Can I install this on a door that already has a doorknob & a deadbolt? Meaning....will it cover both holes or can I at least leave the deadbolt in?

You would have to remove the deadbolt from your door to use this product because it will cover the deadbolt hole. However, from a security standpoint I would not recommend using this product to replace a deadbolt lock.

Yes, I installed it , removed the doorknob and kept the deadbolt in.....the thing is though that if you close the door with the deadbolt, you won't be able to get back inside using only the fingerprint...

Depending on the distance between both. I don't think it will cover both holes. When I installed it, I had one hole for the doorknob and a deadbolt below it.

It was a new door installation the contractor had the holes cut as a standard door with knob and deadbolt, the deadbolt fit right in and worked perfectly, no extra holes. Only change from plan, the remote was not programmed for the deadbolt and it had to be synced. Instructions included were simple to follow however.

This item mounts through an existing standard "Peephole". There isn't any other mount to secure it to the door even if it covers hole you reference.

I had a door knob on my front door and this went right in the existing holes with one exception. The one screw at the very bottom of the handle needed to be drilled. I did it by hand with the screw that came with it but if I were to do it over again I would probably grab my drill and drill a small pilot hole. It does come with templates if you need to do any drilling but I think they are for brand new doors. If you don't have a dead bolt currently you will absolutely need a hole for that.

Yes, this can just be adhered to a wall instead of a door. There is no hole for the door knob but it is not difficult to make a small hole for the mechanism to fit through. Remove the door knob first and do not make the hole any bigger than the hole in the door so the shield on the handle hides it.

It will just cover one. you can intall a seperate regular deadbolt to fill the second hole.

Yes I installed the deadbolt on our back door. I would rate it well for the price. I would suggest you order locks and passage sets for all of your exterior doors as they will key them all the same so you only need one key to unlock any door.

No, it's fit my existing deadbolt, and I don't have to drill any holes.Thank you,

I had a handy man install it (i have to admit) but think it was pretty easy, think you take off doorknob and put it underneath. it works really well. we are happy with it. good luck.

Just figured out that a Schlage double cylinder deadbolt uses the almost identical design as the old Dexter. It can be made to fit a door with a 1 5/8ths hole. You do have to widen the actual deadbolt hole to 1". I used a flat file in my drill since I didn't have a one inch drill bit with me. You do have to remove the anti-pick shield which is easy. Saved me from having to drill out three doors for my mother in law.

I use it in a front house door and the old lock did not have this hole, so I had to by a cover for the dead bolt lock and drill a hole for the little hole above the lock , my problem was the dead bolt was to close to the regular door lock and interfered with the adel lock , however I am very happy with it so far .....

I did not do the install on this, it was put on new construction. However, I know there was just 2 wires coming out of the house and the Craftmade doorbell has 4 screws, 1 each corner. This is so large, it will cover one of the "2-screw installations". After the wiring is connected, it could just be caulked or glued onto your surface.

If your door works with a standard doorknob, it will work with this. If not, you'll need to get crafty.

Don't know my lock is in the center and has an exterior handle to turn and release the door. The dead bolt is key operated from the outside.You may have to drill a hole in your door but I think it might work. It's probably not going to fit naturally.

It will cover a regular USA door knob hole with a standard backset. However, the sides of the knob do not attach to each other like a standard USA door knob. The two halves of the knob each screw to their respective side of the wood door. The through hole needs to be no larger than the size of the square shaft which is about 3/8 square. I drilled a standard hole for the knob and then had no wood to attach the knobs. The handles that rotate are just barely above the recessed holes for the screws so there is no way to use a bolt and nut through the knob to join the two halves. Both halves are identical with the D handle on each side.

I think the unit will cover your hole but the mounting screw holes may be inside your opening. Perhaps you can attach a fill-in back plate to your hole then easily mount the new unit.

You have installed it wrong. Mine did this and I went back and read the instructions and I had the mechanism inside installed 180 degrees off. Reinstalling it correctly solved the problem. This feature (pushing the logo button) allows you to lock the deadbolt without entering the combination and it should only work once for locking the door. If it works all the time anyone could walk up to the door - push the button and open the door. Please check your installation.
