That was very helpful to me. Mine just fell off one day after I bought my house. Thanks for the warning about which one to buy. I didn’t pay attention, now I will make sure to buy the right one and that they are not all the same.

Amazing. Just the perfect video for me -- same lock and lost my keys like you. YOu did a great job of explaining and pointing out the things to watch out for.

I watched this video just to figure out how to get that fastener back on and you didn’t show it 😅 but thank you for asking folks to comment with advice! I’ll try the socket and hammer technique, and report back later today!

Place the retaining washer in the throat of a pair of electrian's pliers to hold it. Place the washer over the end of the rod and strike the pliers with a hammer to drive the washer on evenly until the pliers won't go any further. Use a hammer and flat tip screwdriver to drive the washer flush with the handle base. I used a pair of side cutters to cut off the old washer if you have a new one. The entire process took less than 10 minutes.

You also need to mention that the sleeves for the two fastener screws are 1-1/2" apart. My old garage door, the sleeves were 1-13/16 apart. I couldn't find one that fit my holes drilled 1-13/16" apart so I needed to redrill holes 1-1/2" apart and fill the old holes.

Thanks for pointing this out, someone else may have the same issue. How did you fill the old holes?

I started the beating the clip with hammer and a deep well socket and finished with a hammer on a crescent wrench. Took less than a minute.

That seems to be the way to do it. Thanks for your feedback! 👍🏼

grab a socket that fits the back of the lock and hammer that shit in!!!!!!

I had tried using a socket but it wasn’t working, thought I might damage the door. But maybe that’s the way to do it. Another thought was to use a couple channel locks or vice grips on each side and press it on. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks I think this is what I need and it looks like I could do it too.

Getting it back on is terrible. I will try the hammer and socket technique. Thanks

Cover it with a socket and give it a good tap

deep well socket and a hammer will put that fastener on in a split second
