One of the best, easy-to-follow videos I've ever seen (on anything). The procedure of installing a security bolt was explained thoroughly and very informatively with tips on how the locking mechanism works. Now I know how everything fits together, I am confident of tackling a security bolt stubbornly stuck in the (door) open position. I might well need to buy an actual new security bolt, but at least now I know what I need to do to replace the old one. Thank you for posting!

Use a Stanley knive to scribe round the lock plate first before you chisel the depth of the plate.. you will get a much cleaner finish..

I moved to another house and found these locks on our kitchen door. Searched for the star key on toolstation, bought it but didn't work. Not sure weather the lock is jammed or i need a different key. Could anyone please advise..?? Brand name of the lock is chubb.

To be brutally honest ... I really don't like to be negative, thats seriously a rough job! Mind you I've seen qualified carpenters work just as bad, mainly because they couldn't give a monkeys. You certainly don't need to countersink for the back of the plate's", to accommodate the the plates siting flush, a tap with the hammer or even the screws would tighten them into the timber and at the same time restrict movement. Fair play to you for giving it ago....

It would be really helpful if you could list exactly the tools needed. Thanks.
Ive bought a few of these rack bolts for my internal doors. Video makes it look fairly straightforward but I have some questions..... Are the keys different for every lock or universal? Doesnt seem much point as a security measure if anyone can buy one anywhere and it'll fit the lock. I noticed you placed the baseplate nearer to the front of the door edge not dead centre, what's the reason for that? The key length maybe? How do I make sure Im drilling the hole straight to house the bolt? Thanks

The key for this type of lock is universal. In reality the key is nothing more than a removable thumb-turn. It's just a replacement for a more traditional surface mounted bolt. So you'd be locking it from the inside anyway. If you want a lock with a unique key (that you can lock/unlock from both sides of the door) then I would suggest a mortice lock. You don't need to be too precise when drilling the hole so just go by eye.
