Replacing a Doorknob
Doorknobs are classified by function: entry (keyed), privacy (bedroom/bathroom), and passage (hallway/closet). It's important to know which one you want before you go to the hardware store.
The things you will need
Removing a Doorknob
To remove the existing doorknob use a Philips head screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the doorknob cover. It works best to hold onto both covers with one hand, while using the other hand to use the screwdriver.
Installing a New Doorknob
Make sure the side containing the lock will be on the interior side of the door. Insert the stems of the exterior doorknob into the holes horizontally in the Lock mechanism.
Place the interior doorknob on the protruding spindle, carefully aligning the stems with the screw holes. Screw in the screws the same way you unscrewed them, by hold both side with on hand.
Test the handle by opening and closing the door.
Congratulations! You're done.
