were they using this product? why not just bust out a window if there's a fire? You would have to know how to unlock this product if you ever use it- are you implying the first night you use it you may have a fire?

@@elilauffer You might have someone over that doesn't know how to unlock it. In a life or death situation the adrenaline might make it hard to figure out

@@elilauffer busting a window in a building that's on fire will only make the fire worse as the outside oxygen feeds the flames

even a person with half brain can unlock a door.

@@godschild5587 you're forgetting a lot of people don't even have half a brain, dumbass

He also lies. McNally used a milk carton to open this lock. He responded by saying McNally used his intellectual property and had it taken down. This lock is garbage 😊

Same here I live in public housing apartments we have a screen door that locks but no key to it and then the main doors only have 1 lock in the knob no deadbolt or nothing it’s pitiful

Its surprisingly good.

Excellent idea to change those screws for longer ones. Great tip… Thank you for sharing it.

You can open them with a milk jug tho-

@@MicrowavedBurritosShadow Shh don't say that to loud, She might hear you 😨

If she takes a slice of milk jug and slides it between the door and jam it will pop right open.. be aware. Try it. Not kidding

do you mean when the lock is longer than the frame? do i use a chisel

What if I got brick on the side I would need bew screws right ?

I wd install 2 on each door.

Great product, easily opened with a milk jug.

Hopefully, if someone tries to break in, they don't have a milk jug 😂😂😂😂

Exactly! I live in a “not so good” area and I will be installing these about 1 foot below the knob.

A friend of mine has these, he installed 2 on each door, one at the top and one at the bottom

@@jameswest1375That’s great! Could someone still get in?

No one kicks at the bottom of a door.

I live in Australia, how can I get my hands on one of these?

You might want to take a look at our Segal Slam Lock You can set this lock to automatically lock as you exit. You can see them at the top of the page here. www.primeline.net/product-categories/door-security/segal You can also set it to NOT automatically lock, for when you're home and coming in and out of the house.

Can you please share the thickness of the metal that goes into the gap? I am wondering if I am going to be needing a chisel

​@@Wert_CA1/16"

Can someone eventually get it? This looks like it works well.

Only if the trim is interfering with the lock opening fully.

Every door in my house has a trim board around it. Please do a video showing that door type?

Even with door trim, the unit can be mounted without mortising the trim. in most cases The mounting tab is fairly long, and the lock is designed with an angle on the backside to help with this. We've mounted it on a solid core door with aluminum frame and trim and had no issues. I've uploaded a few photos looking down on the lock so you can see the angle that should clear your trim. You can see them here: imgur.com/a/kctTp

The original Proline brand is sold in Home Depot. Lots of cheap knock offs online

We use a freestanding door in a frame to make it easier for us to film. Kind of hard to explain, but the fixed bracket that screws to the frame sticks out past the edge of the door frame then sweeps back at 45 deg. so it should be able to clear most casings. The Home Depot website has a 360 deg. viewer for these that lets you see all the way around. You should be able to tell what I'm talking about there. www.homedepot.com/p/Prime-Line-Door-Reinforcement-Lock-3-in-Stop-Aluminum-Construction-Satin-Nickel-Anodized-Finish-U-10827/202258432

Or a milk jug. 😂😂😂

@@spammerscammer I would like to see this as I don't believe it.

You may have to drill a hole. then tap it with whatever size and thread your bolt will be. its a bit more work since its a metal frame.

What did you do to fix this? Same issue here!!

@@asherrz shoot man, I forgot about these things altogether, I sold that house 2 years ago. I can't remember if I changed anything or just left them half engaged

This lock will only work on in-swinging doors.

John Smith stop watching too many Chuck Norris movies 😂😂😂

Wake up, this is REAL life. Not a fake video

@John Smith what people should do is reinforce the door jam and hinges for better kick in protection.

@A Berryman or replace the door jam with a block home. :-)

When something like this was demonstrated, the lock is to high. Your absolutely correct. Plus the door jams aren't that strong

This is designed to be a secondary lock for use when you are inside the house. It cannot be locked from the outside. You'll still need your regular key locks for when you leave the house.

Why not put two?

Yes, but because you can't mortise the steel frame, you'll have to make sure there's enough clearance between the door and the frame. You'll need to have about 1/8 in.

It doesn't have to be touching the door to work. A little space is fine.

@@PrimeLineHowTo thanks.

hehehehehe

The screws are long enough to go thru the door frame.

@@vinnynguyen123 - He's talking about perimeter door trim, like window/door casing.

It can be mounted on the left or right side and will function the same either way.

No. You have to physically pull the lock out and over the the locking mechanism.

my 120 pound dog will be glad to see you 😇

No, these are only for in-swinging doors.

I think it must take a superhuman..

i figured mine out... pull out away from its hinges then back

Angel Galvan comon , really

Conrad Hotchkiss you don’t have to be rude about it, he has an honest question

Angel, this only locks from the inside if that’s what you’re asking.

There needs to be enough room between the door frame and the door for this part to work. You can trace the part, then remove it and use a chisel to mortise out a little bit of the door frame at a time until it doesn't rub anymore.

The original video wasn't very clear on this. Check this video that shows how it's unlocked: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7xlfdagt7PNkYU.html

It is unlocked once it is installed

no...... pull outward on the plastic part. Jusst like the guy in the vid does.

This product will not work on twin doors.

If your door opens outwards then you will not have to worry about someone kicking it in.

excellent idea

Doesn't work on double doors that latch together. Sorry.

@@PrimeLineHowTo actually your wrong gaurdian makes latches for double doors .

@@juggalothuggalo1162 This lock, doesn't work for double doors. There are others that do.

Hi Juan, the gap between the door frame and the door needs to be 7/16" or less.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry, I meant that after installation, there is a gap in between the front of the door and the rubber pad that holds the door closed. I can't install it any deeper into the gap between the edge of the door and the door frame. I hope I'm making sense. lol..

I understand. If it's a wood frame door you can slot the door stop enough so that the door lock can slide further back into the frame and sits tighter to the door. It doesn't really have to be tight to work. A little space is fine.

Thanks for the quick reply! that's what I'll do.

This product isn't designed to work with double doors.

Did you watch the damn video? lol I am constantly bewildered as to how some people manage to make their way through life.

No. The lock is not free swinging. It’s captive with swing reinfocement when not in use. You have to really grab unto the lock and lift it to disengage from its safety pin to swing it to lock unto door.

Get this product on Home Depot. This product is so effective, lots of cheap knock-offs online

Try a drill bit for concrete or metal that may be behind the wood

You can use shorter screws, but the lock won't be as strong as when using longer screws.

@@PrimeLineHowTo thanks so much for responding 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Was thinking the same thing, that lock can only be used when you're at home

True. However, if installed in/on a home, you can keep the back & front doors bolted/active & then just exit through the kitchen/garage door as you normally would. So, two outta three ain’t bad when away. Also, upgrading to 3” screws in your strike plate is the first line of defense. Motion cameras & lighting are good deterrents too.

MySchizo Buddy you cant

Activate it, and then leave the house through your window

It's called a garage door.
