   • STEP 1: Measure and mark the door. Determine where you want to install the deadbolt. A deadbolt lock is typically installed 6 or 12 inches above the key lock (roughly 44 inches from the bottom of the door). Using the tape measure, determine an appropriate spot and mark it on the edge of the door (the part through which the bolt is going to extend).

   Can you put a deadbolt on an interior door?

   • It is possible to install a deadbolt on an interior door. You’ll follow the same process that you would for an exterior door. Just keep in mind that most interior doors, especially hollow-core doors, are not as strong as exterior doors and therefore do not offer the same level of security. Q. Are one-sided deadbolts secure?

   What is a deadbolt lock?

   • Deadbolt locks offer superior protection compared to standard spring bolt locks. These locks extend a solid metal bolt into the door frame, making it much more difficult for intruders to force the door open. There are several types of deadbolt locks available, each with its own set of features and benefits:

   Can a deadbolt lock damage a door?

   • Although installing a deadbolt lock is a job most DIYers can handle, there is risk of damage to the door if you’re not careful. Adding a deadbolt to a door involves measuring and drilling holes to fit the deadbolt lock. If you measure incorrectly, you could end up drilling a hole in the wrong spot, ruining the door in the process.

   How hard is it to open a door with a deadbolt latch?

   • Prying open a door with a deadbolt latch is also harder because a deadbolt extends a full inch into the door jamb as opposed to the half inch of a spring lock. Some homeowners insurance companies provide discounts for homes with deadbolt locks on all exterior doors.

   • Measure and mark the door. Determine where you want to install the deadbolt. A deadbolt lock is typically installed 6 or 12 inches above the key lock (roughly 44 inches from the bottom of the door).
   • Use a hole saw to drill cleanly through the door. Before you start drilling holes, check the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure you have all of the lock’s required parts (including the keys!)
   • Chisel and install the faceplate. Line up the faceplate on the door’s edge, matching the hole in the plate with the hole you just drilled. Holding the plate in position, trace around it with your pencil, marking its silhouette.
   • Drill the bolt hole and install the strike plate. After locking and unlocking the mechanism a few times to test its functionality, mark the end of the bolt with a felt-tip pen, lipstick, crayon, or anything you have handy that will transfer a mark from the bolt to the jamb.
