How to Install Latch for Keyless Entry Deadbolt

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Daniel on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to be installing the latch for our deadbolt. A couple of things to keep in mind are our back set is 2 3/8. Now most latches now days they come where you can simply convert. This one you twists and it gets longer. That would be 2 ¾. I want to make sure that we are on the 2 3/8. If you have any doubt, simply put it to the door and make sure that it centers where your mechanism goes through; This one is a drive in. We went with the drive in because it is just simplest on a door like this. We could have mortised it out like we did our stripe plate but on this one all that we need to do is make sure that w are straight. Then we take a hammer or a rubber mallet and just tap it in until it is flushed. What you want to do after you've done that is just double check by opening the door making sure everything is in alignment and put it to the right back set. "
