How To Install High Security Door Locks!
One
of the most important aspects of home security is high-security door locks.
These new door lock installation can be found at just about any hardware store online or
offline. Price may vary considerably by brand, but all secure door locks have
some of the essential components: solid, case-hardened steel cylinder guard,
case hardened screws and a bolt that protrudes at least 1 inch from the edge of
the door.
Upon
purchasing your new door lock, you should have noticed a template. This
template should be marked for different door thicknesses. Take the model and
fold it, make sharp corners along the lines of your door size. You will then
position the template about 6 inches above the existing doorknob and tape it to
the door. Once the model has been taped to the door, take a sharp object,
preferably a nail, and mark the bolt hole and a hole for the lock. Once your
marks have been made, remove the template.
Next,
simply close the door so that it will remain steady, using an electric drill
and a hole saw slowly make the necessary hole in the door. It may be required
to stop the exercise several times to avoid splintering the wood around the
edge of the tunnel. Be sure once the small bit has pushed through the door, go
to the other side of the door, and finish the hole.
Once
you have made the appropriate size hole in the door, you will then need to
wedge it open. Using a wood drill, make the holes for the lock. Next, slide the
bolt assembly into the bolt hole. Make sure the bolt assembly is flush and mark
the outline of the faceplate. Using a chisel cut out a hole for the faceplate.
Be sure to chisel just enough area for the faceplate. Attach the faceplate and
move on to the final steps.
It's
time now to insert the drive bar into its rightful place. Keep in mind the
drive bar may be too large, so cutting may be necessary. Insert the guide bar
and then the lock assembly if the drive bar doesn't want to turn to rotate the
assembly 180 degrees. If the rotation allows the drive bar to spin freely,
remove the lock assembly, and install the retaining plate. Replace the lock
assembly and using the available screws, tighten your lock into place.
