      @@DIYwithWayneMr. Wayne. I did two projects. It took me like 30 minutes to do the side door lock. I also bought the kwikset smart-key lock. That was easy too. Then I tackled the front door lock. That took me like an hour? I had to fix some of the holes on the door trim for the strike plate. Whomever put the strike plates originally didn't know what they were doing. But I figured it out. I couldn't believe I did this on my own. My husband was impressed He was like "How did you do this?" I showed him your video. He said "really?" I said... "yes, I channeled Wayne the entire time". 😉🤣

    “Right quick…” it was like having my Dad with me to put my mind at ease. Something about seeing that last step that made the directions “click” (avoid the temptation to unscrew the long screws as they are sold/packaged in-place right where they need to be)…
    Bought the Kwikset model for that DIY rekeying feature & it was a snap, too. Got my condo’s balcony storage room keyed to my front door, one key for both doors. And no locksmith fees!! 🎉 Thanks Wayne (& Izzy). 💪🔑😊

Looked a several videos and something was missing. Saw your video about half an hour ago and presto its on. The other videos did not mention the twisting to get the screws to properly align. Thank you once again. God bless you. Peace.

    Wow! I bought this EXACT Smartkey Kwikset lockset. I ALWAYS read the directions and prep before hand. But I just wasted 30 minutes and embarrassed the heck out of myself in front of the whole family. The directions were nonsensical- ''remove plates'' (NO!), and included a ''drive in collar'' that was pointless (but if used and left in place will cause alignment problems). Meanwhile, the AC is going out and mosquitoes are coming in! I felt like the whole family was watching my defeat. I threw the blasted directions in the trash and watched your video from beginning to end. Then I did the job in about 8-10 minutes (demo. to family and cleanup included). Good heavens! It's a nice, solid lockset, and I get that Kwikset ''made it simple'' by designing it so that the through bolts can be left in place- but without your video, I'd have blown a gasket! Sending you endless thanks and gratitude for saving my pride. Liked and subbed!

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I understand your frustration with the directions. I have installed about a dozen of these and the first one I installed was a real pain trying to understand the instructions. Good job and thank you for visiting. We hope you have a great day and enjoy your new lock.

      ​@meetontheledge1380 I'm guessing your family admired you.
      More embarrassing, I hired a handyman to change 3 door knobs. Took him half a day. And one of them never held.
      I'm using this installation video to fix what he botched.
      But the door knob is wider so I'm not sure that it will work with a straight screwdriver. I came on to see the video in order to figure out what tool I needed to get around the doorknob.
      I still don't know!😅

    Great video! Very helpful. I'm about to install my second one today. When installing the first one, I had trouble with those long screws. My own fault! I removed those screws, even though the instructions clearly said NOT to remove them! I couldn't figure out the concept from their instructions. Thankfully, I did manage to get the thing installed, but with a lot of frustration! Now that I SEE how this mechanism (ingenious!) works, it makes sense and I feel confident that the door knob installation today will be a piece of cake! Thanks!!!

    Very good video.
    The one I installed today did not come out of the package as shown. My screws were in a sealed plastic bag. The style of knob I used seems shorter than the demo one. A locksmith installed the original. I noticed one screw was somewhat angled . The heads were worn.
    The new screws I hand placed, but one was hard to turn because it is too close to the round knob.
    I also noticed it was going in at an angle and I wore down the top. The driver kept rubbing the knob. I removed it so I can get a new screw and try again. The set is secure and functions well with one screw, but it was made for 2. This knob took up a lot of my time, moreso than any other knob I have installed. I should probably return the unit and try another style. Thanks for this video.

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I were you, I think I would return it because of the screw you can't install and tighten. Without both screws, it will get loose over time. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

      Yeah I've watched other videos on installing keyed door knobs and I have installed another brand.

I spent a frustrating hour failing yesterday and fortunately found your video today. Very helpful. Thanks

      When installing the lock and it binds or wont' operate smoothly it is most likely caused by miss alignment. Loosen the screws and try to center the inside and outside parts and retighten the screws. Most of the time this will correct the problem. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most likely the 2 door knobs are misaligned. Loosen the screws and try aligning them better. if the plunger works well then the screws are loose, the problem is a bind with the parts not aligned when the screws are tightened. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

    Thank you so much!!! Your video saved me so much stress. I showed Home Depot worker your video and we could only find one in their store that had the screws preput and able to be pushed thru the other side without removing those screws. Genius idea! The worker at the store had not seen this before and he also wanted one but of course no more.
    Interesting enough is Kwik Set must be doing away with this “easy install “ as we found other ones that were packed in the same box and had the same skew number but when we took those ones out of their boxes they did not have the inner door knob that has the twisted “easy mechanism” where it springs back after easily pushing thru.
    Would you happen to know what the trick will be for me to find more of these that are just like this set up in your video?
    Thank you again.

    Hi Wayne, I just bought a kwikset door knob. The latch part has two very little nubs on the top and bottom of the latch about 1" from the plunger - just as yours has in the video. Those nubs prevent me from putting the plunger all of the way in. Should I just bank it in with a hammer? Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for the video. Unfortunately you skipped over the one piece of info I needed. I installed a knob and the latch will not spring back out when I tighten everything. You described the exact problem and said “if that happens..” and then you did not provide the solution. I would appreciate it if you could advise on how to remedy that issue.

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oops, Sorry I missed that. If the lockset is binding it is because it is not aligned correctly. Loosen the 2 screws and wiggle the door knobs a little. then retighten the screws. It only takes a small amount of not being centered to cause this problem. I hope this helps and thank you for visiting.

      Hello John, Go back to the video and scan forward to about the 6:00 mark. Notice how far the screw heads stick out before I install the inside assembly.

    I was looking for a video that described how these pre-inserted screws work when you twist on the other knob that goes on to them. I Followed the directions very closely but the knob still disengages at times when you turn the knob. I don’t like this design. I’d rather have screws that you could screw in and tighten rather than having to turn the knob to make them catch and then screw them in. I noticed that the heads of the screws are kind of small and that is easy for the door knob to slide off of them. Have you experienced the same thing or am I doing it wrong?

    • @DIYwithWayne
      @DIYwithWayne  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most locks have 2 screws on the inside that secure the lock parts together. If you don't have this, they may be hidden behind a cover. You can take the door off it's hinges but that may not help. On most locks, the only screws on the edge of the door secure the plunger that goes into the striker plate. Removing this alone will not allow the lock to be removed. Good luck with your project and have a great day.
