Instructions for Replacing a Door Knob
Remove the Old Doorknob
- Unscrew the screws that are holding the doorknob in place.
- Pull on both knobs at the same time and they will come apart. Remove the old doorknob and set it aside.
- If you want to replace the strike plate, remove it by unscrewing the screws and pulling it from the door frame.
Install the New Doorknob
- Place the new latch into its place and screw into place.
- Put both doorknobs and trims in place on either side of the door. Make sure that they fit together on the inside of the door and that the holes for the long screws line up.
- Insert the long screws into the doorknob on both sides. Tighten the screws alternately, first on one side, and then the other.
- Make sure the screws are screwed in tightly. If the doorknob rattles, the screws must be tightened.
- Place the new strike plate onto the door frame and screw into place.
