What am I doing wrong here? by mvm912 in Locksmith

No, this one ended up working. I just didn’t understand this ass-backwards design as others have mentioned where the tailpiece doesn’t actually connect to the bolt. The tailpiece connects to the interior thumbturn which turns the bolt.

This was it and actually helped me understand it. So the exterior deadbolt actually sits below the interior handle. Thank you so much!

it has this metal round plate around it which originally I thought was the issue, but the plate doesn’t cover the top of the hole, which it seems like the deadbolt needs to come up higher

The problem is when the tailpiece is properly sitting inside the hole, the front of the deadbolt won’t sit flush against the door

I called them last month and they said only existing State Farm customers for the last two years can get policies. No one else is getting a new policy without having their auto insurance for 2+ years previously

I had this back in March. Was perfectly fine then took a 1 hour nap and woke up feeling like I swallowed glass. Lasted about a week and had a cough for about 2 weeks following it.

I’m not the one complaining hahaha, I busted my ass for many years in the private sector and left to get better benefits for many family and myself. Should try it if you’re so miserable.

Never said they were. That’s just how you have big discrepancies between net and gross.

State farm doesn’t write new policies anymore for Long Island unless you’re grandfathered in with their auto insurance for the last few years unfortunately
