G'day mate! If you're looking to upgrade the security of your home or business, fitting an entrance lock is a great option. And with a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, it's a job you can easily tackle yourself. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fit an entrance lock like a true blue Aussie:
Step 1: Gather your materials. You'll need an entrance lock, screws, a drill, a drill bit, a screwdriver, key ring, a tape measure, and a pencil.
Step 2: Measure the door. Measure the thickness of your door and the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the hole for the lock cylinder. This will help you make sure you get the right size entrance lock for your door.
Step 3: Mark the location for the entrance lock. Hold the entrance lock against the door and use a pencil to mark the spot where the lock will go on the door edge.
Step 4: Drill a hole for the entrance lock. Using a drill and a drill bit, drill a hole through the door edge at the marked location. The hole should be slightly larger than the diameter of the entrance lock cylinder.
Step 5: Install the entrance lock. Hold the entrance lock against the door and insert the lock cylinder through the hole. Secure the lock in place using the screws provided.
Step 6: Test the entrance lock. Test the entrance lock to make sure it's properly secured and functioning correctly. If needed, make any necessary adjustments.
Step 7: Install the strike plate. Install the strike plate on the door frame, aligning it with the entrance lock. Secure the strike plate in place using screws.
Step 8: Test the entrance lock again. Test the entrance lock again to make sure it's properly secured and functioning correctly.
And there you have it! With a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, you can easily fit an entrance lock like a true blue Aussie. Just remember, if you're not sure about any part of the process, it's always best to consult with a professional locksmith for assistance.
