Installation of a Home Security Lock System

Bob meets with representatives from both MacLock and Wizard Industries, both of whom demonstrate the installation of this special, high-strength lock system.

Clip Summary

Bob Vila meets with Alexis Willingham and Billy Carmen from MacLock and Wizard Industries, respectively. Willingham demonstrates the MacLock locking mechanism, which features a 28-inch long stainless steel blade (operated by a standard deadbolt system), which extends from the door into the doorframe, and prevents kick-ins. Carmen shows how easy the installation becomes if one uses the router plate that's included in the MacLock installation kit.
