- In this video, I show you how to put in a new door knob on a door already in your home. This door knob hole has already been drilled and is ready for the install. Sounds easy... and it is! I also show you a trick to stop the annoying "loose latch syndrome" that I have encountered so many times.

Wait stop thats actually why im here
Yes
Both my parents are deceased. I just bought my second house
This was very helpful, I have to switch out an existing knob for a new one and just wanted an easy explanation of how to do that and this was perfect.
Great to hear! Happy to help!
❤ ❤❤ Wow 😮 super easy to install after watching your video sir ! Thanks for your videos!!!😊
You rock, the instructions that came with the knob were so insanely unhelpful. You really saved my grandma and I who installed a new doorknob because were locked in our house due to an old and poorly installed doorknob.
So helpful! Our contractor has ghosted us at the end of a massive remodel. I put on my big girl pants and installed all the door handles with your help. Thank you!
Glad to see it helped!
from a college girl moving into her first apartment 5 hours from home, thank you 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
💜I can't thank you enough! I had to replace a doorknob after having to dismantle (break) one. (My niece locked herself out of her bedroom 🙄) I found your video right away, and was impressed by the clear, straightforward visual. My intuition was right! Your video was very straightforward, clear, and easy to follow. I thought this would take me at least an hour, but I was done in minutes! Thank you for keeping it simple for DIYers like me!👍💜
Glad to hear that the video helped!
2022 & your tips still worked! Thank you totally needed this
Thanks for the tip! My cat likes to shake the doors with her paws very early in the morning 😑 This is going to be a life saver.
Mine too! 😆
Wonderful! Saved $100 by not calling the locksmith. You made the job look so easy
Thank you so much for this video! I just put in a door knob after my boyfriend gave up.
My mom and I really needed to see you toss that useless piece of hardware (2 new novices) that we were spending way to much time on! You saved us much time, great video! Thanks so much!!!
Awesome to hear! Yeah, I have never used it. Thanks for watching and happy to help you out, Vickie!
@@TheFixerHomeRepairDo you know how to remove said piece of hardware in a door? I want to change my door knob but I am not able to remove this thing from the door to place new one in! HELP ME
Thank you! Thanks to you I was able to install the door knob. You have all my gratitude, thank you so very much!
Great DIY video. Thank you for doing this, very helpful.
Even though this is 2020 now your tips still worked appreciate it🤝
I came here (Jan 2021) to see how to install this knob as a replacement. The round part confused me. Thanks to you, I know I don’t need it. Thanks so much - great video!!
Thank you so much for this easily explained video. I’ll be installing it as soon as my locks arrive from Amazon. 🙏
That little round slot was annoying AF! I came here to see you pitch that POS!😂 Thought I was crazy at first. THANK YOU SIR!
Thank you so much for your upload, this was really helpful straight to the point and easy to follow. I recently gotten me a new door knob, but was worried as hell if I messed up everything on my first try.
Super helpful and learned something new☺
Thanks saying the silver piece was useless, made it super easy
Thank you SO MUCH! And to think, I was about to hire someone to do this. 😊
Thank you!!!! I was so lost about that little circle piece! Installed my first door knob today because of you!!
Awesome!! Glad it helped! 😃
Thank you for this helpful video! It was very easy to follow and I was able to install a door lock myself!

Inside the latch plate. You can pull the tab out alil to take up that space to make the door tight!!

Great video, thanks !!
Thank you
Helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for the information. A big money saver and now I'm a hero in the home!
Watched the video to see what the thingy u threw away does. Great video!
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you 😊
This works fine so long as the paint on both the door and the jam are properly cured (at least a week, 4 weeks if you follow paint recommendations). If you repaint your door or frame or both, you cant close the door for weeks without it sticking and ruining the paint job. Pretty sure thats why they leave some play in the door.
Same goes with the hinge side, too close and it will stick or rub.
thanks dad
Thank u
thanks sir
Thank you.
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much fr🤟🏽
thanks
Perfect!
Thanks buddy
Great video thanks
Thanks for watching!
How did you line up the screws that hold the door knob in place so quickly? It always takes me like 10 minutes
Does that also prevent slipping a card between the latch?
Can we reverse the door knob?
The one that goes the other side can be used inside and the inside knob to outside?
So what does the cylinder that you threw out at the beginning of the video do?? I have no clue where it goes or what it does.
“You’re not really supposed to do this but I do it anyway”
Isn't the airflow.for the AC and heat efficiency?
ALL my existing doors in my house that I just bought ONLY have that little round part. I'm going to have to get a chisel and carve out space for the rectangle part - OR - maybe the new ones all come with that little round piece??
Thank you so much for the very easy tutorial. I literally did it by myself and I’m not the brightest tool in the shed.😂 but thank you very much you made it very easy❤
Glad it helped! 😃
Thank you for your excellent lesson you have helped grately! I did your strike plate secret and before that the door was loose! Then after just as you showed us its now tight! Thank you im really happy I found your video and got it right. God Bless you man
Super helpful video! Is it necessary to predrill if I am only using a screwdriver?
I would still pre-drill. The reason for pre drilling is to avoid cracking the frame. It is very easy to do with "new pine growth" wood that these door frames are typically made from. Hope the video helped you out! Thanks for watching!
Yes! Always pre drill otherwise you will crack the door!
I have to trimmed the door a little and now lost the pre taper plate and the inside part goes to far in. How do I make adjustment
Awesome
Is there an easy way to align those two screws, it's kinda annoying I find it very hard sometimes.
Thanks for the tips! I found out none of the pre drilled holes were big enough so I had to make the changes
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
How can I fix my door, that has already been done? Or rather can I correct my door, and do it your way for a tighter seal.
Yo hahaha this helped me fixed my stucked door knob lmaoo coz they have the same locks hahah thanks!!!
Great to hear! Happy my video could help! 😁😁
You're the dad I never had
Thanks! My mom took of my lock and I forgot how to install it
I got the mechanism and the whole thing installed but it was to far from the latch and wouldn’t keep the door closed I tried putting pieces of cardboard behind the latch before I drilled it in to push it out and make it connect but it was a loss I can’t really do anything right now
What did you use to paint the squares of the door. Like the part going inward??
Hey, Vanesa! I use what is called a "wizzy roller". Just a small 3 inch paint roller and then back brushed it with an angled paint brush. Thanks for watching!
😭 the tools will take me 1 day to find goodness this is tough stuff
Hey im just a teen and i've been making my own builds and stuff and i was trying to installa lock door but everytime i try it seems like the lock wouldnt move it just keeps going in a circle and wont unlock does anyone know why?
How come after I put the doorknob on, the doorknob piece that goes into the latch plate, is too small. It doesn’t “click.”
Hi
So was the hole in the door already there? Did you have to drill it yourself. How did you drill it. What did you use to make the hole? How did you measure where to put the hole???
Liz Beth the door probably came with precut holes
Don’t let the doorknob hit ya where the good lord split ya
that useless round piece caused me a lot of grief, happy to see it thrown out.
So what room are you installing this on?
This is my master bedroom. Thanks for checking out the video!
I keep having trouble with aligning the screws to thread them into other part
Can you adjust the latch tang instead of cutting the door frame to improve fitment when the door is shut?
You can, I just like to mortise the latch in to make it look nice. Thanks for checking out the video!
I just tried replacing two entry door knobs and for whatever reason the new pieces don’t line up with the pre made holes in the doorway. The hole that it’s supposed to latch into is too high. The metal piece when screwed, covers the bottom half of the hole! On one door, the deadbolt scrapes the bottom of the hole and on the other door the latch for the knob scrapes the bottom of the hole as well!!
Without the metal part of course. Cause with it screwed to the door frame it stops it from even entering the hole
What's the diameter of the big hole. Why need such huge hole in the first place?
What if you don’t have the cut out in the door already? Not for the knob but for the plate that goes on the door side, not the plate on the wall side. Hope that makes sense.
that's when you would use the round piece that he tossed
Do any Americans know what the clutch is for on cordless drills , or do you all prefer to strip the screw heads !
How do you pull ii off
The top and the bottom on the inside of the knob (indoor side of the knob) are not identical …I don’t know which way it is supposed to sit, obviously because it just locked myself in the bathroom, twice! When I look at the inside of knob (again the inside part of the knob) it has these slots with tabs coming out . The top or bottom, which is what I can’t discern, has one (horizontal) and the bottom has three (2 horizontal 1 vertical) . I guess this makes no sense. What other reason would I lock myself in the bathroom ? 😩😩😩
anyone else having difficulty with those to darn screws? why would they put them there, instead of at the top or bottom?
My screws seem to not fit . This the second on I got
Why when I install a door knob the lock is horizontal and the unlock is vertical?? Very flustered!!
Ah good point - I have the same, not that I was paying attention. Not sure if it's fixable
I know this was three years ago but thank you! This helped me a lot instead of me asking my grandpop to do it for me!
No problem! Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
