Thank you very much for showing me what Kwikset didn't bother to include in their instructions. New door knob time!

Okokok. I've never had a video this spot on and commentary that narrated my thoughts exactly... earned a follow 100%

YOU GAVE THE RIGHT METHOD TO SIMPLIFY OTHER WOULD BE A FULFILLMENT IN MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTION MANUALS IN FOLDED UP BROCHURES WITH A HANDSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT. YOU TAUGHT A VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS ON THAT LATCH SIDE STRIKE PLATE ALTERNATIVE STRIKE RING(!)

Many of the common brands you'll find in the hardware stores usually come with this option. Kwikset, Schlage and Defiant are 3 that are found at most stores in the states and all come with it!

Don't encourage people to take shortcuts and not learn how to chisel properly. JK lol! Awesome tutorial as always! 😃

Most new builds all come with this round drive in latch now

Which is better with the plate or drive in collar?

It really depends… If your door is already pre-cut for a plate, you would want to use the right shaped plate. For wood doors often times when pre-ordered they may come cut out already. If you have a metal door this comes in extremely handy! Since the tool to make an impression in the metal edge costs over $100.. If you are starting from scratch on a blank door, this takes less prep and eliminates chiseling and can give your wood door a clean look. Also, for narrow wooden doors this works well for the DIY! It’s really down to preference outside of metal doors. :)

Surely there is some advantage to using the plate or else why would door makers carve out the space for the plate, and why would door knob makers include the plate.

What is the issue if that latch collar is very loose and keeps falling out after operating the deadbolt a couple times. Do I need a new one, or is it just not engaging like it did in the video?

It should clip in tightly. If it is loose it could be bent slightly, you could possibly try to bend it back in carefully or make sure it is fully seated into place. I have seen them out of the package be bent. Happens in transit, parts and pieces can get bumped around and bent. Especially these caps.

Question. When I popped the pieces a part the inside one isn’t just a plate. Idk how to remove that part ? Help

@LockandKilo

The inside piece is what holds the face plate to the latch. If that piece stays on you can look closely and see if it has notches which need to be turned and aligned to remove. Other types may be removed backwards(along the latch itself). All latches are different, but those are the common ways to remove it!

What’s the reason for this though? Is it better Security?

These are useful for Metal doors that cannot be chiseled. Also, if you have a narrow wooden door or you the installer may not have a chisel or be comfortable using a chisel, possibly a fear of splitting the door for example.. Many doors are sold pre-cut, some latches are recessed, some are not. So, this gives a DIY individual an easy option. But, most of the time you find these on metal door applications :)

It would have been better if you actually showed yourself putting it in the door. Cause some of us aren't too smrt 😂

I tried to save time in the video lol But, the best way is to just slide it in and lightly tap around the ring until it fits snug :) Just make sure to adjust the backset first!
