Aaron, Typically the dead bolt is installed just below the entry latch, about 2 to 3 ", not so close as to weaken the latch plate side, but up enough to get into the heavier part that you will find there. You generally do not need more support than the dead bolt casement striker plate added to the opening. Measure carefully because you only get to cut once. -Eddie- Houston, TX ----- Original Message ----- >I want to add a deadbolt to the entry door on my 62 SS.
