Kilo Army going strong!

Thank you so much my son came home one night and was unable to get the lock to turn hes 16 years old. He got frustrated and he stood kicking the door I was home so now we're trying to take it out and I could not figure out what was going on. It was the little tiny hole behind the dead bolt that I was missing. Thank you you are a lifesaver

You are a life saver! I've been pounding my head and as a man, I've been pounding on parts of the deadbolt. Finally!!!!!

Thank you 🙏🏻 for making this video! It was a life saver for me!

Show me how to take OFF the deadbolt from an actual door

Thank you buddy , I don’t need to call the locksmith . I saved a locksmith expenses. Whew thanks again

Thanks for the video. You gave lots of good information.

This video is just what I needed! Thank you

Great video. Well explained and a definite lifesaver.

Ha, this is like a cross between a Medeco deadbolt and a commercial leverset(As the former has a thumbturn which is secured by an allen screw, and the latter’s rose attaches in the exact same manner).As always, stellar tutorial Kilo!Keep ‘em coming!

Many brands and models use this is some fashion. Some have 2 screws on the thumb turn itself, A lot of Smart Lock deadbolts are like this and confuses people. I show up to homes with the thumb piece removed a lot of times like the one in the video and the customer doesn't know how to remove the plate. I guess I could make a series on just different models with hidden screws lol

THAAAANK YOU! New house and I was stumped just like you said.

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I am looking for 🎉

Thanks for making this video! Really helped me out.

Very nice info my friend

Great advice, cheers

Thank you for the video! Real lifesaver!

Thank you very much for your sharing!

Sure enough, your video/tips worked like a charm! I corrected both my front and back door this morning when I got home from work. I was so ecstatic to have the deadbolts on the right way, I literally stood there and just locked unlocked the door over and over. Thank you again!

You are life saver! God bless you!

Lifesaver. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Was able to repair my deadbolt with no isssues.

Most helpful video thank u!

Thank you so much for this ❤

That was very helpful thanks

Perfect explanation. Knew there had to be another answer than drills and sawzalls.

Great job. Another great informative video Thanks I have a question As a lock smith and with all the “sport lock pickers” out there What lock (Deadbolt) would you put on your own house to keep it safe

@LockandKilo

I will not lie... if you ask the majority of Locksmith's they will tell you Kwikset haha The reason is Locksmith's know the stats and how to target harden their property, so there is a higher probability of them having to pick their own lock in a Lockout situation than someone breaking in. Almost every Locksmith I have worked alongside has had Kwikset/Defiants haha Bump Keys and Lock Picks are mainly used by Locksmiths or Hobbyists and thieves and burglars see all locks the same, they don't know how to identify keyways and honestly you could set a Defiant next to a Protec 2 and they wouldn't know the difference. To answer your question the best I can I would recommend Schlage for your Locksets as unlike Kwikset, Schlage is known for their Anti-Drill features as well as a tougher keyway for a novice to pick. But, you have to keep in mind that most burglars kick the door in, so even if you choose an Abloy Protec 2 you will need to install a high-security strike plate with 2 inch screws. The door hardware always comes with those tiny screws to mount the strike plates and that means that your security is flawed as one kick will tear the frame apart. You want to use 2 inch screws preferably as they will sink into the actual frame of the home and not just the door trim which is soft and weak. High-Security Strike plates usually allow 4-8 screws to be used to help against kick-in attacks. People always overlook the strikes when they purchase their locksets lol Just remember... the tougher the lock you install on your door, the more expensive it will be if you lock yourself out and need a Locksmith lol I have a video on Target Hardening, but you can research it as well for a more in depth look at many ways to deter thieves and as long as you have at least 4-5 of the steps in place you will normally deter probably 90% of opportunistic thieves. Add in a wireless alarm system with signage and you'll deter 99% lol

28 years in Law Enforcement here. I can't remember a single time a break in was by picking the lock open. 99.99% a swift kick to the front, back or side door and they're in. To a lessor extent I've seen ones where a small glass window next to the lock was broken and unlocked. Others are pried open. So as Kilo said target hardening is your best option.

Good info however mine was slightly different. Mine had an allen screw for the turn knob, but didn't have the second allen to remove the cover. All I had to do is pop it off at the bottom like you showed. This was also a Kwikset deadbolt.

Thanks this helped me!

what if that small screw Allen wrench to take it out looks striped, do i need to drill it out?

Thank you!

I have a Schlage with the hole in the thumb knob but it does not have an allen screw in it. Do some have a pin driven in them?

Thanks so much.

Thanks so much!!!

This helped so much

Bless you! I had success.

Great info buddy. I'm sure it helps many ppl.👍🍺😎

Thank you! I try and answer the most common questions DIY folk and Apprentices always ask! If a question comes across my email multiple times I usually try and make a video on them. Almost every video I make is a response to viewers who send these in! I originally was just helping a new apprentice when I made this channel and I planned to maybe make some picking videos... it grew into what you see today lol

It is hard to find the 3/32 size Allen key for the Allen screw

Thanks!

Big help I figure out the Allen key part didn’t expect the 2nd layer 🙄 I HATE THIS DESIGNED HOME OWNER

I need to know the allen key size. I think its 1/16. but I don't know, I will have to experiment. also they do sell replacement screws, if needed. Thanks for the great video, this helped.

Great video! What size is the Allen screw? I tried my Allen wrench and my smallest one was too large..

@LockandKilo

You can try a 3/32. If you do not have the right size in your kit, Kwikset sells Lock Specific Set Screws and Allen Wrench kits online for about $2-$3 from various online hardware and tool distributors!

Lifesaver!

what size is it?

I've lived in my house for 12 years. The deadbolt keyhole has always been upside down. Your video on how to flip it, led me to this video since my Kwikset is the "screwless" type. When I get home in about 4-5 hours, I'm going to finally flip the keyhole, and actually lock and unlock my front door the correct way. Thank you so much for making your videos.

I have a double cylinder lock with no screws or a allen key screws. Just 2 small holes (too small for reg screws driver) on opposite sides of the keyhole. How do I get that off?

Depending on the brand they can have caps that cover the screws, use a lori/allen or use other methods! If you'd like you can email me a photo to LockandKilo@gmail and I can try and guide you more accurately!

Hi, how to prevent the deadbolt knob from turning if the burglar breaks the entry door glass and stick his arm inside and physically turn the knob? Is there an knob lock without changing the multi point lock set?

@gantz4u

Change it to a double keyed dead bolt. You just discovered how 90% of people are going to defeat your "burgle invite sign" erm, I mean "security"..Also why do rich ppl make it so easy? you obviously got good stuff in there if you got glass that lets my hands into your entry way.

Thumb knob won’t come out even after the Allen screw was removed. Any suggestions

Once the screw is completely removed, it may require some gentle prying if it's not coming off. Nothing should be holding it in place, it could just be putting up a fight lol

Holy shit 😂 ive been pulling my hair out for the stupid tab on the bottom. I feel so stupid

kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6d-vM6akpa1f6w.html in this video I show how to rekey the Kwiksets, this video was just about disassembly.

not a bad video... but confusing mentioning "rekeying". This has nothing to do rekeying- and when you rekey the Quikset, you don't have to take anything apart. 🙏🏾

I have a handful of videos on rekeying Kwiksets, I tried saving time on these later videos by just describing various ways on removal. Once the channel exploded and more than a handful of people started finding it, I realized I needed to go wayyy more in depth haha This was a response to a question and I happened to have an old scrap one on hand!

Omg u talk so slow

Thank you!
