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.

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.You have successfully tightened your loose hidden screw doorknob!Model # 690DL 26D CP Delta Satin Chrome Exterior Entry Lever and Single Cylinder Deadbolt Combo Packfits both right & left-handed doors Fits door thickness of 1-3/8 in. to 1-3/4 in.

I personally prefer the one with the code in case I forget my keys. Do both locks use the same key?
