[@edcody4947]

I’m 75 and never installed a doorknob. I’m a hero around here! Great video.

[@JohnDoe-12]

Hahahaha made me laugh, keep on trucking, sir!

[@megangoodbeer6249]

I'm 65 and just removed and installed my first doorknob!!! You made it sooo easy. Thank you.

[@85MadeLady]

Thanks I'm a woman , with a truck driver hubby. Had to change a lock and was able to do it watching you!

[@MariaMartinezshin]

Since my dad didn't want to help me change my room's door knob, I did it myself. Thanks for the help!

[@tmoney9539]

Same problem! Great video.

[@lsophial]

Excellent teaching, and video. I paid over 300$ to have change my front door lock, on top of that the man damaged the wooden part, and took about 2 hours to do the work, because the first time he did it wrong. Now I know ho to replace a door knob thanks to you. Thank you

[@isabelbengtson3817]

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.

[@DrAdriano10]

I had 3 malfunctioning doorknobs at home. Saw your video and bam! All three of them work perfectly now. Thanks a bunch.

[@linetterivera8160]

YOU ROCK! My daughter and I just learned how to install a door knob through this video. Thank you so much for helping! I'm so glad! I never wanted to learn and didn't care to until I moved into a house that needed it to be done and didn't have anyone to help me.

[@Bump688]

Thank you for your video. I need to change a lock at the house of an 84 year old to give her more security. Your video has been very helpful. Thank you so much.

[@february41951]

It is hard to get someone to change knobs. I look at your teaching of how to change a knob made it easy. Thank you so much, it was very helpful.

[@jessicaf6986]

Thank you! You made my day! My son wrecked his door knob today and I was clueless! You showed every step!

[@denisedanford7977]

Thank you. Your instructions and demonstration made much more sense than the package directions. I was able to take the old one off and put the new one on in under 30 minutes.

[@bja1012]

So gladI found your video. I was able to change the doorknob myself. Your instruction was very clear. Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!

[@stevegannaway1787]

I loved the pace of this video and the close ups . You are a good teacher. Thank you for this video. Now i have the confidence to change our door knob. We were a little overwhelmed an hour ago.

[@IreneRichard1]

I would like to thank you for this video.We just purchased a house and of course this morning, during the coldest day so far, the outdoor door knob stayed in my hand ! Thank you so much for helping us out with this video. Have yourself a great day !

[@backyardmech]

+Irene Richard Thanks and glad it helped Irene !

[@jlucas1004]

I am so grateful for this tutorial. I am 69 and tyr to do things for myself. This video will make this job a lot easier. Thank you so much!!!

[@edwardbrown1288]

I'm a first time home owner. Your information was invaluable. Thank you kindly...

[@frankaello8858]

After 40 years, the lock on the front door had to be changed. Thank you for your great video.It made the job quite easy.

[@queenray2u155]

Thanks very helpful, I asked my dad for a week to put a lock on my door . Of course never got done🤦🏾‍♀️ did it myself less then 20 min!! Very simple 🔐 thanks to you

[@polleyba]

Thank you! I've been struggling to replace a doorknob and other videos don't go into enough detail. Your advice about orienting the slant on the latch towards the strikeplate was my aha moment. Thank you!

[@LokiRed42]

Thanks for such a thorough video on replacing a locking door knob. It helped me replace a door knob for the 1st time!

[@PhillipJones5350]

Mine had a set screw on the underside of handle. Had to get on here and refresh my memory at 65 and appreciate the advice and photo. Thanks Some do have the underside set screw just so ya'll know. older style door knobs.

[@resourcefulgirl]

Thanks...needed a quick refresher because I haven't done this in over a decade. Now I can enter my home through the door in the garage again!! During the interim I had to locate the keys to my front door because it's never used lol.

[@belvagriffin317]

Great video. You explained everything so well that I can change a doorknob. Thanks for sharing.

[@zadiezee]

Thanks for including how to change the size setting of the latch. Made my day!

[@reaganzogby7950]

Great Installing Door Knobs for Dummies. Patient and clear presentation. Installing is not hard, but there is a sequence to follow which the BackYardMech makes clear.

[@jayc.s.4419]

I did it! Dad was proud and will not let me got to school anymore. just... wow. thanks.

[@backyardmech]

+Jay C.S. Well done Jay :) But don't quit school !

[@joelpoirier8494]

Hey man, thanks for this! I was struggling with an old one. Still had to improvise, but this really helped.

[@ritabierman249]

This was excellent, we r seniors,our painters put back the lock backwards n this showed us how to fix it! Very easy to follow,thank you😀

[@patc7322]

This was an amazing help to an old lady who never thought she change it out using the package instructions. God Bless for posting the step by step instructions. A picture was worth a thousand words!!!

[@un-handyman2162]

Spectacular Video! Clear, simple to understand and thorough! Even I feel confident to swap out the door knob! Thank you.

[@backyardmech]

Thanks Un-handy; I don't believe you're that unhandy !

[@nervala13]

YOU ROCK... I was working on this for two hours.. was ready to use a hack saw... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

[@markpierce3478]

I've never installed a doorknob before and this video was PERFECT! Precisely explained, clear video...easy. Thanks, backyardmech.

[@icns01]

This is what makes KZbin such an invaluable resource! Excellent video! Thank you so much!

[@yvonnenco1]

Thank you so much for making this project seem simple. I will be installing a new door knob myself tomorrow!

[@ameliabryan9301]

WOW! Excellent video and instructions. Clear and complete and hopefully making me successful upon my first try to change a door knob. Pray for me..lol THANK so much

[@anngilchrist3917]

Thanks! Can't wait to put my new door knob on myself! You made it look very simple and easy to understand. Just the way I need it!

[@CasualCOD]

Thank you so much for showing me this it helped so much. I have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to dislike this video, but shame on them.

[@shellywaite5968]

Thank you so much for this video. I am on my own I have changed them before but not for a long time. The instructions were not clear at all. I had a really hard time getting the screws lined up the inside. What I did was take a pencil and mark where it should be. Your video is really good I thank you very much.

[@campydeweysmommy5078]

Fantastic. The directions I had seemed complicated, u made it look so easy. Thank you!

[@yesiownfrodo]

Thank you. No one would tell me how, I appreciate this. Great job.

[@PastorMarionGillies]

Great video. I am about to go do it. I remember how I had to pay the carpenter to put each lock on each door. I even called him years later when a lock went bad. No more though. You made this look soooo easy. I know I can do it too. Thanks.

[@mayraparedes2025]

Since my husband refuses to do this, I am going to do it with your help. Wish me luck.

[@darthvader1402]

Thanks for posting this video. It seems to be easy to do and I have one to install shortly. I had already taken the old one out and just wanted to double check before installing the new one.

[@816Jerry]

[@robertablack786]

I really appreciated your "learners" pace. Thank You!

[@kathrynbarr4110]

Thanks for this. You've assumed that I have no previous knowledge which is exactly correct. I now feel confident and am heading out to purchase a new door knob.

[@hantayowin]

Canadian... Love to listen to him talk. Unfortunately, neither of my knobs have visible screws, so I'm still at a loss.

[@kvsrkrishnan]

How did you workaround this? I have the same problem

[@itsjustsquishy768]

My first time ever changing a door knob by myself! Thank you

[@louiedemetriou1474]

Thanks for sharing knowledgeable tutorial on removing old door knob and installing new.

[@backyardmech]

And thanks for commenting Louie

[@mela6022]

Great instructions - thank you from nearly clueless DIY ladies! Excellent extra helpful details and tips.

Just changed 6 interior knobs. Thanks to you!

The soil of a man's heart is stonier, Louis. A man grows what he can, and he tends it. 'Cause what you buy, is what you own. And what you own... always comes home to you.

+Susana Guzman did it work?

[@sg2208]

+Tara Lines yes!!! it worked perfectly. :)

[@backyardmech]

+Susana Guzman Well done Susana !

[@socialitesue]

Thank you so much for this video. Just changed the door knob on my front door and your instructions were so helpful!

[@sherrybateman7306]

Very informative and helpful. It really was a great video on teaching us DIYers on how to replace the door knob in a clear and concise way. Thanks!

[@MultiSandy84]

Found it very helpful and timing is also good. Always good to learn something new. Thanks for the easy instructions.

[@joannastryker1151]

Thanks for this, I was fighting with replacement, learned some good tips.

[@barbvolpe4607]

excellent explanation and camera angles for great viewing. thank you

[@TeenaHawkins]

I am having problems lining the screws up, but i wont let it beat me lol, thanks for your calm explanation, I was having trouble because the square centre pin was pushed in a bit so it wasn't catching on the inside door knob. Great video :)

[@TeenaHawkins]

+Teena Hawkins I just installed my second one and it was much easier, although with both doors I had to use sandpaper on a length of curtain rod to make the hole a little bigger to fit the new mechanism in, even though they were the same size lol.

[@MegaAluchi]

now I can go ahead and change the knob in my bedroom, with a knob that has a key on one side. I only find that the two screws on the knob base are hard to catch with a screw driver. Thanks great video really.

[@MsTamika766]

Great! This comes in handy!! I’ll be painting my doors and changing the knobs to bronze.

[@G2LucyLu]

Awesome video! Thanks for taking your time to show things step by step! I'm fully confident I'm ready to start my project!

[@nicktrue7915]

His accent is a mixture of Canadian, and Irish. Interesting. Oh, and good video for doorknob replacement as well.

[@iriswigle]

Big thank and a big hug from Toronto Canada

[@natareznik5832]

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.

[@louisewebb4980]

I already know what to do Belinda. Thank you!! 👍 Good looking out.

[@parrishgirl7354]

Thank you. I'm about to install my first doorknob. I hope it goes as easily as you make it seem.

[@lynnneuroth7900]

Thank you. This is truly an idiot proof I was able to change both my door knobs with no difficulty after watching this.

[@jennymitchell6220]

Thank you. Very clear! I have never changed a lock before and needed to learn how.

[@jamesnitzberg8405]

Great video, very detail oriented, covers much of the things that always make a simple repair slightly more complex. Thank you!!

[@HandleKingHardware]

Look at the state of that door furniture before you removed it. Helpful video, thanks

[@johnsdaman2012]

Thanks for the video. After i watched this video and tried it, i started getting hang of it and I changed all the door handles in my house :D

[@backyardmech]

Well done Johnny !

[@oradba9iCanada]

Super clear instructions and excellent video. A big thank you!

[@princessxxsarahxx1]

Great tutorial, I got it the first time and had no clue what I was doing as i have never done this before. Thanks :)

[@ColeWithAGoal]

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 KZbin wins again. :P Thanks for the in depth tutorial!

[@backyardmech]

+Cole Azevedo You're welcome Cole - the mechanism extending out is one of those 'gotcha's' if you don'tnow about it !

[@CatherineMabel]

Very good video! Very detailed and explanatory. Next step, changing my own door knob :)

[@rainasingleton473]

Great video.I now think that i can do this myself its worth a try.Can't get any help these days.

[@backyardmech]

Good luck with the job & thanks for commenting Raina

[@jacarter79]

Thanks for the video. I have one that the striker is stuck and wouldn't release by turning the knob. Know I know this is a relatively easy project and don't need to hire someone. Will post how the job goes. Again, thanks for the tutorial.

[@seeingdoublethepodcast7]

Thanks man great video need to change a knob on one of my doors around the house an this couldn't have been more perfect 🙂!!!

[@babyford64]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the latch settings!

[@tomato8313]

Thanks for posting this. I have two carpenters in my house and guess who's changing the door knob? not any of the carpenters

[@kristinanoall]

Very thorough and easy to understand! I feel more confident about changing out all the old, ugly doorknobs in my house now. Thanks so much!

[@northseabrent]

Love the Canadian accent, you sound like Relic from the Beach Combers.

[@zeero62]

He said "washroom" !

[@photommy1509]

I am not a handyman, but you made me feel like I am. Soooo easy. Thanks. :)

[@ToasterCatMaggie]

You're a great teacher. Thank you!

[@nomadsworlds8404]

Thank you so much,i had the part that goes into the other side of the door screwed in opposite,watched this video and got it right.

[@resecurelatch]

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.

[@mariahp421]

thanks a lot! my first time installing a doorknob, and this video showed me how to do it hahaha
