Hello, I am looking to switch this deadbolt style door lock, for a smart lock I have purchased. I wasn’t expecting the metal housing you can see in the pic. My other door didn’t have this. Anyone able to advise on what kind of lock this is? (If I had some pliers on me…) can I just pull this metal casing out? It’s a Kwikset branded lock if that helps....

I have an exterior door where the top hinge has pulled away from the frame which is making it very difficult to open and shut. I've watched a few videos like this one that suggest popping out the pin and adjusting the knuckles, however, it seems that this door has a non-removable pin. Any suggestions on how I can go about fixing this door? Thank you!...

It’s just a hole cut in the main vent. I cut a filter and seal it up in there. The prior owners just had a larger filter and when it was time to change, they would take it out and flip it. What can I do to fix this? submitted by /u/tallmon [link] [comments]
