly even the deadbolt to fix the issue. After this is done, test the deadbolt by closing and locking it.

To ensure that it operates properly it is important to select a knob and handle that match your existing doors. If you don't have a matching knob you'll need to purchase a new doorknob and latch plate.

Before you begin replacing the knob, take a look at the knob that was previously used to determine which screws are that are holding it in place. If there aren't any screws to hold it in place, you can use a screwdriver to wedge the cover plate between the hidden screws plate.

After taking the knob off take it apart and look for indications of damage and rust. If the knob shows any marks or scratches it's time to clean it. Otherwise it shouldn't require any major work.

Now it's time to install the new knob. You should first examine the two knobs in order to make sure that you've chosen the appropriate one for your door.

Once you've positioned the new knob in the hole in the door and then carefully insert it into the latch.

Thread the latch plate screws downwards and test the spring by pushing down several times. The latch should pop up each time. Install the second knob and secure it to the rod mechanism of the first knob. Thread in the other long screws from the interior knob through the cylinder hole on the doorknob on the outside and secure it.

Latch

A latch is a piece metal that extends into the doorjamb to hold it closed. The latch is operated either by a knob or handle on the interior of the door, or a thumb-turn on the exterior. The latch can be secured using deadbolts to prevent thieves from breaking through the glass. It also helps protect against intentional or accidental closing by children or animals. You can choose to install a latch with either a single-cylinder deadbolt or double-cylinder deadbolt, depending on your preferred level of security.

Installing a deadbolt can be the same as installing a latch however, there are some distinctions. First, determine the setback of the doorjamb using an instrument to make sure the new lock will fit. The setback is the distance between the edge of the doorjamb, to the center of the hole to accommodate the faceplate for the latch. Setbacks for standard latches are 2 3/8 to 2. 3/4 inches. If your setback is greater it is possible to purchase an extra-long latch from a locksmith or hardware store.

The next step is to drill an edge bore hole through the doorjamb to accommodate the latch plate. Utilize a chisel to smooth out the latch mortise and ensure it's deep enough to allow the faceplate of the new latch to sit in a flush position with the doorjamb. Place the strike plate in the correct position to ensure it's in the right position.

If the strike is too high, you could knock the upvc door replacement lock down or apply pressure with an iron tire or crowbar. This could also cause cracks in the doorjamb. To correct this, the strike can be lowered by drilling a new hole in the doorjamb and cutting out the core of the previous hole.

Installing the new strike plate is the final step. This can be accomplished by fixing the new plate to the existing screwholes. Then apply wood putty to cover the holes from the previous screws and the bolt hole that will not be used. After the putty has dried, sand it to an even finish.

Strike

The piece of metal that connects the latch and deadbolt when the door is shut is an electric strike. It is an essential part of the lock's overall safety because it prevents the door from opening and gives an additional barrier to force or kicking. If a door comes with an electronic strike, it can be opened only with an entry key and a control unit that controls its electrical impulses.

In the past, installing an electronic strike was as simple as cutting a portion of a doorjamb, which would let the latchbolt of a cylindrical lock from the pocket within the strike. This modification can be an inconvenience in terms of the appearance of an opening, and it also exposes the keeper mechanism and latchbolt to unintentional users.

Recently, several electric strike makers have come up with an innovative type of electric strike dubbed the "No Cut" strike that doesn't require cutouts in the doorjamb to operate. These strikes use a special design that allows the latchbolt and keeper to slide into the pocket without causing damage to the doorjamb's faceplate.

The strike is equipped with an internal ramp that raises the latchbolt and keeper whenever it receives the signal of the reader. The retracting of the keeper and latchbolt causes them to rise on the ramp, locking the door. When the door is shut, the deadbolt remains retracted, and the latchbolt is retracted into the keeper.

Installing an electric strike can be a simple process, especially if you are replacing the strike on a previous door. However, if you're upgrading to an electric strike in an access control system, you will need to make sure your new system is compatible with the kind of lock you've installed. You will also have to make sure that the strike is connected to your access control system and is set up to operate in a fail-safe way.

One method to guard against intrusions by thieves is to upgrade the strike on your doors to a robust strike plate. These plates use four to six screws of three inches instead of the two three-fourth inch screws typically employed in regular strikes. These longer screws make breaking the frame to reach the piece that turns the thumb on a single cylinder deadbolt more difficult.
