Lock Type
Let’s determine what kind of existing hardware you have.
Review the lock types below to find the kind of lock that looks most like yours.
1
Standard Deadbolt
A lock where the deadbolt is separate from the latch or knob and has an exterior profile greater than 2/4” (19mm)
Tubular locks vary in design and are not standardized. Level Bolt works with Tubular locks that do
not share an exterior faceplate.
Interlocking and Mortise Locks are not compatible with Level Bolt. Consider adding Level Bolt
to a different door.
Most Standard and Low Profile residential deadbolts can be replaced with Level Bolt.
A lock that sits in a pocket that’s cut into the
edge of the door. From the side view, one
large pocket is visible.
Mortise Lock
A lock that combines the latch action with
the deadbolt action. When the latch is
depressed, it may interact with the deadbolt
mechanism.
Interlocking
An interlocking
lock retracts
both the latch
and deadbolt
when you turn
the handle
A lock that presents a visual combinatiomn
of the latch with the deadbolt. Often the
latch works independently of the deadbolt.
Tubular
A lock that minimizes the projection off the
door - generally measuring less than 3/4”
(19mm) off of the door surface.
Low Profile

Door Alignment
Over time, doors can become misaligned due to normal wear and tear or changes
in weather. All deadbolts need a properly aligned door to operate smoothly.
Let’s check your door alignment:
With the door closed in its normal position, does the latch engage properly and hold
the door in the closed position? Does the bolt lock and unlock without any friction?
Tip: If you need to push or pull on the door so the deadbolt can turn smoothly, your
door is misaligned and needs adjusting.
