5:35 is when the instruction starts on how to fix the door knob.

I don’t have an issue with the glass, but the screws always loosen, even replacement screws and spindle. Such a pain to constantly have to tighten them.

Thank you. You gave me the confidence I needed to achieve my goal and replacing these old 1930 1920 door handles. They are so well-built and have hidden jewels and I'm like locking mechanism that I have never seen before.

Jason is a wealth of locksmith knowledge. You'd be a master if you could apprentice with him!

I fixed a lot of those loose knobs with Super Glue. Clean the area with contact cleaner first. I blow it out with compressed air first. Spray a heavy amount around the joint let it sit a few minutes, blow it out again. Then run a bead of super glue around the knob. Works for me. I love saving those old locks and knobs..

Thank you so much. (: Thank you for the warnings. Most likely saved me and my adult son surgery on our hands. We have that exact problem with a tenancy and property manager is ignoring the issue. Been knowing about it for about six months. Summer humidity made it worse as the door swelled. I came in here to see if I could possibly fix it. I know when to admit I'm in over my head. In over my head. Blessings to you.

I don't have glass knobs, but I'm gonna watch anyway.

Thanks for this. Have a classic knob on a pantry door and the outside had twisted off. You showed me how to swap it around from inside out and I am now a hero, lol

I switched the door knobs until I get a new unit. Thank you for the tip.

I have a mix of old and new glass knobs in my house, so I have the issues that BOTH come with. Fortunately, I have solutions to both. The older ones, yeah you can use epoxies, but they will likely fail after heavy use. I use thermoplastic beads molded into a tiny rope just long enough to wrap around the glass neck. While its malleable, push it as far into the gap between the neck and the crimp. The stuff cools and sets pretty quickly, so if ur new to this stuff I recommend playing around with it to get a good feel for the timing. It's amazing material, you can reheat it over and over again! With newer ones the set screw just will not stay set. Mark a line about 3/4 up the main screw shaft, then mark a dot HALF way to that line. Use a standard brass 3/16" drill bit and drill a shallow hole where that half way dot is. It doesnt need to be deep, just enough to get the tip of that set screw to sit tight. Then I use blue Permatex threadlock to really get that set screw good and tight. Be careful not to strip the head of the set screw with ur screwdriver. Its VERY important to use the correct size Phillips head on it. When installing back into ur door, face the screw sideways away from the door jam so you can get that screwdriver on it without the door interfering with the tightening stroke.

I have the opportunity to get a few of these in great shape, so it's good to know this is a possibility! Thanks for the knowledge :)

Unfortunately had to throw the glass doorknob on one of my doors out. It was just stripped out beyond any type of repair. But this did help with my other doorknobs around the house

How do you fix the problem

I have some of those white ones from the 1800s

I have that same issue with one of the knobs it's a purple one I usually grab it from the brass so I dont keep on loosening it more the home where I currently live was build in 1930s I use the purple knob on a closet door it's from the company called penn

Yes that one why twisted the lock bathroom old fashioned 1950

have you tried a micro lathe to tighten the collar on the handle. they would have certainly used a turning operation originally

Cool stuff Jason. I love learning from your channel. You give very practical and knowledgeable information and Doo dad's lol... Keep it coming!

Do you have a video on how and what is needed to replace interior doors with vintage brass and glass knobs?

How can you clean the paint off the glass knobs

Omg! I do! Thank you very much.

Nothing worse than a loose knob. Great video and tips mate. #lockforce 👍🤘🖖🍻

Of course, the older ones aren't made out of Chinesium!

Any idea how to remove rust from underneath the crystal knob?

I just found your channel and its very interesting and informative:) ive watched a few videos from over the yesrs... Do you think at some point you could invest in earpiece mic or a mic for your shirt? Sometimes when you look away from the camera, its hard to hear and i have to rewind.

I have tried to remove an antique glass doorknob, and even had friend try to see if they could figure it out with no avail. Paint removed, all cleaned up, set screw removed, even tried unscrewing it. I've even googled, that's when I came across you & several other videos & advice. All the obvious done. What else?

I just bought an old glass knob and am trying to put it on an old door but it won't fit. Do they come in different sizes?

How do you put them back in the door if it comes all the way out

What do you call the glass knobs that have two little flat pieces of metal sticking out on either side of the glass knob??My daughter in law just bought a house.. she hates the old glass knobs and she is giving them to me... she was unaware that if you slide the little metal flat piece to the right it locks the door and if you slide the other one to the left it unlocks it... what is this old locking mechanism called? I can’t seem to find anything like it online but the push pins kind. Hopefully you can help out... the house was built in 1951.

I have a bedroom doorknob like these - the bolt broke inside - so I tried to turn each knob counterclockwise to remove for replacement. They both move but cannot be taken apart - so I'm guessing the threads on the shaft are stripped. If you have any steps I can take let me know. I think I have to cut the shaft and replace that. Then find a bolt (swap with a closet). THANKS

I have a very vivid image of this in my mind now. Ouch!!!!

i have these in my office, however, one door is locked....how do I unlock it?

I wish my house had glass door knobs in it.

Is there a way to tighten the glass on these vintage knobs? I have 14 sets in my house and would love to be able to tighten them.

I bought a glass door knob held in place by screws, glass are not glued, as long as the screws are screwed tight, the glass will not fall out and loose

As I’m writing this I am stuck in my room and I’m trying to figure out how to open my door with the glass door knob

Great video. Hey, I’m curious..what’s the easiest and safest way to remove the glass from the rossette brass part? I’m doing a DIY project and just need the brass part (intact and not bent up) many thanks for any tips!

my grandma had them type of knobs

When my kids were younger they would always get locked in the bathroom. Lol. Every interior door in my home has these original glass knobs. And the bathroom is the only one that has ever had issues over the 20 years of living here. They would just twist and twist the knob the wrong way until it eventually came off. 🫣🤣 Now they are older and all we have to do when the door won't open is turn the knob to the right until it's tightened all the way again and the door opens

Hey i was wondering how you were able to get the inner part of the door knob clean. I am restoring my door knobs

Special uv glue would set that nicely

How do you put them on. The thingy is long. How do I make it fit. It’s loose. Thank you

Is a person able to get a skeleton key cut for these

I tighten the screws and the knobe comes off thried screwing the knobs on but i think the piece between the knobs are stripped can i get another piece or is there something i can do to fix it

I hate that you have to tighten them all the time

I actually have a lot of these door knobs in my home they're quite the pain in the butt to change

can you buy a replacement post for the glass knobs?

What can you do if the set screw has stripped?

We have an exterior entry door and the handle is off. Door won't open. Currently locked out

😎😎😎😎sorry Osceola Indiana hinges and handles. Lol.😎

Can you tell me what size replacements screws i can get . One fell out and the knob is a bit loose. Thanks.

What year are those from? I recently bought a house from 1960 and I would love to get period correct glass knobs

I have these knobs on closet doors with a thumb turn on the inside. Every single closet is missing the glass part. I bought replacements, but cannot for the life of me remove the brass part. I removed the set screw and just started twisting, but it won’t budge. Do you have any idea what could be wrong.

If you take the broken one. Why not inject Black or Metal pigmented epoxy from the back to stop the knob from moving around before it break? You can fill the glass cavity. The pigment should help to hide any bubble in the epoxy.

Why not just epoxy the glass and metal together?

Where can I buy one set screw for a crystal antique door knob?

Hi Jason. Mr dangit thumbs down is back.

Can I buy any of the glass knobs/spindles? Will you ship to Pennsylvania?

I was able to fix two loose glass knobs using this technique. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rct7lKtpsNCcgac.html It does leave a visible hole if you look closely at the knob, but it’s not noticeable at a glance.

How are they removed from the door ??

I'm going crazy I wanna smash this door knob I can't get it off for my life!!!! it's on every single door in my house ughhhhhhh it's not loose! I take screws off but they are like locked to each other!

This showed nothing about removing, re-installing these- not helpful
