Save your time and money, and impress your friends by replacing a door lock on your own! Trust us, it's easy, all you need is a bit of knowledge and handiness.

What you should know is that all locks can be divided into: locks for wooden doors, locks for metal, aluminum and PVC doors, auxiliary and security locks. The last ones are difficult to pick, because they have many protection levels and are made of reinforced steel. There are cylinder and key security locks. We will show you how to replace the former ones.

First of all, we need to remove the handles, so the lock can fit into the door. After we put it in, we attach it using two screws. Next, we place the cylinder and attach it with the third screw (which is used exclusively for Elzett cylinder locks). Finally, we attach the handles. We can do it two ways: with a hex key or by using a security key which unables the catch to come off.

To make it all even easier for you, we made a video showing how simple this operation really is:
