How do I install a new door lock?

Installing a new door lock is a manageable project for a DIY enthusiast. Just follow these steps:

• Close the door and mark the spot with a pencil where the new lock is to be fitted.
• Drill a hole in the centre of the mark. The depth of the hole should match the length of the door lock cylinder.
• Insert the lock into the hole, making sure the key cylinder is on the outside of the door. The turn knob should be on the inside of the door.
• Secure the lock with the supplied screws. Make sure the lock sits firmly and does not wobble.
• Install the door handle. To do this, insert the spindle through the designated hole in the lock and fasten the handle with the enclosed screws.
• Test the lock. Make sure the key turns smoothly and the door opens and closes.

Don't forget to always pay attention to safety. Wear protective goggles and use the tools properly. Good luck!
