......why put new crappy stuff on . No updating for me ! I'm renovating my old farmhouse . We saved the doors and knobs . They are quality , not junk li,e they make today . Sargent 6 line locking knobs are very difficult to pick . They don't wear out like junky new ones . My inside has them and the old " real " doors . It would take criminals a long time to break into my outer doors and the locking indoors type , is nigh invincible ! I'll take old thing over new any day......solid construction with real oak !

That is really nice, I wish all knobs were made like this. The non visible screws are a nice touch.

Without your video, I would have given up because the plate only partially came off, and of course there were no visible screws! I kept trying and found them. In the end I got two of those ancient, worn-out doorknobs replaced tonight. Thank you for the advice and encouragement!

They are Quality. Mine are from 1940 and they all work perfectly . New stuff is junk , that can get picked easily . Not the old Sargent line 6 knobs . Wife said save doors during renovating my old farmhouse . Carpenter wanted to do all preying doors , made of wood particles , and not real wood . Quality for my family . 3 Carpenter have quit , excuse they don't know that new doesn't mean better !

My door knobs look very much like the one in your video. They are however, interior knobs and the knobs on both sides are the same in appearance. I don't have the tabs you show in your video and have no idea how to remove that knob in order to install the newer ones I bought recently. If you have any idea of how I can remove these knobs I'd appreciate any feedback you can send me.

Thank you for showing how you did this. I had to replace an old 70's door knob because evicted tenants broke the matching knobs. Mine had a button to get knob off, but the plate needed to be snapped off with a small pry bar.

I found the notch but pushing a screwdriver in there didn't make the knob pop off. It left a pretty big gash in the wood, though.
