I needed a new door handle for the shop. Figured I'd make a video. Note: please watch the whole video before installing yours. I show variations that may or may not be needed for your installation. Thanks for watching.

This video was exactly what I needed! My Kwikset door knob kit has been sitting on a table in my house waiting for my husband to find time to install it. A month later I was about to call a handyman to do it but decided to look into how difficult the job might be when your video popped up. I installed everything in less than ten minutes after watching your video! Thank you so much!

I am in my seventies and I have a terrible time lining up the final screws to complete installation. Here is a little trick I discovered. Before I install the inside lock part, I put two farmer's matches in the holes just enough to hold the match. They fit perfectly. Then I put the lock part on and tape it to the door with a painter's tape (wide). Your holes are lined up. Pull one match stick and insert the screw. Pull the other match and complete installing the last screw. 'WORKS FOR ME'

This is the best comment. Perhaps I could have used toothpicks? I don’t have farmers matches. It’s already installed now. This would saved a lot of frustration. The lock button sticks now which is still a frustration.
@georgeridgeway77662 жыл бұрын
Thanks John for your comment. I found you can also use any nail that is slightly smaller than the screw diameter. Just clip off the nail head before inserting into the holes. The main intent is to line up the holes before final assembling.

If you already had a quick set walk to that door you could have repeated because kwikset has the new rekey locks and it is super easy to keep the same keys throughout the house and garage and rekey yourself which takes about 1 minute or less. After 37 years, and the kwikset comes with a lifetime warranty but I figured that for 30 bucks I now have a new entry lock and a deadbolt which I'm installing today and I used your video too refresh my memory before taking everything apart. I will say that your video is one of the best on KZfaq. Thank you for sharing it with us and also I learned a little bit about the parts that allow for the adjustments without having to read the two very long read only my magnifying glass guides or instruction papers.

I'm a 67 yr old widow with older house. 2 door problems. Bathroom door knob mechanism stuck and broke in door frame. Yes, literally broke! Another knob keeps falling off so time to replace both. Watched 1st youtube video and guy said to simply throw out collar. Bathroom door frame not recessed so wound up chewing up the wood in the door (with screwdriver & hammer) to create the recess. What an aggrevating, time consuming ordeal and mess. Then watched your video and followed your tip about installing the collar into mechanism and hammering with block of wood. Wish I watched your clip the first time. Note to anyone reading this, the block of wood is necessary as it protects and cushions the mechanism and door and ensure it hammers in straight and flush with door. Worked like a charm on the second door. Thank you so much. Your tip was a God send!!

My house is older and 1 door mechanism actually broke off with the piece stuck in the door frame. Another door knob was agiving me grief to so it was time to replace them. I watched a how to video on youtube but the 1st guy said to just throw the collar out. My door plate area was not recessed so the 1st installation did not work. I was aggravated and at a loss, so I manually chewed up the door (with hammer & screwdriver) to make the recess for the door plate. What an ordeal and mess. Then I watched your youtube clip and found your comment about adding the collar and hammering in with a block of wood and it was a God send. It saved me so much time, aggrevation, and mess on the second door knob replacement. Note to anyone reading this, the block of wood is necessary when collar is needed and used. It cushions protects mechanism, plate and door and ensures it is hammered in straight. Worked great! I can't thank you enough!

Great, detailed video. I've got Kwikset locks too, and they are absolute crap. The finish wears off in no time and the mechanism fails.

Great Video but I have a tip for you. For removing/installing the Knobs on the door. The interior knob has groves or slots for the screws that hold the 2 knobs together (at least on KwikSet ). So to remove the interior knob loosen the screws and turn the interior knob counter clockwise and the screws will disengage from the knob and you can remove it. They come out the slots. To install, put the outer knob thru the striker assembly, install the screws part of the way in, slide the interior knob on to the center shaft then slightly turn it counter clockwise, once the screws hit the back of the intrior knob, turn it clockwise to engage the head of the screws into the slots of the interior knob...tighten until snug. This save you the hassle of trying to screw the screws in the whole way with your screwdriver angled.
