How to install a deadbolt in a door without a guide or jig
Ғылым және технология
Installing a deadbolt on a new door doesn't have to be difficult. In this video, I install a deadbolt from scratch on a slab exterior door using two hole saws and a router bit along with a chisel and measuring tools. The parts I used came from this kit: amzn.to/3VTTMBS

@toolsandrepairs how long do you think this would take for a homeowner who's handy with tools?

The short answer is always longer than you think at first. Actually assembling the lock and strike plate of course only take a few minutes. But for all the measuring, sawing, chiseling and routing to take quicker than a few hours, you will need to be more than just handy with tools; this is not a beginner's carpentry job. The hole-sawing doesn't take too long. But the first time I did this I was shocked at how long the routing for the strike plates took but it's even longer just using chisels.
