You highlighted all of the same problems I encountered 😂😂😂. We did it though! I appreciate you leaving the troubleshooting in your video instead of creating fake perfection content. Keepin’ it real 👍🏼
You would have to lock it from the inside before leaving on vacation. Then go inside the house into the garage and unlock the door before you could open it to park the car. It is a bit annoying but you can rest easy on vacation knowing that door is locked and cannot be opened from the outside.
@@thediygrunt I was looking for an outside application because I live in Florida and when I have to evacuate the garage is the only way I can get back in. My hurricane shutters, stupidly, only hand crank from the inside. And, uh, I’m not planning on being inside after the many storms have inundated some towns. But thank you!
I don't remember the size if I had to guess probably 3/16 or 1/8 those are usually my go to bit sizes for pre drilling. Plus since its metal I was drilling then a drill bit that was metal rated most likely. Though I do remember the garage door frame being fairly thin and weak so maybe it was a normal bit.
Hint: Gaffer tape the 'unlocked' lock to the door in the proposed location PRIOR to permanently fixing it in place and then run the door up and down to make sure the new lock doesn't hit anything. If all OK, you can fix it in the proposed location with confidence.
Thank you for showing the tapping out of the notches in the rail that the lock slides into. Now I know how to do mine.👏🏻 👍👍
I appreciate you showing the mistake!!

You gotta use self tapping sheet metal screws. You’re using machine screws which aren’t a good use in this scenario
How about a video showing an 'external' garage door lock for extra protection.
use another hammer (just push it) on other side when removing the diecut piece. Less stress on mechanism.
What about opening it when you return from vacation? That’s the part I’m looking for as my door came with the inside lock.

@@khbow2810I think they have bolt locks like this that are remote.
What size drill bit did you use?

Where can I buy the lock from
Amazon has a bunch.
