door handle set with hardware Begin by removing the screws holding the doorknob in place. The screws will be located on the interior side of the door. If your doorknob has screws on the cover plates, remove those to loosen the old knob. If not, look for a small slot with a metal piece on the side of the handle. Then use a clip or the key from the new doorknob to push in on the metal piece as show in the image. That should make the doorknob pop loose. Pull off the doorknob to reveal the plate below. Look for a slot in the plate along the seam where it butts against the door. Wedge a flathead screwdriver in the slot and then give the plate a half twist to pop it off. With plate removed, you'll see the screws you should remove with a power drill (Image 1). Remove the old latch by taking out the screws with a power drill or screwdriver (Image 2). Depending on your door, you may need to adjust the backset, the distance between the edge of the door and the center of the doorknob.
Most doorknobs can accommodate different backsets. Reverse the removal procedure to install the new doorknob. In most cases the holes for the new doorknob will match your existing holes. Be sure to orient the new striker in the correct direction to ensure that the door will close properly. Screw the new latch in, setting the screws by hand first and then tightening them with a power drill. Set the doorknobs in place, set the screws by hand, and then tighten. Don't over-tighten the screws or you'll bind the doorknob. Test the new handle to make sure it turns and locks properly.

You don't need a locksmith to replace a faulty lockset on an interior door. It's a simple job anyone can tackle in less than 15 minutes. For many novice do-it-yourselfers, however, the most difficult part is the first step: removing the doorknob. On most locksets, the mounting screws are concealed, so at first glance there doesn't seem to be a way to disassemble the knob. Here's the secret: Look closely at the shank of the interior doorknob and you'll see a tiny slot or hole. Push the tip of a narrow-blade screwdriver or nailset into the hole. Tug on the knob and it will slide right off. Then pry off the round decorative plate, called the rose, to expose the screws that hold the lockset onto the door.A loose doorknob having hidden screws uses a special mechanism called a detent to attach the door handle to the spindle and can be easily removed and tightened. Loose doorknobs are a common problem on frequently used doors around the home. Sometimes the doorknob spins on its spindle, other times the doorknob pulls away from the door as in the photo above.
How you fix the problem depends on the design of your doorknob or lever door handle and how it is fastened to the spindle and the door. The oldest and most common method to attach the doorknob uses exposed set-screws to fastened the doorknob to a threaded spindle. The detent is concealed under the shaft of the doorknob or lever and is typically depressed through a hole or slot. As opposed to using set screws to resist the rotation of the doorknob or handle about the spindle, the hidden screw doorknob uses a device called a detent. The detent is a concealed spring activated pin or small thin plate attached to the spindle that protrudes into a notch in the doorknob to prevent rotation. The trick with a hidden screw doorknob is that releasing the doorknob from the spindle requires you to depress the detent, which I discuss in the next section. There are three common ways to... Hidden screw doorknobs or lever door handles can only be removed by depressing a concealed detent.
To release the doorknob you must depress the detent and slide the doorknob or handle off the spindle shaft. As mentioned earlier, there are three common ways to access and depress the concealed detent which secures the handle. Small round holeThis type is found commonly on lever style door handles such as in the photo above. To depress the detent use the end of a metal paper clip, insert it into the hole and press the detent down while twisting and removing the door handle shaft off the spindle.SlThis type is usually found on Remove trim ring with a small thin blade screwdriver. Once the doorknob or lever is removed the only thing standing in your way from accessing those elusive hidden screws is the removal of the decorative trim ring. The trim ring covers the lockset's backing plate which hold the doorknob/latch assembly to the door. The trim ring snaps onto the backing plate and can be removed by gently prying it off with a small thin flat blade screwdriver. You will probably see a notch in the trim ring designed to accept the screwdriver and facilitate the prying...
Tighten the doorknob / latch assembly by tightening the long screws which run through the backing plates. The long screws that fasten the doorknob/latch assembly to the door run from the inside backing plate, through the door and fasten to the backing plate on the outside of the door. To tighten the loose assembly, simply press firmly on the outside backing plate and then tighten the long screws holding the backing plates to the door. These screws will most likely be phillips head screws so use a phillips head screwdriver which have an "x" shaped tip. The trim ring snaps into place over the backing plate. Now that the backing plates are tight to the door simply snap the trim ring back onto the backing plate. It should just snap into place. Install doorknob handle by sliding onto spindle and engaging the detent. With the trim ring on all that is left is to slide the doorknob or lever door handle onto the spindle shaft. Slide it on and when fully seated, twist into position so that the detent clicks into place to hold the doorknob or lever in place.
