Mr. Bothem home is located in Upland, California. Mr Bothem purchased new locks for his home. We talked and decided it was time
for new locks. Now that the deadbolt was replaced the bottom lock needed cleaning. It was full of dirt and grease. To complete the door a simple cleaning was done to get the lock to work again. A Defiant deadbolt lock was installed temporary until the actual deadbolt that came with this door was returned from the locksmith.
This post shows the six steps to replacing a hardwood front door Defiant dead bolt lock.
Step 1: Fig.1 shows the bottom lock is stuck inside the deadbolt mechanism and needed cleaning.

Step 2: Fig.2 shows the
deadbolt instructions that came with new set.
Read
the instructions to the new deadbolt that was provided. This deadbolt
is only a temporary lock which does not match the existing lock. The old
lock was at a local locksmith being re-keyed to a new key.

Step 3: The old deadbolt assembly was removed
by first removing two deadbolt face plate screws located on the side of
the door. Once removed, two large screws need to be unthreaded from the
lock.
Removing the lock is easy just 4-screws. Putting it back together is much harder.
Step 4: Fig.3 shows the deadbolt completely removed from the door.

top part is placed upwards not downwards.

Step 7: Fig.6 shows the bottom inside door had the handle door knob removed.
Silicone lubrication was used to clean the dirt and grease from the lock face plate so the mechanism would move freely.

Step 8: The slot on the door knob allows the removal of the door knob.

Step 9: Fig.8 and
fig.9 shows the knob needs to be align with the metal shaft pin to be placed back on and working.
If not the door knob will spin but it will not operate the door.

Step 11: Directions: Fig.11 shows the
cylinder (with key) into the of the
polished
cylinder and around the
adapter
plate the
thin metal flat pin inside the
cylinder
guard needs to the threaded inside the
deadbolt slot and into the
interior thumblum rose assembly (handle on the other side). This must be done with two hands, one holding the lock together and the other using the
Phillip screwdriver screws into each part of the lock. Now this door is safe again.
