Doorknobs are small details that can have a large impact on a space, while remaining within a budget. Doorknobs come in many shapes and sizes, but be careful not to go overboard when shopping for new doorknobs; they should complement the room, but not be the focal point.
To replace your doorknobs, follow these simple steps:
- Remove the screws holding the old doorknob in place and unscrew the striker and pull it out. After you remove the screws, the doorknob can be pulled apart and removed.
- Install the new doorknob by reversing the removal procedure. The holes for the new doorknob will usually match the existing holes.
- 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).
- If you feel resistance when sliding the new knob together, turn the lock back and forth so that the shaft fits correctly.
- Sit back and enjoy the new effect!
