Haha!!…Thanks man!, my wife was impressed when I showed her how easy I replaced the door knobs!, she certainly thought I had done that many times in the past!, you made me look like a pro!!… I love ❤️ TH-cam university
First ever time, removing and installing a new door handle. Neighbourhood has been having break-ins and our old door knob just wasn’t cutting it because it couldn’t lock. Thanks to Bill now I actually feel safe in my own home again
Lifesaver! Clear video & straight to the point instructions. What more do you want? Even gives a pointer on what type of door handle is easier for the next person to replace/fix. Absolute legend.
Funny enough I "disappeared" from said employer cause we ran out of jobs. Hm.... Ok how are we knee deep in jobs and all a sudden everyone is off for 3 weeks. Yeah nah I quit. I'll work at McDonald's at least it's steady
thanks, I couldn't figure out how to get mine off, never seen one before with no visible screws. Good job. Once again proving how powerful TH-cam is as the go to DIY library.
Changed all of my doorknobs this weekend using a flathead 🤦🏾 (drill has been ordered). So I get to the only doorknob like this one & was confused. 😂 I googled "how to...) & found your video then & expeditiously changed it. 👍🏾 #singleladyhomeowner I do a lot of my own repairs so thanks for sharing.
Thank you; of all the videos I watched, yours came up on top and saved my day because I am a female with no clue how I was going to remove the lock. I had almost resigned myself to calling a home improvement guy (which I certainly cannot afford to do at this time) when I came across your video that showed me exactly what to do; the knobs are off at last! Thank you so much!!!
This is exactly the video I was looking for to replace my old locks. Big thumps up for making this video to help the DIY community unaware of this trick :)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! After half an hour of frustration, I ran into your video, and water in the desert does not even begin to describe the relief, I was able to remove the handle in three minutes after that. Advice: see the entire video and then get to work. Thanks again.
Thank you so much. Took a while to find this clip but well worth it . I didn't know if I was going to break something but watching this assured me of the right action to get the knob off. Enabled me to spray lubricant into the mechanism therefore no need to replace the lock. Bunnings should create a library of these clips
Saved me a LOT of trouble with this video. Got locked in my own room - the latch mechanism got disconnected from the handle and its like 2 in the morning so I can't really call anyone for assistance. Your instructions helped me take the handle apart, and then I realigned it with the latch when putting it back together! Thanks so much!
Awesome quick and straight to the point. I love it when I’m in a hurry and I come check out a “how to” video and their quick to the point. Thank you partner
Thanks Bill. This worked just as you said, enabling me to remove a failed bedroom door knob mech. I'm off to the hardware store now to buy a replacement. Without your video advise my next move would have been to use an angle grinder (the mech is stuffed anyway) but your way is so much more civilized. Cheers.
Thank you so much for helping me first remove the broken knob and then showing me how to replace it!! It was as easy as you described and showed. You're a God send! Thank you so very much!
Thanks Bill! Never did a door knob of this style before.... Boy was that pin seized in my job. Had to pull like a mother to pop the knob off but I got it done with your help..... Thanks again!
Thanks Bill. I moved into a home with an old door handle like the one in your video. I wanted to change it and was stumped on how to do it before I watched your video. Many thanks!
Had a door knob break and have never done any DIY as I'm young. Took me 3 hours to get the 2 hidden screws out but nothing budged. Watching this took me away from the brink of insanity 😭
Thanks heaps, Bill! The 50 year old pin didn't want to co-operate. But your video showed me that I was on the right track. And with one of the comments, that it was safe to pull the knob much harder. Phew ! It worked. I found myself singing and feeling like Superman 🤣 Thank you Bill.
I'm facing the same type of knob and the door is shut and I can't open it. The side that I can access is actually the side without the screws, any idea how I can remove the knob on this case?
@@francisferdzz I myself couldn’t do it so I had to wait until my dad got home. He somehow jammed a butter knife into the crack of the door(which was tiny btw) and he got it open. It does damage it a bit tho. I would say it’s better than being locked out.
Thank you for this! So helpful and easy to follow. After asking my husband to change door knobs for months,and him not doing it. Following this I was able to do it myself 😁
What the bloody hell is wrong with blokes that won't fix up stuff for their darlings. These dickheads give me the shits. You don't have to be OCD, but c'mon, guys, get on the program. The girls aren't useless, but some stuff you've got to take care of for them.
This was so helpful, thank you!!! I installed our handle over 10 years ago and had no recollection of how the cover plate was attached and how to take it off to get to the mounting screws.
Thank you. My doorknob was stuck for two days and I had to leave my room through the balcony. Your video and one my my old membership cards helped me open that damn door.
Thanks Bill for you informative video. Yours is the first that came up in my search. I was unsure how to remove a door knob with no visible screws. Your short video helped me solve a problem. Thanks again mate. This is one reason why I like TH-cam, so much helpful knowledge on here.
Ohhhh, my GOODNESS, All this time!!🙄 We FINALLY GOT IT OFF!! It's been years playing around with this old doorknob. 😐 Thank you so much for sharing this 😀🌼
Thank you. Your video made it simple to get the lock out. I was stressing wondering what the.... I realise the pin is on one side not both locks. Thanks for helping .
Thank you so much! I didn’t actually need to to replace my door knob but the lock was stuck so I just removed the interior door knob and unstuck the lock!. Voila! Door knob works perfectly well now!
Thank you for the video. What is the pin you are looking to depress to release the door knob is rusted? The handle/knob set I am looking to replace is on an outside gate and all components are rusted and the screws are located behind a plate. Any suggesting? Thank you in advance
Thank you so much for this!! I nearly gave up trying to change my door knob after remodeling my bathroom because there were no instructions on how to remove this kind of knob. It was so easy once you explained finding the hidden latch. I am so grateful!!!
Nice to find this as my wife was locked in the bedroom and I had to climb onto the garage roof to get in through the balcony and remove the broken doorknob!
Thank you very much, this was a lifesaver. It was massively satisfying to learn I just needed to pry that plate off the handle after getting the pin off.
After watching hundreds of videos I took a break and was laughing at fb videos then I decided to look for one last video and came across this one…. And walah!!!!! IT WORKED !!! I can finally take a shower after almost 3 hours 😫🤣🤣🤣
Thanks a lot maaanh.. I've started working at a new place and had trouble with the door in my new accomodation. Since I don't know anyone here, I was kinda worried.. Your video is a lifesaver 💟.
Fantastic vid mate. Replaced a few of these at first thinking I had to force or cut the old one off. Or spend $$$ on locksmith. $33 a piece (keyed) at Bunnings and did my own in no time. Thanks very much
I've worked on houses, installed a BUNCH of doorknobs (uninstalled a bunch, too) and never seen one of these damned things!!! This one had no "hole" it was a perfectly flush, basically invisible button. Had to take a super bright light and go around and around with screwdriver to find it.. thanks to your video!!!
Very helpful . Outside door had rusted and blown up so handle wouldn't budge and screws were stripped so I had to prize it off. Managed to do so with minimal damage- sanding will fix it.
Thanks for this video, had to watch a couple of times but was very helpful. I live in a new house in Mexico and none of the door knobs have visible screws.

Man this just saved me butt. Thought I was going to have to jigsaw cut the dang thing off. Thanks man!
Funny enough I "disappeared" from said employer cause we ran out of jobs. Hm.... Ok how are we knee deep in jobs and all a sudden everyone is off for 3 weeks. Yeah nah I quit. I'll work at McDonald's at least it's steady
Lol I'm wondering why I never thought of a jigsaw. My first thought was hammer lol
cut it off bro...
if your missis isnt usin it cut it off
@@yavuzabdioglu2642 that got dark 😂
@@al-dorifto1631 if I didn't need the door to stay in good shape yep hammer. Had to reuse multiple doors

But what if there is no little tab to put your flat head screw driver to get the plate off? On the brink
Try unscrewing it counter clockwise@@rw9019
Thanks heaps, Bill!

yeah, got it, ;( ;)
Awesome vid. Got my troublesome doorknob fixed all by myself. This vid is very helpful.

Thanks Bill. Mine had a slot instead of a pin. I pressed it in with a screwdriver and knobs came off. Thanks for the help
Thank you so much, without this video i would've been stuck in my room for at least an hour

Imagine if you didnt have a phone 💀
Lmao I got stuck in my bathroom for two hours and we had to break our handle

This video saved my day, just got locked in my bedroom with the door knob not working, thanks to this video, was able to completely open the lock.

Quick and easy, clear instructions, 10/10 would recommend the video to a friend.
I can't thank you enough. Managed to change an old set of doorknob of mine, with a new one, again cheers , mate.
No problem 👍
Thank you, Sir. I was tired of playing with that darn pin. Now I feel like an idiot but thank you. I can finally fix my door knob.
Watched other videos but did not resolve my issue. This video was exactly what I needed. Thanks.

Good morning. Wanted to give you a Big thanks. Last night we got locked in. We were able to dismantle the lock thanks to your video. Thanks 👍

I'm on my 9th grade and I have decided to steal at the last day of school my math class's door handle. Thx for helping me on my mission
Thanks i was able to fix my partners doorknob.. tis was a great help.. keep on making more DIY videos

this is perfect!! i have a doorknob like this and i want to change it, this video is simple yet informative and very helpful!!
you make it look so easy man. now the reality of actually doing it myself with all hand tools. Hope it won't take me all day. 10 mins is all I got.
Great video. Thank you! Before watching this I could not figure how to expose the screws
Thanks a lot, this video saved me a lot of messing around
You saved me man! I was trapped in my room and had to use alternative tools to disassemble this freaking knob. Thanks!

What would I do without your video?... Stared at it for an hour and took the new knob back! 😂 Thanks!
Thank you very much, this was a lifesaver. It was massively satisfying to learn I just needed to pry that plate off the handle after getting the pin off.
I have a door knob like that was wondering to get it off to replace it.
Thanks a lot
Ha! Last time I encountered a knob like that, I grabbed my sawzall! Shoulda looked on TH-cam. Thanks man!
Amazing! Thanks for having the will and action to help others, may God's blessing always be upon you and your family.
