Introduction
If the deadbolt in your gate is worn, malfunctioning, or damaged, you can easily replace it with a new one by following this guide. To do so, you will need a cross-head screwdriver and the new deadbolt.
There are a few common sizes for deadbolts. By using a tape measure to find the diameter of the pre-existing hole and the thickness of the gate, you can determine the correct choice for your gate.
