A single-cylinder deadbolt is activated by a key located on the exterior and a thumb-turn device located on the interior. A deadbolt will only work only if it is correctly installed.

First, you must find out if the door has a hole that is suitable for a deadbolt, or if you have to drill it. Mark the position of the hole for the deadbolt on the surface of the door by using the template supplied with your lock installation set. Then, use your tape measure to determine how high the deadbolt should be. Mark this high point on the door's edge. Use the speedsquare to draw a straightline across the mark that you made for the bolthole.

To fix this problem, you will need to remortise the strike plate and the deadbolt. Once this is completed, test the deadbolt by closing and locking it.

It is essential to choose the best knob and handle that match your doors currently in order to ensure proper operation.

Before you begin the replacement, look over the knob you replaced to determine what screws are holding it in place. If there aren't any screws you can use a screwdriver to insert between the cover plate and the plate with hidden screws and then remove it.

After removing the old knob examine it for indications of damage and rust. You'll need to clean it up if there are any scratches or dents however you don't need to do anything major when the knob is in good working order.

Now is the time to put in the new knob. It is important to first look over the two knobs to make sure that you've selected the correct one for your door.

Thread the long screws from the interior doorknob into the holes for the cylinder on the exterior knob and lock it into the knob's position.

Latch

A latch is a metallic piece that extends into the doorjamb to keep it closed. It is operated with a knob or handle on the inside of the door or by a thumb turn on the outside side of the door. Deadbolts can be used to secure a latch and stop intruders from breaking through the glass of the door. It also helps protect against accidental or intentional closing by pets or children. A latch can be set with a single cylinder deadbolt or double cylinder deadbolts based on the level of security you prefer.

Installing a latch requires the same steps like installing a deadbolt but there are a few differences. First, measure the setback of the doorjamb with a tape measure to be sure that the new lock will fit. The setback is measured from the edge of doorjamb up to the middle of the hole for the latch plate. The standard setback is 2 3/8 to 2 3/4 inches. If your setback is higher it is possible to purchase an extra-long latch from a locksmith or hardware store.

Then, make a hole for a latch plate at the doorjamb's edge. Utilize a chisel to cut the mortise of the latch. Make sure that the depth is enough to allow the faceplate to be in line with the doorjamb. Put the strike plate into the correct position to ensure it is positioned correctly.

If the strike is placed too high, the door could be pushed into or pressure imposed on it using a crowbar or tire iron. This could cause the doorjamb to crack. This can be fixed by drilling a new hole through the doorjamb, and removing the core from the old one.

The final step is to mount the new strike plate, which is done by screwing it in place over the existing screw holes. Then, use wood putty to cover the screw holes that were previously used and the bolt hole that won't be used. Once the putty has dried then sand it to a smooth finish.

Strike

An electric strike is the metallic piece that holds the latch and deadbolt engage when the door is closed. It is an essential part of the lock's overall security, as it prevents the door from opening and gives additional resistance to force or kicking. If a door has been equipped with an electric strike, it will only be opened with an entry key or the control unit which controls the electrical impulses.

Traditionally, installing an electric strike required cutting a small portion of the doorjamb in order to release the latchbolt of a circular lock from the pocket of the strike. This is not only ugly and unattractive, but also exposes the mechanism of the latchbolt and keeper to unauthorized users.

Recently, a variety of electric strike manufacturers have developed a "No Cut" kind of strike that doesn't require a cutout to operate. They use a specific design that allows the latchbolt and keeper to slide into the pocket without damaging the faceplate of the doorjamb.

The strike has an internal ramp that raises the keeper and latchbolt when it receives an electrical impulse from a controller or reader. The retraction of the keeper and latchbolt causes them to rise on the ramp, thereby locking the door. When the door is closed the deadbolt remains at a lower position and the latchbolt retracts into the keeper.

Installing an electronic strike is a simple process, particularly in the case of replacing a patio door lock an existing strike. However, if you're upgrading to an electric strike in an access control system, you'll have to ensure that your new system is compatible with the kind of lock you've chosen to install. It is also necessary to ensure that the strike is properly connected to your access control system and is set up for fail-safe operation.

One way to protect against intrusions by thieves is to upgrade the strike on your doors to a robust strike plate. These plates use up to six screws of three inches instead of the usual two screws of three-fourths of an inch. These screws are longer, making it more difficult for someone to break the frame and then reach inside to turn the thumb turn piece of a single deadbolt cylinder.
