Deadbolt

Installing a deadbolt is a excellent way to protect your door from burglars. The bolt extends into the strike plate that is on the door frame when it's locked, making it more difficult for a burglar to gain entry into the door. A single-cylinder deadbolt can be activated with a key on the exterior, and a thumb-turn piece situated inside. A deadbolt will only work when it is properly installed.

It is first necessary to find out if the door has an existing hole for a deadbolt or if you need to drill it out. Using the template that comes with the lock installation kit, mark the location of the deadbolt hole on the door's surface. Then, use your tape measure to determine how high the deadbolt needs to be. Mark this measurement on the door's edge, and then use a speedsquare to draw a straight line across the mark you made for the bolthole.

Next, use a power drill to drill this area until the hole extends to the opposite side of the door. It could take a few minutes. Then, sand the hole and the edge of the door so that it's smooth. It's also recommended to stain or paint the door at this point.

Remove any visible screws from the deadbolt. This will reveal both the front and rear assembly of the deadbolt, as well as its internal bolt. Remove the bolt and replace it by a new one to match your door hardware. You'll need to remove the bolt from the setplate. After this, you'll need to chisel the surface of the door frame for the strike plate.

If your strike plate is out of alignment It could be due to the previous installer failed to mortise it correctly or an installation of a weatherstripping altered the strike position. You'll need to re-mortise your strike plate and perhaps even the deadbolt to fix this issue. Once this is completed check the deadbolt by closing it and locking it. Test the deadbolt by closing and locking it after the bolt has been extended into the strike plate.

Knob

When a door knob wears out, it can make your home or business less secure. It could also make opening and closing the door more difficult, so it's an ideal idea to replace it. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. You can use a screwdriver as well as pliers to remove the old knob or handle However, be careful not to scratch any other parts on the door.

Before you begin you'll need to spray WD-40 or some other dry lubricant onto the mechanism of the knob on your door. This will help the new lock move smoothly when you turn it. To ensure that it operates properly it is essential to select the right knob and handle to are compatible with your doors. If you don't have a doorknob that is compatible and handle, you'll need to purchase a new one.

To begin the replacement upvc door lock process, first examine the old knob or handle to see what screws are holding it in place. If there aren't screws to hold it in place, you can use a screwdriver to insert the cover plate in between the screws plate hidden behind it.

After removing the old knob take it apart and look for indications of damage and rust. If the knob shows any marks or scratches, you'll have to clean it. Otherwise it shouldn't need any major work.

Install the new knob. You must first study the two knobs to ensure that you've chosen the right one for the door. You'll want to pick one that has an extending rod that is designed to lock with the rod mechanism of the second knob. After you've placed the new knob into the hole then slide it into the latch.

Test the spring by pressing it repeatedly. The latch should spring up every time. Install the second knob and lock it to the rod mechanism of the first knob. Thread in the other long screws from the knob's interior through the cylinder hole on the exterior doorknob and secure it.

Latch

A latch is a piece of metal that extends through the doorjamb to hold it closed. The latch can be operated via a knob or handle on the inside of the door, or by a thumb-turn on the exterior. Deadbolts can be used to secure a latch and keep intrusions from breaking through the glass of the door. It can also protect against the accidental or deliberate closing by children or animals. It is possible to install an entry point with either a single-cylinder deadbolt or double-cylinder deadbolt depending on your preferred level of security.

Installing a deadbolt is the same as installing a latch however there are some differences. To ensure that the new lock is compatible first, you must measure the setback on the doorjamb using a tape measure. The setback is the distance from the edge of the doorjamb to the center of the hole to accommodate the faceplate of the latch. Setbacks for standard latches are 2 3/8 to 2. 3/4 inches. If you have a greater setback, you may need to purchase a larger latch from a hardware store or locksmith.

Next, make a hole for a latch plate at the edge of the doorjamb. Utilize a chisel to smooth out the latch mortise making sure it's large enough for the faceplate of the new latch to sit in a flush position with the doorjamb. Tape the strikeplate in place to ensure it is positioned correctly.

If the strike is too high, you can kick the door in or apply pressure with an iron tire or crowbar. This could also cause cracks in the doorjamb. This can be fixed by drilling a new hole into the doorjamb and then cutting the core from the previous one.

Installing the new strike plate is the final step. This can be done by screwing the new plate over the existing screw holes. Use wood putty then to fill in any old holes for screws or bolts that won't be used. When the putty is dry then sand it to a smooth finish for professional results.

Strike

An electric strike is the metal part where the deadbolt and latch are engaged when the door is closed. It is a vital part of the lock's security because it stops the door from opening and gives an additional level of resistance to force or kicking. If a door has been equipped with an electric strike, it can only be opened using keys or the control unit that governs the electrical impulses.

In the past, putting in an electronic strike required cutting a piece of a doorjamb, which would let the latchbolt of a cylindrical lock from the pocket within the strike. This is an inconvenience in terms of the appearance of an opening as well as exposing the latchbolt and keeper mechanism to unauthorized users.

Recently, several electric strike makers have come up with a brand new electric strike called the "No Cut" strike that doesn't require cutouts in the doorjamb for operation. These strikes use a special design that allows the latchbolt and keeper to slide into the pocket without damaging the faceplate of the doorjamb.

The strike is equipped with an internal ramp that raises the keeper and latchbolt when it receives an electrical signal from a controller or reader. The latchbolt and keeper are pushed on the ramp thanks to the retraction. When the door is shut the deadbolt remains in extended and the latchbolt is retracted into the keeper.

Installing an electric strike is an easy process, particularly in the case of replacing upvc door lock and handle an existing strike door. If you're planning to upgrade an access control system to an electric strike, it is important to make sure that the new system is compatible. 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 safe manner.

Upgrade your strike plates to high duty strike plates to prevent unauthorised entry. These plates use up to six screws of three inches instead of the usual two screws of three-fourths of an inch. These longer screws make it more difficult for someone to break the frame and then reach inside to turn the piece that turns the thumb of a single cylinder deadbolt.
