How to repair a Deadbolt that wont unlock
Hi and welcome back to my channel. Last week when my kids came home they could not unlock the front door deadbolt. In this short video I repair the deadbolt in under 8 minutes.
I first started by unscrewing the 2 bolts on the deadbolt which are located inside the house with a Philips screwdriver. Do not use a power tool here because you may damage the lock further.
After the lock was removed (this is easier if you have a second person on the other side of the door) I was able to access the sliding bolt mechanism. I used my Philips screwdriver in an attempt to move the bolt back into the door. I placed the screwdriver into the the place where the bolt shaft inserts, and attempted to move it back and forth. It took a few minutes but the bolt finally released back into the door. I then put the deadbolt back together and tested the bolt before closing the door and locking it again.
I believe the door needs to be pushed from the inside or pulled from the outside when unlocking / locking to keep the bolt from having pressure on it from the strike pate.
