Lost my amazing husband approximately 1 year ago and have had to learn to do things I never knew to do. Thank you for your excellent video. Took me two hours but I did it with a ton of prayer and a few expletives 😉 I DID IT!!

[@emyhR]

Sorry for your loss. And congrats on a job well done

[@OmANnIe]

So proud of you. I totally understand how intimidating it can be to try and learn how to do things like this on our own.

[@midnitemoon577]

@@OmANnIe Hi Annie! Well, so far I went to the hardware store and the staff at Ace was great. They showed me which doorknob set to buy and told me how to do it. They were male & encouraged me. They said girls can do this too, no problem! I haven't done it yet but will this week.

[@keeganstewart3916]

Thank you for this awesome video. The printed instructions are usually not clear. I had to change the deadbolt set when the lock on the knob was sticking and not working consistently.

[@marilynjackson5752]

Your calm explanation makes me think I can do this.

[@lori8553]

Thank you. You made that look easy. The issue I’m having is that the door attachment is not the same size. I’m guessing I need to chisel the wood to make it fit. Got any tips for me on that? Thanks again I think I can do this.

Looks like you can see through wood cause I could not get the screws on the lower handle to align. And I also tried the long setting.

I need 2 do this on 3 of my doors! Thx :-)

[@andyram2595]

So I didn’t pressed in when I switch my doorknob is this why when I locked my door it’s horizontal and when it’s open it’s vertical ???

[@miata350]

You should upgrade those short little strike plate screws with some 3" screws that reach the door frame.

[@mvann5]

Thank you, think I can follow this! However, last time someone tried to do this for me, the lock was upside down. I now have a tool you use somehow to move keyhole around... how do you do that? thank you.

[@greg7281]

Is there a trick to lining up the bolts on the door knob

Will it work on a bedroom door?

Helpful

[@sappho7278]

does it come with new keys?

[@deadrabitsps3212]

Thanks

[@mrmicro22]

Great! Might as well lubricate with a dry graphite before final assembly..

[@mairepcod4063]

Thanks,

[@1teodorico]

The knob/locking portion came off right away, but the old deadbolt where the key goes with the spoke that goes into the hole wouldn't separate from the mechanism or the door. I think it's just old and stuck and if I whack it with a hammer it should come out, but I was wondering if that sound right before I hit anything. Can someone help?

[@lianecornils6603]

Thank You

[@chrisrees7054]

If you are really lazy, you can buy another house 😅

[@Fabester71]

I always use longer screws than what comes in the set.

[@michaelguzman4136]

I’m guessing the knobs and deadbolts come with a key?

[@kieranbricker3278]

You actually should have used that new deadbolt plate with the 4 screws 2 regular screws and 2 long security screws

[@barbarasaunders2160]

My doorknob lock seems upside down from the deadbolt lock but it doesn’t fit if I try to do it the other way. Now instead of putting the key in the deadbolt and straight to the doorknob, I have to turn the key upside down🤷🏾‍♀️

[@youtubingbabs]

Is this video by Mark Ruffalo? Sounds like him. Lol

[@Kennistry]

You perfectly went over how to extend and what nails but failed to explain nor show how it’s done to extend the other piece. Now I’m stuck reading the manual trying to make sense with a hole in my door

[@sideswipelucas4941]

Be honest, who came up here to see how to replace your own door knob cuz you didn’t know how to. 🙋🏽‍♂️

[@Lytyrs2go]

We are unable to remove the lock after removing the front and back knobs. The lock spins in place, but does not slide out. It’s the Defiant door lock and deadbolt.

[@yargeht]

If the new knob was put into an ass (mine) for a period of 5 hours is it still okay to use as a normal door knob?

[@Lonewolf-ui5bu]

Well looks like I know what I'm doing tomorrow

[@ericatalk4441]

This video made me way too confident lol. My knob is in the right place but it’s not locking. Omg help me 😔😔😔
