Nice work!
Lol put a deadbolt next to a thin piece of glass.
My door was old and shifting in it's frame, so the previous doorknob stuck.>>>ur2.pl/1015 I took a few hours and followed the instructions to tighten my hinges and adjust the door frame so the lock closes without friction. I'm really glad I did, I'm not sure this would have worked properly without a careful install. It was definitely worth the trouble. I made some key copies, and I've literally only used a physical key once, and that was to test if the copies worked. I'm always forgetting if I locked the front door, so being able to check in with the Smartthings app has been f'n fantastic. This is a huge convenience that I didn't know I was missing out on until I tried it myself.
What a great video! Thank you!
should've used 3 inch screws
I need a smart all-around talented friend like you in my life. You are very talented and a great teacher. Could I adopt you for my big sister? 🙂
Great video and explanation!
Which deadbolt installation kit did you use?
You rock! It's been decades since I've done this . Your instructions are easily followed.
"You can use a lipstick". Genius!!! Leah always has the best tips and tricks for making DIY easy.
That's really helpful–thank you!
Thank you Leah! I installed 2 deadbolts today and had a heck of a time getting the hole for the latch to line up. I made quite a mess out of one of the door jams. I wish I had watched your video first. Next time I will follow your trick for marking the spot.
Only problem is theres a window next to it lol
very nice , leah .
what is the circle thing that comes with a new door lock??
She is awesome!
Thank you, Leah. Your videos are amazing and easy for the common weekend warrior to understand.
Leah you are wonderful, you always make easy that "difficult job"..thank you so much
Don't use a pilot bit with the hole saw when using the jig.
