    I was presented with a situation that requires me to replace the outside door knobs. I had a husband who was so very handy. I have never replaced a door knob and now after watching this video, I feel that I can do it myself. Thank you for the small hints that make all the difference.

  • @natareznik5832
    @natareznik5832 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    for those who care about the looks : choose a knob with a bigger rosette (the round metal part that covers the hole in the door) than the one that you remove to avoid exposing the round scratches the previous knob inevitably leaves like you can see in this very helpful video tutorial. sometimes rosettes can be sold separately.

  • @resecurelatch
    @resecurelatch 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For anyone having an issue with their door latch or deadbolt, property maintenance or DYiers, there is a new solution that replaces Glue, Sticks, Puddy, or that ugly metal sleeve that goes over your door. ReSecure Latch sits INSIDE the door bore hole, alongside the latch, and the supplied screws thread into it. Works with many of the top brands like Kwikset, Defiant, Yale, and others. After watching the many videos Funny Carpenter has on DYi repairs, come check out how it works. Hopefully one day to have in inside box stores like Depot and Lowes.

    I wish I had seen this video earlier when I tried replacing the door knob at my house. Tried a new doorknob I bought and it was too short, and I had no idea it could extend out so I ended up returning it to the store. Plus the employee there didn't mention anything about it being adjustable...I guess TH-cam wins again. :P
