To save cost, builders don't always install deadbolt locks on all exterior doors. We have found this to be especially true for doors leading from the house to an attached garage. The garage may be secure but what happens when you forget to close the garage door? This episode provides detailed instructions on how to install a deadbolt lock on an existing door. Scroll down for a more complete description of this episode.
The main tools used in this episode are a drill and bits, holesaw, chisel, hammer, punch, tape measure and six inch ruler. Tips are provided for measuring and marking, the proper use of a holesaw, and chiseling mortises. The episode is focused on a new installation but the information would be useful, albeit overkill, for replacing an old deadbolt with a new one. The video is approximately 30 minutes long.
