The housing includes a longitudinal length, a back wall extending along the longitudinal length, and side walls defining an entry chamber. The keeper is disposed in the entry chamber about an axis of rotation parallel with the back wall. The keeper is rotatable about the axis of rotation between locked and unlocked positions. The back wall is disposed opposite the keeper when the keeper is in the locked position. The deadbolt bracket is adjustably positioned in the entry chamber along the housing longitudinal length, wherein the deadbolt bracket includes a first wall, a second wall, and a bracket side wall connecting the first wall and the second wall. The deadbolt bracket defines at least a portion of a deadbolt receiving chamber for the deadbolt.
