Background
Deadbolt security depends on how far the bolt actually travels. A bolt that projects a full inch from the door edge engages the strike deeply enough that spreading the frame will not disengage it, whereas a shorter throw can be defeated by prying the jamb apart far enough for the bolt to clear. The other half of the equation is alignment: a door that has settled, or a strike that was fitted slightly out of position, can leave a bolt only partly thrown while still feeling locked from the inside. Checking that the bolt extends fully without resistance is a thirty-second test that most homeowners never run.

Frequently asked questions
How far should a deadbolt extend?
A full inch of projection from the door edge is the benchmark, because it keeps the bolt engaged even if the frame is spread. A settled door or a misaligned strike can leave the bolt only partly thrown while still feeling locked, so it is worth checking that it extends fully without resistance.
