Had so many videos showing hassle of taking off interior door just to replace outside door handle. You are a genius you nailed that repair!! Thanks for a non headache solution.
Why dont they commercialized this making it in a tubular with shaped weights to make it neat. Been searching for auto close for sliding door without motor. All i see is those neumatic door closer that has a lot of negative comments because they dont last long. This could be such a great idea.
Hello. I live in Northern Thailand. After 7 years my dog has just started opening the flyscreen door at the back of the house. We get some nasty mosquitoes here. I found your episode here. I looked at a lot and yours is the most informative. Today I put the pulleys in place and everything is working smoothly. Thank you for posting this invaluable idea.
Very Clever! Thanks.
Woooow!! What a hack..I'm going to Lowe's in the morning. Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Very helpful. Thanks so much
what's the name of the machine you used to clean with, please
Brilliant.
Son maybe grown, but he needs needs reminded that his acting debut was loved by all.
So simple and took so long to find. Make a slide with a grate. Just keep the kids from trying to slide on this one. Thank you.
platonically of course
I make a L shaped metal bracket & pop rivet it to the original remaining handle on the car door. Then I roughen up the inside of the broken outer door handle & use a 2 part epoxy to attach it to the bracket. When you open the door you actually grab the metal bracket instead of the outer handle.
I just did this and it worked great. I didn't notice if there was anything securing the mesh to the ladder. I used some spring clamps. The clamps also made it easy to empty the chute of debris, by allowing you to flip the whole ladder upside down
Do you tie the wire mesh on to the ladder so it doesn’t move or slip off? If so, how did you do that?
Hi liz21988, great question. Yes - I tied the mesh to the ladder using a few twisty ties that we already had in our home. (Alternatively, you could use some zip ties.) Glad to be of help! Please let me know if this simple homespun system works well for you. Thanks for writing, and all the very best with your DIY projects!
Probably the best version of a rock sifter I’ve seen, you don’t need to shake it around or anything. Saves the back. Thanks!
Hi juantwog, thanks for your comment! Working with landscaping rock is tough heavy work, so please let me know if this simple homespun system works well for you. All the very best with your DIY projects!
Wow. This is EXACTLY what I was trying to figure out how to do and you've made it a breeze. I taught my dog how to "nose" in and out of the house but now I have to get up off the couch every time he changes his mind (which is a lot). Lol. This should fix that! Thank you!!
Darn wish we had see this to fix your door handle!
How well does the fix hold up to cold weather?
Hi @JStorm13, great question! The adhesive I used is more 'brittle' - with little or no flexibility, and this can be problematic in colder/ icy weather conditions. That said, I compensated by intentionally opening the door more gently. Bottom line: The adhesive should hold, however if you happen to grab the handle and pull hard (perhaps without thinking), it may snap off unfortunately. Hope this helps, and all the very best with your vehicle... and future DIY projects!
Thanks but…. my handle broke into 3 pieces. You’re right about being difficult to replace. However. When one doesn’t know any better and orders a new handle (which was about $14 tax included) I wound up cutting the metal out of the way from the interior of the door. You know…..Toyota could have raised the price of the vehicle by 5 cents and used metal. I would have paid the extra nickel. Older cars never had to replace door handles. Some car designer got a $500,000 bonus for saving Toyota that nickel.
Hi @berniesmith6466, you're absolutely right! A very poor design and choice of material for the door handle - particularly considering it's one of the most frequently used components on the vehicle. (Still love that Camry model though!) All the very best with your vehicle!
@@andrewbrit71 Thank you for your reply. If you're ever in Florida and want to purchase a property, I am a real estate agent. and a sale from you would mean I could buy a new car.
but how wide is the moulding?.. 3'' long.. but how WIDE?
Hi @rrmoh, my apologies for the delayed response. I don't have the vehicle any longer (sadly) - the result of loaning it to someone who collided with another vehicle at an intersection - though I believe the molding was either 3/4" or 1" wide: Sufficient to fit underneath the door handle casing, and adhere to the flat surface area. Hope that helps - and all the very best with your vehicle!
It takes quite a bit less time to replace the unit. It's like 5 screws and 2 bolts between remove the door panel and the latch
Mid doing the full job. I’m doing this on the next handle that breaks😑😑
Something like this might be what we have to do in the future. We might run out of gravel at some point.
Winner winner chicken dinner!
Very helpful video if the handle broke off in one piece. Unfortunately, the driver's side front door of my 1998 Camry broke off in pieces and i cannot do the fix that you did. Yah, taking off the door panel from the inside and replacing the handle that way is what I will have to do hopefully on my own after seeing some YT videos. My Camry is almost 26 years old and only has 141K miles on it. The engine leaks oil but the car still drives well. Not sure how much longer I will keep it since the engine repair will cost more than what the car is worth. I am 70 and this car is the BEST car I have ever owned! Cheers from New Mexico! 😎
Go to a junk yard with a saw and cutting tools & pick up the missing/broken piece from another vehicle
Hi @DougCeleste. Sorry for my very delayed response, however I did want to say "thanks" for your feedback. Yes, this solution wouldn't work well if the original handle shattered into pieces - the result of poor manufacturer design and choice of material (i.e. plastic) for the handle unit itself, unfortunately. That said, at 141k miles I would think your Camry has a LOT of life and joyful journeying left in it - with maintenance and care. *Glad to hear the way you feel about it too! All the very best with your Camry!
@@andrewbrit71 Thanks for your reply, Andrew, from the UK! I have a British neighbor next door here in Albuquerque, NM. and other British friends in California and in Liverpool. Yes, Toyota did a VERY poor design with this car handle and it being plastic. I remember a part of it breaking off on Easter Sunday in 2012, just 14.5 years after I bought the car. Getting it replaced is VERY hard and not something I think I will do. I use needle nose pliers to move the handle so I can get inside the car on the driver's side front door. The car still runs well but leaks some oil. Probably a gasket issue on the engine but a fix that probably will cost much more than what the car is worth and that is why I have not gotten it repaired. Anyhow, cheers to you in the UK! 😎
Did anyone do what this guy did? How is it holding up? Did you end up having to reglue it? Is there a best type of glue to use? Is there better glue for cold and hot temperatures?
Hi @moderaterevolution504. Great question! From my reply above... "The adhesive I used is more 'brittle' - with little or no flexibility, and this can be problematic in colder/ icy weather conditions. That said, I compensated by intentionally opening the door more gently. Bottom line: The adhesive should hold, however if you happen to grab the handle and pull hard (perhaps without thinking), it may snap off unfortunately." Hope this helps, and all the very best with your vehicle... and future DIY projects!
@@andrewbrit71 Yeah only lasts a couple months, but its better then nothing.
Sorry to hear that. My repair lasted significantly longer (a couple of years), however it's fair to say this solution probably has a limited life expectancy - and is dependent upon the usage and demands placed on the handle. (An epoxy may work better perhaps?) Thanks again for writing, and all the very best!
@@andrewbrit71 Yeah mine was not quite sophisticated as yours. I would need to sand down and get a fully flat surface on the plastic, and im sure it would work better which is what ill do on the next time it falls off.
I like this idea! Thanks for sharing it 🕊

great ideam i am doing it
Hi @pkp2023. Sorry for my delayed response, however I did want to say "thanks very much" for your feedback - and all the very best with your DIY projects! (Let me know how this solution turns out for you!)
brilliant idea. all the other videos i looked up on sifting rock from dirt require wood frames that need cutting as well as other tools and equipment. This is something I can do with just a ladder and screen. Question, is there a certain strength of wire mesh I need? My landscape rocks are about twice the size as yours I believe and I don't want to bend or break the wire framing if they are too heavy.
Hi Secret Shopper, great question! I would think the standard off-the-shelf gauge/ thickness of wire mesh that we bought (nothing 'industrial' strength) from Lowes or Home Depot will still do the trick nicely. Note: The SLOPE or gradient of the FILTER SCREEN actually helps offset much of the actual weight of the rock itself - because the rocks simply roll down the surface of the SCREEN as opposed to sitting still on the screen and exerting their full weight downward. Hope that helps, and makes sense the way I've explained it. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. All the very best with your DIY projects!
Hi YouNeverKnowWholsWatching, thanks for your comment - and so sorry I missed your question. I'm not sure of the 'gauge' (diameter) of wire that was used for the manufacture of this mesh, however it was fairly standard and off-the-shelf. If I was you, I would purchase the thickest wire mesh available - with no more than a 1/2 to 3/4 inch gap for your size of rock - and try that. Turning up the sides of the mesh at a right-angle to create a 'channel' for the rock to travel down through will actually add strength to the mesh structure - so that should help. Also, because you are using gravity here with this system, the rocks are 'rolling down' the mesh rather than sitting on top of it - so you are not trying to support the entire weight of the rocks that you're filtering. Hope that helps, and again sorry for my late reply. All the very best with your DIY projects!
Nothing is worse than people leaving the screen door open to let the bugs invade your house, leaving me to having to chase and capture them. As your guest go home to their big free home. Thank you for your genius.
Thank-you, JS Speaks. This is a fairly easy solution - and not very difficult to install. All the very best with your own DIY projects!
Great idea!
Thanks, misgapeach. All the very best with your own DIY projects!
Every time someone showcases something like this I'm left smacking myself on the forehead going "why didn't I think of that?" Only two possibilities: either I'm an idiot or you're a genius. I'm going with both. Thanks to you both for helping this old dummy immensely lol You're both scholars and gentlemen! :)
Hi @MattFitVlog. So sorry for my VERY delayed response, however I did want to say "thanks very much" for your feedback - and all the very best with your DIY projects! You are no "dummy" I'm sure. We all gain so much from listening to (and learning from) the great ideas of those around us. Let me know if you try this solution, and how it works out for you. Cheers!

Houston Texas say thanks so much
Thanks very much, albert! (And sorry for my late response.) Glad I could be of help with the idea, and all the very best with your DIY projects!
Good thing to do even before the handle breaks-it's easier to do when it's not broken. So do both at the same time.
Genius. An extra low paddle on each side of the screendoor, and my dogs can exit and enter freely while we keep moskitoes out ^_^
Hi @BagheeraRaceGamer. Sorry for missing your comment, and for my very late response. Great idea! I actually ran with this concept and installed an L-bracket (low) on the outside of my screen door so our dog could enter freely from the outside... It works wonderfully! Thanks. All the very best with your DIY projects! Cheers!
Thanks to your video, I think I can do this.

Easiest I've seen
Thanks, George. Yes - we found this system easy to set up, and effective at getting the job done. All the very best with your DIY projects!
thank you so much I could easily take it off and go through all the BS it's not too hard just very time consuming. but I didn't want to, this is beautiful!! thank you, guess I'll go to a junk yard and rip one off so I have a handle. because when I got my 2000 Camry it was already gone. now if only I can find the replacement speaker covers for the back with the clips, so I can break them and just clip in the new ones after I drill or grind down the old screws. but sadly I still have to pull the door panels off for the front doors I only have one rear speaker. lol ( if you have any easy speaker replacement for the front door ones please let me know) also got to replace the struts guy got new ones but there trash, so AutoZone seems to be the cheapest for good struts . KYB Struts 156 for front. and 144 for rear. tie rods both inter and outer are shot both sides, both control arms, and replacing Ball Joints while I'm at it, Stabilizer Links, Front Sway Bar Links, rear lateral links one adjustable and other non adjustable going to do all 4 but I dread it because of the gas tank. dude really must had not took care of car, but it's camry and they are wonderful will drive 500.000 miles without a problem if you take care of them. I already got this www.ebay.com/itm/113595391223 all the parts I need for the front end but the struts, going to get front two first, because I'm broke then buy the back rear lateral links and back struts after that. so much to do plus need two new tires. lol got two new front but it rubs the frame when turning so try to take short turns the best I can, dude wreaked it :/ so much to do and so little money on disability :( but at least there nothing to big if it was I couldn't do it, hard one a cripple like me with one leg when I get on the ground I'm a turtle, it's so hard to get up but upright I do ok. anyway thank you for this great video.
Glad to be of help, Gerald. It's not the permanent professional fix for this issue of course, however as our cars get older we sometimes just need solid 'workaround' repairs. Thanks for checking in, and all the very best with your DIY projects!
@@andrewbrit71 only thing bad I don't have a face plate guy I got the car from probably threw it away. but oh well the comer molding will be fine, lately I been opening it by lifting up the broke ends, a bit of trouble but works, but did cut myself once so much easier to do this. thanks again.
Hola. hey I hear you, s'tough "surviving" on disability income. very. you have to give up fast cars, expensive women, your condo, flights to Rio... oh, wait, that was a previous life... 😛 but seriously, yes, whatever you can fix, fixit. I've learned how to replace mirrors, door latches, windshield nozzles, window regulators... but struts and anything underneath the car, I dunno, I don't have jackstands or a garage or tools to speak of. kYB struts? better than Monroe (had these, they died, why people think they're OK is beYOND me...). Be nice if folks would include a, hmm Price List so we can tell how much replacement parts cost... Gerald, you may have but one leg but you've got a great spirit and facile mind. Take best care, dude. (mumbling to self...KYB..huh..)
Watched a few videos yours is easy cheap and fast to setup
can you sand the L bracket so it has more of a flush look to the door handle?
Hi @ZE308AC. First of all, sorry to have missed your question - and for my very delayed response. I'm sure you could sand down the bracket, however I used 3/4" or 1" wide molding which fit perfectly inside the door handle, and was flush - as you can see (hopefully) in the video. Thanks very much for your question, and all the very best with your DIY projects! Cheers!
Excellent! Great video, great explanation, great idea, great work! Thank you :)
