Installing a Deadbolt

Installing a deadbolt door lock is often viewed as a difficult task. Many homeowners decide to use a carpenter or locksmith to attach the new electronic door lock that they just bought. While there is nothing wrong with this, in actuality the average Joe can do this job himself. Handiwork is very easy, and with a little bit of knowledge, a small set of common tools, and a little bit of time, you can install a deadbolt yourself.

The first thing you want to do is take a look at your door. Is there a preexisting hole? If not, no problem. Most deadbolt door locks come with a template that shows you where to drill and screw. Start by figuring out where you want the lock to go. Keep in mind, some digital door locks have handles that are a little bit below the lock itself; if so figure out where you want the handle, and line the lock hole up accordingly. When attaching the template to the door, use a combo square if you can, to ensure proper alignment. Also use tape that won't tear paint off a door.

After you have chosen the location and taped the template to the door, it is time to start drilling the hole for the locking mechanism. You will need a hole saw, which is a large drill bit with saw teeth on the edge of a cylinder, that attaches to pretty much every common drill. Use a hole saw that matches the size of the hole on the template. Start drilling slowly, applying even and firm pressure to prevent it from moving. After you have drilled through to the other side, it is time to drill the hole for the bolt. Using a spade bit, drill the hole for the bolt where the template shows. It should line up with the hole you drilled for the mechanism. Check you template, as some locks require a bolt hole to be extended on the far side of the mechanism hole. One important tip when drilling: always stop when the pilot bit comes out the other side of the door, then pull the drill out and finish drilling from the other side; this will prevent the drill from cracking the wood. After drilling the holes, look on the template for the screw-holes, and drill pilot holes in each spot with a twist bit that is smaller then the screws themselves.

Now that the holes are drilled on the door, it is time to install the latch plate. Line the bolt hole up with the latch plate, trace the edge onto the door with a pencil or utility knife. Chisel out this area so that the latch plate sits flush on the door. Start by using light taps of the hammer onto the chisel handle, to ensure you don't go too deep. Now attach the latch plate onto the door by screwing it into the holes you already should have drilled pilots for. Note, you will have to insert the bolt before you screw in the latch plate.

The next step is to install the strike plate. The strike plate usually has 3 pieces, a strike frame reinforcer, a box for the bolt, and the strike plate itself. Lining up the bolt correctly with the hole you need to drill for the strike plate is very important. After you have done this, mark with a pencil where the screws will go for the reinforcer plate. Next, mark where the screws will go for the strike plate; the screws for the strike plate usually also screw into the bolt box. Now, using a spade drill bit large enough for the bolt box, drill a hole deep enough to ensure it goes in, with about a 1/4 inch extra. The next step is to trace the outline of the reinforcer or strike plate, and chisel a hole onto the frame to insert the 3 pieces, ensuring that they fit flush. After this, screw in the reinforcer plate, then screw in the bolt box and the strike plate.

Now it is time to attach the lock mechanism itself. This part is rather simple. Many electronic door locks have wires to connect the front of the lock to the back. Feed the wires from the front through the hole, and connect. Attach the axle that activates the bolt. Now, holding the front piece up, attach the rear piece, and screw them both together, making sure the screws are in tight. This should be it.

Using Principles to Solve Problems

Problem is covered by an existing policy or a personal theory: the key question to ask yourself when you have a problem? There is an existing policy or a personal theory that tells you whether you should go ahead or not?

Roy Disney is the obvious point that decisions are easy. I'm not talking about corporate policy. Individuals should have clear principles. This makes problem solving easier. If something comes up that your principles, your morals or ethics are violated, you will not care to temptation.

This is one of the Nordstrom department store is so successful is your policy manual. The whole thing is a page long.

'S Nordstrom POLICY MANUAL

... rules: Rule 1: Use good judgment in all cases there will be no additional rules.

One of the most successful country in grocery stores, Connecticut, Stew Leonard, engraved in a rock outside the front door of his own policy manual. The two long paragraphs:

Stu 'S Leonard POLICY MANUAL

Rule 1. If the customer is always right.

Rule 2. If the customer is ever wrong, reread the rules.

There is a great policy? If you want to go to a business where the customer is always wrong, not to become a policeman, a storeowner.

Imagine how many times a day at Nordstroms Stew Leonards an employee or whether they should or should not do miracles. Then they think of company policy, and what to do.

When I was young, I'm in Bakersfield, California Montgomery Ward was manager of the store merchandise. However, a small farming community of Bakersfield we had 600 stores nationwide, ranked outside the top 15. Keep your customers happy at all cost we did with the resolution.hero as well. "

Individual policies are called theories. It is important that you have a personal policy is to guide you. An individual policy that we have a theory.

The simple act of driving a car to go to the store. This is only a mile away - we should bother to put on seat belts? If our personal policy / principle that we always drive with a seat belt, there is no wasted energy making a decision. We slip it on almost without realizing it.

Store on the way to the traffic signal turns yellow. There is an increase of adrenaline. We go for it, or hit the brakes? If our private policy / principle is that we always stop for yellow lights, we waste energy without peace, stop.

A car is standing in the road, pull in traffic waiting to open. We wave ahead of us, or should it wait? To clarify our principles, there is no hesitation.

Now understand that I am not telling you how to drive, although I do not care about your own safety please. Yellow light gun for your individual policy tells you, or never wear a seat belt and pull in front of a shock to you, that - I think - is your business. I'm here, that if you have a personal policy by which you do not need to run your day, a disabled, lives are wasting energy.

If you feel so nervous driving to the store just wasted energy, imagination, how much waste there is an organization that is a clear company policy! I have been in such organizations. Leaders that such a tight rein on all levels of people agonize over decisions, think about whether they are owners would agree with that at all.Organizations that have a clear policy that is a pleasure to work with are. As Roy Disney said, when values ​​are clear, the decision is easy.

Your problem is covered by their policies? The third question to see if it fits your corporate and individual policies. If it does, you can either follow the policy, or consider changing the policy. You do not make random exception policy.

If you already have a policy for the problem, you should consider if it is likely to recur. If it is likely to recur, a policy that tells you how to handle the next time it comes up should be installed.

After you have made a decision, it is important to determine if you need a policy to handle this is if it comes again. "It is likely to recur?" Whenever you solve a problem to find yourself if you set a policy, all future responses can be programmed. If the problem recurs, it does not require a decision.

Someone who you probably know lost everything during the Great Depression. They then borrowed money on real estate once again made a policy. They know they had a policy, and it did not smart, but it stayed with them for the rest of their lives.

Problem solving shapes your life, you become the sum total of all the problems. But what is even more important that you create a policy after you solve a problem. If the problem is likely to come back, write a policy to handle this in the future. That is exactly what the size of the rest of your life. And that's exactly what shape the future of your company.
