Willingham demonstrates the MacLock locking mechanism, which consists of a 28-inch long stainless steel blade that extends from the door into the doorframe to prevent kick-ins and is operated by a standard deadbolt system. Carmen shows how easy the installation is with the router plate that is included in the MacLock installation kit.
