An extendable trim ring for deadbolt locks having a collar slidably mounted in an annular flange. The flange is defined by a tubular wall outwardly-encircled by a protruding lip, and a notch running around the lip. In addition, the rim of the flange is defined by alternately longer and shorter teeth. The annular collar is slidably received within the annular flange. Specifically, the annular collar has a tubular wall seated within the notch of the flange. The inner surface of the collar is defined by a plurality of recessed axial tracks for slidably receiving the alternately longer and shorter teeth of the flange. Thus, the collar can be pulled from the flange (to extract said teeth from the tracks), rotated, and reinserted for pull-and-twist adjustment of the extension of the collar from the flange. The convenient pull-and-twist adjustment accommodates two different door thicknesses, such as a standard 1⅜″ [35 mm] to a narrow door thickness of or 1¾″ [44 mm], or as otherwise desired for residential door thicknesses, and can easily set and installed in the field.
