This was really helpful. My deadbolt wasn’t exactly the same but it did use a hex key which I never would have considered if not for this video. Saved me an expensive locksmith call out. Thank you!

I know your video is a few years old, but we absolutely needed exactly what you described. Well done and to the point. Perfect.

Heidi Estrada - I’m glad it helped! I couldn’t find any other videos or information on this deadbolt at the time. I figured I couldn’t be the only one looking!

Bro, after 4yrs+ , I am finally able to swap out my old deadbolt and SECURE my home. Thank you.

I have had the lock on my basement door for about six years and I could not for the life of me, find the screws to remove this thing. I have been looking this lock up for so long and then KZread decided to work with me for once and lead me to this video, and I was able to change out my lock in just minutes! Thank you for making my Headache go ahead for once.

Awesome! Thanks, still helping 7 years later!

Videos like this is what makes KZread great. Thank you!

OUTSTANDING! I was about to call a locksmith. Nicely done.

Thank you! I could not figure it out by myself, I had the same type of lock with a bolt on one side.

Jesus! I had a lock smith come over and he couldn't take the dead bolt lock off. No wonder. Let me watch this a few more times and maybe I can do this. Great video and thanks for sharing.

You're a lifesaver! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. Came really close to losing my mind!

+Julie Schirmer - Most likely you are correct that the issue is a stripped allen screw. If it is a stripped allen screw, you can use an "EZ Out" to grip and turn our you screw. I recommend that you ask your local hardware store for an "EZ Out" set to remove a stripped screw; they should be able to show you the correct product. Just be careful not to break off the tool when you are using the EZ Out as they are harder and more brittle then the screws you will be removing. Good luck with your project!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I will work with your solutions. I will also press my luck and ask another question. I have a 25 year old Schlage front door set with outdoor key and indoor button and a square decorative plate on the door. Twisting off the round decorative plates elsewhere worked well in the rest of the house but this square plate will not come off. I have twisted, pryed, and poked every tiny hole in the apparatus and I cannot get the thing off. The Schlage rep on customer service was useless. The door-edge bolt plate will not come off from without. Any suggestions? Thanks again. Julie

+Julie Schirmer - It sounds like you have a real puzzler there. Without seeing the lock firsthand, I am not of any use. The only recommendation I have is to take note if there are other houses in the neighborhood (assuming you live in a neighborhood) to see if your neighbors have similar locks. You may also have a well established locksmith in the area or handyman that may have worked on that type of lock before. It never hurts to ask around. I hope you are able to figure it out. Please let me know what happens! Good luck with your project!!

Thanks again. I collected all sorts of tools to drill out the alan screw and I WD-40ed it for 24 hours. I then attacked it with a brand new 5/64th alan wrench and that was all it took! NOW I have successfully removed all the knobs and locks from my 1st floor.........except one. It is a brass outdoor/indoor (front door) Schlage key and button like all the others except instead of a round decorative plate against the door it has a square brass plate. Nothing I can do will get it off. I have stuck pins in all sorts of holes, pryed it, twisted it and nothing works. Any ideas short of calling a locksmith? Puzzled still.

Rich Mahogany - if you have the same deadbolt, there are two small holes on either side of the bolt, behind the cover plate, that allow access to the allen set screws. I show the holes at 1:12 of the video. You don’t need the key to remove the deadbolt, I used the key in the video only to show the allen set screw holes.

If you have the same type of deadbolt, you don't need the key to remove it. I only used the key to extend the bolt out to show the allen key hole. If you notice, the second side I removed without extending the bolt. The Allen key is a standard allen wrench, I'm not sure of the size off hand.

Check under the deadbolt striker plate, there are sometimes set screws under there that will lock the lock set faceplates to keep them from rotating and loosening. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Locksmiths do not see this CRAP very often. If you are ABLE to loosen the allen screws rotate the cylinders out with the key halfway in.
