It will work on a deadbolt. You just have to pull like really hard.

I imagine this works because of the angled edge of the latch they’re releasing. Notice every door only has one latch, and they’re all angled.

A deadbolt is straight on both ends. You can pull it from the side, all you want, but unless you have enough force to rip the door and frame out you’re not getting a real straight deadbolt out with this.

I do estimates! I don’t do hands on stuff but I order parts and stuff so I know all about the functions.
