Great install how to. It covers basically all the issues that you would face doing the install. Great job!

That looks GREAT! I ESPECIALLY like the drill cup in a cup way to expand the hole size! Gotta keep this video. Good one Shannon!

Thorough, clear instructions. With the exception of enlarging an already existing hole, this should be an easy install for anyone looking to update their old deadbolt.

Big fan of yours! I never new the small 1-1/2 dia hole could be made bigger that way. That was cool. I've done so many projects around my house because of your generosity, (one piece shower install, garage door with springs, the list goes on. Thank you again.

2:14 SEE!!!!!!! This is why I've been watching you for a decade or better!! I would have cut a plug, attached it to 2x, clamped it to the door, and cut the hole that way, about an hour later. These are the techniques I watch you for! Sorry to gush but you're young enough to be my son and I keep learning from you.

I appreciate you watching , You comment on pretty much every video Maxid1 , I notice these things. Young enough to be your son? Looking at your profile picture I dont think so, I'm more than half way to 100! LOL

Am about to change out the front door for a newer, thicker warmer one. Wanting to put a card swipey lock thing in. Now im getting a good idea on how to have a go... your site so cool. Super understandable... love your patience. Cheers from New Zealand. 😊

@stans5270 2 ай бұрын

Perhaps check to see if the hole alignment offset is where your new lock needs it to be before cutting a new hole aligned wrong. Check the template.

@HouseImprovements 2 ай бұрын

Pretty much there are two standards for back set 2-3/4 and 2-3/8 and most manufactures have latches that adjust to either backset.

@dickiegreenleaf750 2 ай бұрын

Which I took your advice when I did that last. I also ended up having to call a locksmith since my battery died!!!

@HouseImprovements 2 ай бұрын

These give you a lot of warning when the battery is low. I have 5 and have never had a battery go actually dead. If yours is killing batteries quickly I would call the company, there is likely a problem with it. Ours last close to two years even through our cold winters.

Very well done sir. Have been going to do this to my front door but having a hard time choosing a good brand. Doesn’t have to be the most expensive, I’m more of a middle in the road kind of guy. Any suggestions or are they all pretty basic,,,,,thanks

They are all similar as far as install.

@aaron74 2 ай бұрын

is the weather that nice up there in Sask? Or is this a video that was in your pocket from last year? I've been tempted to get one of those Schlage keypad openers, but I think they have a little more refinement to do maybe? They'll get better, I think. Great guide on enlarging that hole-I had no idea you could use one small hole saw to guide the big one using the right kind of arbor. That's wild.

@HouseImprovements 2 ай бұрын

This was shot last summer . I've got many of these type of Schlage's for a few years now and they have worked very well.

@aaron74 2 ай бұрын

@@HouseImprovementsWhat about that 9V, do you gotta change it often? That'd be a real pain.

@HouseImprovements Ай бұрын

No Aaron actually even in our winters I maybe change the battery every 14 - 16 months or so. I buy good quality ones . What I like about this type is the battery just activates an actuator and it does not have to mechanically move the bolt latch like some others so it does not use much power each time. It activates the lighted buttons as well obviously.

I will add those in the video description. The hole saw size could be different for your lock but normally they are 2-1/8"

Whenever I've played with the display models that they have set up in the stores, the schlage electronic locks all seem to work fine, while almost all the other brands are non functional.

This particular lock has better reviews for reliability and security than many other electric locks. The instructions actually leave out a lot of more detailed instructions, so I have bookmarked the page on the internet for the full manual. It gives info like setting up a holiday feature for a long time away and resetting the lock if it major malfunctions. And the big thing there is NEVER loose the code sticker on the instructions or in the lock cover, because even if you change the programming code, you'll need the original for a factory reset.

@hunatae 2 ай бұрын

what happens if the battery dies? do those still come with a key to unlock it?

@HouseImprovements 2 ай бұрын

Yes there is a key and the lock warns you for a long time when it's getting low. I have 5 of these and have never had one die completely . The battery usually lasts a couple years even through our cold winters.

14:34 That new bolt looks wider and taller than the old one.

@HouseImprovements 2 ай бұрын

Could be slightly.

@patrickleitgeb 2 ай бұрын

I had the same one and it only lasted about 2 years before it started failing. When I changed the batteries it seemed to help initially but soon the lock would just spin and not catch the deadbolt. Took it apart and applied lube but no luck. I will probably just go back to a keyed entry.

@HouseImprovements 2 ай бұрын

Interesting I have not found that issue and I have a few of these locks.
