My door wouldn’t latch in at 10pm and I tried removing all parts and spindle was stuck, I gave up by 1am while door was practically open without latch going in. After hearing a pack of coyotes near my backyard; I slept with one eye open and put a chair in front of the door. This morning your video saved my life, time and money. Thank you a million times 😄🥰 I finally figured out how to release the spindle!
This video help me to take my key out of the lock!!! THANK YOU!!!!! You made it a piece of cake! I went to Home Depot to get help and they were too busy to do it and they said the lock was going to get ruined. So I went back home and looked for help in RUclips and this video was the best! Now I know how to do it on my own!!!! Thanks!
I kept searching for videos regarding this issue and I found Lequid's youTube video to remove the spindle. Once I got the spindle out the rest of the handle came right out. Now off to the big box store because this is the door to my garage. It has to be locked or my better half will worry herself silly. I will seek a good lock that can't be bumped. Your video helped a lot. Thanks.
@@LEARNINGCHORDS yep, I picked up a new Kwikset the type you can use your same house key as it is easy to set. Got it in and it works great. Thanks for your response.
this was great, i did not have the special tools just like his situation so his approach was perfect for me. Great advice, made sense, wonderful........
Well, I guess I will be the first comment on this video. My Kwikset plunger won't retract and unlock. I have the door open and I have removed the inside handle. I can use my key to operate the lock but it doesn't unlock. I have put it all back together and I can turn the lock but it won't let the plunger retract. The key on the outside turns full range, but something inside is not lining up enough to let the plunger retract. It is stuck and I can't close the door fully because the plunger won't retract. Mine won't come out so I can get my screwdrivers in the spots you are picking at. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. I just want to go buy a replacement today, but I can't get the old knob out because the door won't unlock.
I was about to do this but I sprayed WD40 in the key hole and it came out so smooth. If WD40 doesn't work or the key is broke inside try what he is doing 👍🏽

Glad I found this video. Others didn't go over that c-clip removal to get the cylinder out. Thanks for the explanation.
enjoy

This saved me, my kid stuck a stick in the lock and broke it off. Thanks to this vid I could pop the cylinder and push it out the front.

Thanks a lot! It worked and I got the key out.
very good
Great video, helped enormously; TYSVM!
Good video
The only thing I would say would help would maybe be at least for me use counterclockwise and clockwise instead of turning left and right
How about links to the other video about resetting springs you refer to in about 3 or 4 of your videos. I’ve looked n can’t find.
what are you asking about? what do you mean how to reset springs
