When you take the old door lock out does it fit in easily, do you use the old striker plate or does it come with one?

It comes with two stiker plates, one for square edge opening and one with rounded edge opening. It also has two locking assemblies, one for a single hole and one for the full size hole. It slide right in where the old door knob assembly comes out. For standard openings, there is no drilling or cutting or any woodwork needed at all. Again, it took me less than 20 mins to install.

It has been a while since I installed this, but as I recall, you have to remove the door knob (just two screws) and then you insert a plastic plate behind the metal knob. There are little plastic teeth that you punch out to match your particular door knob. Then, you screw the knob back on the door and that holds the lever lock on. It isn't hard once you get the hang of it. I found the first one slightly difficult, but it wasn't bad once I got the hang of it.

While the picture only shows the knob, the package includes all you need to have a locking door knob. This includes the inside and outside knobs w back plates, the latch itself (backset?) and the plate into which the latch fits. In my situation, everything fit in the holes and recesses used for the set being replaced. Only complication was that old plate had square corners and this plate had rounded corners which required some wood filler before painting. Not a big deal.

I have a 2002 with aftermarket door locks. It worked well for mine even used the same mount screw holes. Pull the panel and see how it is mounted. You may have to drill some new holes.

It comes with everything you need to mount it. Screws for both metal and wood doors are included, along with spacers and the striker plate. Installation takes about 15 minutes if you have a standard door frame.

There are two models, one that locks the door normally and one that locks the door with a dead bolt. I have the normal (no dead bolt) on the front entry door and the dead bolt on the side garage door. These are so nice as you never need a key anymore. I still have original 9 volt battery in each. Highly recommend them. And yes they cover the old locks space on the door, at least it did for me.

It comes with a hard plastic cover that slides into place on either side of the door. It does not literally 'lock' with a key type lock. Hope this helps.

Yes. If your door is metal, you just mount the unit close enough to the door so the magnet-operated striker holds to the door when it closes. Then when you open the door the striker pulls out slightly before striking the gong! Works well!

They have to touch. It absolutely has to touch the plate and it has to mate pretty much perfectly...I would suggest that unless you can get a very, very good mate on the two pieces, this is not a good use for this particular door lock. But if you can get the pieces to meet well, it should work fine. I've found that the 600 can be pulled open with force...if you're trying to protect something valuable, get the 1200.

I do not have a Pella door either, but as Popi said the handle fit on my door perfectly... HOWEVER....the latch lock trigger thing that you push up or down... is very flimsy and I am extremely worried that its going to break off.My door is very hard to lock and unlock and I have to push it very hard to do both. The trigger part is kind of bending and I think its either made of Tin or plastic instead of solid steel.

Mine was a new installation in a door that didn't already have a deadbolt. I used a 2 1/8" hole saw and a 1" hole saw to bore the holes. Then I used a 1/4" straight router bit to inset the strike plate and bolt plates, but that could be done manually with a chisel. Then of course a phillips screwdriver.

The door jamb plate has several punch outs . The only issue would be the supplied 2 smaller over the the bolt plates,as you would need 1more.

The package only contains 1 strike plate. It worked well for me since I needed the plate to be adjustable and cover a larger area in the door jam.

the lock(s) have size details on them. You would have to measure the depth of your door to determine if the locking mechanism would be 'too long' as well as the distance between the lock penetration and the lip of the door frame, another area where the paddle of the locking mechanism could be too long. these are fairly inexpensive so buying two different setups wouldn't be cost prohibitive. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "things". Like Chief states it is a complete kit, if you are replacing an existing door lock set you will get the strike plate with screws along with the handles and internal workings, there are several different options for installation per the instructions but it is an easy 5 minute replacement job. The handles are completely reversable.

I think the strike plate just ads more strength to the addalock. I mean as long as you have a hole deep enough that your door shuts securely into, then this SHOULD work, but I think a better idea would be they make a "door stop" type where you "hook" the bottom of the device under the door, then step down on the "pedal" and it make a strong door stopper where the door will not open easy, and I think that might work better. or even just check your door, and look around Amazons locks they have a wide range that probably will fit.

Yes. You need a bit of room on either side of the closure (door/frame) for the metal plate. If there is wood-trim too close to the edge it will be slightly loose but still effective. The idea is to prevent casual entry, to make noise if tampered with, and to slow down a thief while the alarm is ringing. Most thieves want to be in and out in minutes and this adds another problem to their navigation.
