Of all the seemingly mandatory Australian content creators KZbin requires if they’re going to promote a door handle replacement video… this guy is my favorite.

Thanks for watching

[@marilynrey246]

I watched 5 of these videos and this was the only one I could follow step-by-step. Thank you!

[@RobertDIY]

You are welcome. Please like, share, and subscribe. ;)

[@teaoranges6100]

Thank you! Unfortunately the face plate did not just slide off like your's did, so I had to pry it off by sliding a pointy metal nail file between the plate and the base where the screws are. After 20 minutes it came off and I was able to access the screws. Thanks again. Home repair stores are closed right now and so thankful I can lock my back door tonight. You are a lifesaver!

[@RobertDIY]

+Tea& Oranges nice, thanks for watching.

Thank you for this video, I have a handle on my garage door that needs fixing so I'm going to give it a try myself.

[@RobertDIY]

Awesome

One of your viewers mentioned that if you're having troubles with the door lock, it is better to replace it so you don't get locked out. Following your advice, I watched your video, went to the store, bought a new knob assembly, and replaced the old knob. Door works like a champ. Thanks man, for the confidence, and the knowledge.

[@fortunebillmencke]

Thanks Robert. Mine had the handle with the set screw that needed the Allen wrench and while I was at it I tightened the whole thing up too Great video Thanks again

Thank you... I did my repair

[@KevinJingQiu]

Thanks.

[@4truth69]

When turning the handle does not move the latch in or out. Guess it’s time for a new door knob. I wonder if the new one can be keyed to all the other door knobs or must I buy all new knobs ?

[@RobertDIY]

same brand should rekey. most hardware stores will do that for you if you have the key with you when you purchase the lock.

[@abdullahnutorious1990]

Great

hello so I got the handle off its an exterior door and the screw I can't get to its loose but too far in? PLEASE HELP

[@RobertDIY]

bring it by.

[@robinb1095]

@@RobertDIY where are you

[@robinb1095]

@@RobertDIY hello do you think if I got something magnetic I could get the screw? also if I remove the other screw will I be able to do it that way? 🙂 🙃 I know I'm asking a lot really need the help. thanks

[@Artistram3d1]

Great video. We have a similar door handle in the laundry room that leads into the garage. It doesn't feel broken or loose, but it doesn't open the door when you pull up or down on the handle. We have to lift up and then down on the handle to open it. Is it indeed broken, or is it fixable? Thank you very much for your time and expertise!

[@RobertDIY]

Artistram3d1 I would probably replace it before someone gets locked out.

[@Artistram3d1]

Robert DIY Thank you for the quick reply. I'll go ahead and replace it.

[@Artistram3d1]

Robert, before replacing the door handle, I thought I would try some WD40 on it. Sure enough, it worked. Maybe you could pass on the info in the event someone else has the same problem. I really appreciate your channel and will keep it at the very top of my play lists. God bless you.

[@RobertDIY]

You to, thanks for sharing.

[@RobertDIY]

You to, thanks for sharing.

[@ilanaadler3387]

can you put the handle on in a video? That was the one part I needed help with! Mine keeps slipping on and off!

[@RobertDIY]

+Ilana Adler ouch!

[@erase24paranormal]

ilana, did you find the solution? I have the same problem!

[@ahmadrashid3283]

hey i just broke my inside door piece that open it so when u should leave out what should i do next

[@RobertDIY]

+Ahmad Rashid I would replace the knob with a new one.

[@dmitche06]

My door knob has a broken return spring, so when you jiggle the handle after its been locked, it will unlock and open on its own...how do i fix a broken return spring?

[@RobertDIY]

+dmitche06 Replace the knob.

[@jwc4226]

I have a similar knob with that type of handle; the mechanism still moves the bolt but it feels loose like a or the spring inside loosened up....I have others in the house that feel stiffer/firmer....any ideas anyone?

[@RobertDIY]

What are you trying to do?

[@normanfacy]

sweet just needed to make sure of the hidden clip.

[@RobertDIY]

+normanfacy thanks for watching.

[@MinecraftN3rd]

how much would it cost to buy a whole new handle

[@RobertDIY]

Between $15 and $40. But you will still have to secure it so why waste the money.

[@MinecraftN3rd]

ok, could u send me ur email? cus I recently broke my door and I wanted to send u a picture to see if I can replace it or to buy a whole new door

[@RobertDIY]

My e-mail and other contact info is on my website.

[@ginrezis]

This was very informative, but nothing happens when I press a pin into the release clip (nothing larger will fit) - the handle still won't move. I'm really struggling here 😅😅😅

[@RobertDIY]

ouch
