Best Position for a Deadbolt

I had an interesting question. They said when the deadbolt is locked they like it from the inside, they can see that it’s locked. Now, most manufacturers, if it’s locked, the thumb turn would be turned that way. And here’s a high security lock, it’s a medical high security. So when it’s locked, so you can look at a distance, it’s locked. You don’t have to go up to the door you can just look at it. So most North American made locks. The exceptions are the smart key, the quick sets. What they do sometimes is they got the little lock symbol on top. So, and they got a little arrow here. So what happens is you can actually see it, it says locked. Where the other manufacturers it’s when it’s out, it’s locked.

So again, most like that, it’s in the locked position you can tell the quick sets, have a little lock thing. Now, when we have the offshore locks and you know how I dislike offshore locks, they are usually timed wrong. The, they put together the deadbolt wrong and I’ve gone to jobs and I fixed it. So when it’s in this position it’s locked, this position’s unlocked. But because somebody put it together wrong when I re-key it, I put it together properly. And then the customer says “Oh, it’s reversed to how I had it.” So it’s what people are used to.

The proper way, again, depending upon their locked manufacturer, this would usually be in the locked position you can tell from a distance. Except for certain manufacturers, they’re putting locked on it and offshore stuff could be any which way there’s no rhyme or reason to it. And sometimes we can time ’em. So when it’s horizontal, it’s locked and sometimes we can’t.

So I hope this answered a bit of your question. It’s not as simple as I, I would’ve thought because in the old days it was all, that was the locked position. We’re getting the other locks. They’re putting locked on it now so you can tell. I hope you enjoyed watching this video. Subscribe to my channel.
