I have a deadbolt currently. If I got one these,would the top of it go over the hole where the dead bolt was?If not,could I fill in the deadbolt hole?

Ours did not cover the deadbolt hole. We have the original deadbolt still installed, we just don't actually use it.

Eek...If I absolutely had to, I'd probably drill in the crack of the door into where the locking bolt is. Either that or a prybar might work.

The instructions say if the end of the frame is blocked you can up size a hole on the bottom of the frame. The instructions and the install video point out the hole in question. To open up the hole you can use a round file; but the faster way would be a drill with a large bit or a rotary file in a die grinder. You just need to make the hole large enough to get the bolt through, the fish the parts.

Not if it is a standard predrilled door. The inside cover will not fit back on the Kwikset lock. I contacted kwikset tech support about this telling them all they would have to do is shorting the cover and that I would even pay for a special cover but they didn't think we needed to have a deadbolt with there lock. If I could attach a picture I would show you what I did.

YaUs you, the inside lock peice is flush so if you don't want to drill the hole for outside lock it won't be a problem

The round part fits in the hole, but the screw holes on these do not align with the old holes - you will have to drill 2 more holes. Don't know why. Other replacements I bought had the screw holds on the door side in the center of the place. These holes are offset just a tad. Other than that they fit. For new installation they should be fine-- I just don't want to be re-drilling all the time. Actually I want all these euro-hinges gone from the house, but there must be 60 of them all told. Seems like at least one or two have broken springs at any given time and make a cracking noise when opening and closing the door. I hate them... but hey, that's just me.

Mine fit perfectly where the old deadbolt was and no extra holes were necessary. Such a great product!

It fit over my old standard deadbolt lock with no problem, that's what it's for only. You will need to have a regular door handle to open the door. Basically, you punch in the code, turn the knob to unlock it (simply love this bc no batteries) and then you open the door with your regular door knob.

I can't see how you would run a cable through the bottom of the safe. The safe wouldn't sit flat. I drilled 2 holes in the safe, 1 in the back and 1 on the side both near the corner of the safe, in case I needed to move the position of the safe to a different location. Right now, I mounted a 1/2" eyebolt through the side hole and used a carriage bolt and nut and plugged the other closed. The forged eyebolt I ordered on Amazon, and the safe has a chain and a cable that is locked around a support column in my house.

Yes, it will be a problem. A locksmith or handyman should be able to adjust the "tight fit" so that the deadbolt does not require "a bit of force".

Has anyone actually tried this with the "Command" brand hooks as the original poster asked? The provided, over the door hooks are just fine. I'm curious as to if you could use Command hooks so that you don't see anything popping over the front of the door. I would assume Command hooks are not strong enough for this so I am contemplating just screwing the rack into my door...would prefer not to though!

from what I can tell, yes, you can. the part that you insert is just a little ( ) shape protruding from the flat metal bar. you just stick that in the same hole that the door "latch bolt" goes into. so, If the hole in the wall the door latch bolt goes into is at least like an inch tall and an inch wide, it should work fine.

You need to use anchors that expand when you put them into the hole you drill. They will lock in when you bolt them down.

You can put any door that you use with regular locks. Can you change to setup de lock to open to left or right side!But remember that probably you cannot use in your old door holes. You have to close the holes and then make news to your new lock. I canoot buy other door, I did that, is better, but i cant do that if you want!

there are no existing holes for a padlock. You would have to drill your own holes.

Yes, you would have to hack saw the top track. The only problem would be that the door would not close properly at the top due to the zig zag design!

Bolt holes will not perfectly match up. Not a big deal. Drill a new hole. These are made to bolt on with your backrest. I put a luggage trunk on it so I cut the backrest and used the threaded part as spacers. Worked well!!
