I would like to know how to install my Wyze lock on **deadlatch**. I just moved to a new place with only deadlatch.

 ![2021-08-31](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/4/d/4dbb450345b0fb5e04df09ffe065559cd27dfe22.jpeg)

Any help would be appreciated.

@CGross Welcome to the Wyze forums! Unfortunately, the deadlatch will not work with the Wyze Lock. You will need to install a standard single cylinder deadbolt on your door. See links below.

If I may suggest to take a look at the “Lockpicking Lawyer” YouTube channel for a lot of good and poor locks.
