How do you mark a door jamb for a deadbolt?
If you’ve ever installed a lockset or deadbolt on a door, you know how hard it is to accurately mark where the strike plate goes on the door jamb. The solution is to use a little lipstick. First, open the door and rub the lipstick onto the latch or deadbolt. Any color will do, but bright red works best.
Why does my deadbolt not line up?
To solve the issue, just tighten the hinges to solve the misalignment. If that does not work, you can replace the old screws with longer ones. If tightening or replacing is not enough, you can add some shims under the door hinges. The door hinge shims correct the alignment of the door jamb.
