Replacing Inside Cylinder of Door Lock

Hi. I'm Mark Sullivan for Expert Village and today we're going to show you how to change the lock on your commercial steel door. The next step is now we are ready to start putting the lock back together. We're going to put the key into the inside lock. So, you see how the mechanism works. Okay, next we're going to go ahead and screw these back into the door. I'm going to take these pliers. So the next thing we're going to do is we're going to put the outer lock in place by simply screwing it into the threaded part inside the door frame. Now, you want to make sure you don't get this cross threaded. This is a pretty delicate operation here. I'm turning it backwards now to feel where the threads start. You can feel it click and then you can screw it in properly. So, we're just going to screw this in until it's snug. Something like that. Maybe one more turn.
