I closed a bedroom door, and the inside lock activated, and I couldn't get back inside😅. Whoever installed them over tightened it and couldn't unscrew it SMH.
@@Neeziafybruh how did you get in bc this is how I ended up on this video but i only have one side of the door knob so idk how I would remove it. The hinges also aren’t on the outside
The knob came off on its own, lol. I could grip the gold part better and twist it off. The inside part fell off on the other side 😅. I would have just forced it open eventually. Luckily, I didn't have to. Hope you got in 😊
thankyou! I went through eight other videos before finding this one, but all the other videos had doorknobs with a pinhole, whereas my doorknobs are exactly like in this video - no screws or pinhole. Now i'll finally be able to get some WD40 in them!
Thank you for your instruction. We struggled until finding yours. Now my wife's daughter's door is fixed for the first time in two years. Best wishes to you & your loved ones for Christmas from Melbourne Australia.
You just saved my life!! Thank you. One side of the exact same door knob had fallen off & I closed the door accidentally. Had no way of accessing that part of the property. Turned anticlockwise and it worked. 👏👏👏👏👏💓💓💓💓
Thank you so much Bill, I have been on the verge of locking myself out of a room in a new house. I had no idea how to change the knob as I couldn't get at the screws but your video showed me how to do it. Life saver. The door knobs are identical. Keep up the great work.
Omg. I finally found how to fix the doorknob that kept falling off. We couldn't work out how to take the cover off. Thanks for showing your expertise. Now we'll know how to take them off when ready to upgrade them as well 👍🏻
After 15 minutes of trying to figure out how to get one of these off. We decided, thankfully, to see if there was a video on RUclips that would help. Thank you for posting this, we’d never of thought that was the answer, all now sorted in just a few minutes 👍
Thank you for explaining this so perfectly...I watched too many videos and not one actually explained this like they were talking to a two year old so a 50 something year old could figure it out 🤦♀️ I just wanted to tell you Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
Only videos you need for home repairs dude bill knows what he’s doing covering multiple ways to cover all bases his videos helped me with both my front door and bedroom doorknobs so easily explained and demonstrated so you know exactly what to do and can’t stuff it up 👍 thank you bill your the man with the plan 🤘
Thank you for this video! I was able to tighten the knob in two minutes. I was trying to figure out how to get the knob off for some time before finding your video.
To those having a trouble to remove these gold plate, I found a solution and work for me, wearing the Washing up glove , those rubber ones , which provide more grip. And this solution is contributed by the Bunnings help forum. And this kind of door knob has its proper name called Gainsborough door knob.
Thank you so much! You saved us hours of frustration. We were considering replacing the door! Great delivery too, straight to the point, much appreciated 👍
Amazingly helpful. I've been waiting for my plumber husband to change one door knob for 3 years and now the bathroom door handle has almost gone. Purchased a few sets and have done the two successfully. Thank you so much Paul.
Thank you! I had alot of issues trying to find the help I needed. Now I can tighten this door knob!! Yay! Recap, this particular handle had the same system on both sides. Had to unscrew both caps then take off plate tighten bolts before placing back into door hole to tighten screws and fix other side. Wouldn't of been able to do this though without knowing how to take the original plate off. Thank you!
Just got done tightening my doorknob on my front door, took about 5 minutes. Door has been on the house since 1958,knob was loose for about 6-7 months. Glad I didn't have to replace the lock set with a new one. Excellent video, thanks for the handy man tips. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate! I have that exact same model and the faceplates were on tight af so I assumed twisting wasn't the right way. This video saved me wasting a lot more time.
Thank you so much. You made that soo much quicker than trying to figure it out for myself. Almost broke before I looked on here. Should have looked first. 😂
Any ideas if the plates are frozen? I was able to unscrew the closet but the bathroom door one ain’t moving! I don’t think wd40 would work here…as the threads are deep inside the center and I wouldn’t be able to get any spray to it.
I just figured it out with a hammer and flat head screw driver. Tried some WD but it obviously didn’t get to the thread that was being tough. I got lucky with banging gently on the side that moves first go so the door isn’t damaged at all. Did you end up figuring it out!?
Thanks, had a loose door knob but couldn't figure out where the mechanism to get backplate off was, just had to leverage it in screw holes and turn clockwise so seeing this helped
Thank you for your help. But I tried to move it and I couldn’t. It is very tight. Do you have another tip for this case? Thanks in advance for your help
hey thanks! - this helped out a lot. I was wondering for month how to disassemble the door knob which had come loose. This sorted it out in minutes! :)
Thank you sir for this videos !!! This videos helped me and my mom because our door knob is always stuck and sometimes you cant even lock or unlock it (sorry for my bad grammar, im a filipino
Tha ks a bunch! I bet it's no coincidence that someone else having this problem was also an Aussie!
This video helped me heaps here in NZ!
these door knobs are a terrible design, whoever made them should be ashamed of themselves. thanks for the video
Honestly. The amount of times these just fall off because of this design is ridiculous
I closed a bedroom door, and the inside lock activated, and I couldn't get back inside😅. Whoever installed them over tightened it and couldn't unscrew it SMH.

Thank you very much! This video is exactly what I needed. Now my Missus thinks I'm a super handyman for fixing the bathroom door. Much appreciated!
You’re welcome 👍

Thank you so much Paul.
Thank you so very much for making the video!!!! Now I know how to tighten the door knobs on my own.
I just left a comment on your previous video on this topic but this video has answered my question. This is the exact door handle I have. Thank you
Great video!! For those that the plate is stuck just get your chisel underneath it and loosen and then you can unscrew
Thank you! I had alot of issues trying to find the help I needed. Now I can tighten this door knob!! Yay! Recap, this particular handle had the same system on both sides.

Thanks mate. Just fixed the problematic one and tighten up several other ones. Have an awesome day.
You’re welcome 👍
Just what I needed. Thanks so much!
Been wrestling with this type for an hour now. I'll try harder to turn it anti clockwise again. Really helpful. Thanks
Thank you so much, I spent hours trying to figure it out until I came across this video 🙂

Thanks so much!! Was banging my head trying to find out how to open it up to tighten the screws inside.
Thank you for the clear, concise instructions! Much appreciated.
Thank you so much. You made that soo much quicker than trying to figure it out for myself. Almost broke before I looked on here. Should have looked first. 😂
I have exactly the same door knob.. Thank you so much for posting this..It was really helpful. ❤️
Thanks Bill - awesome instruction, I found you other two first but this is the one I needed - I had the door fixed in a giphy - URA LEGEND!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. It saves a lot of money for me as I love doing this kind of job by myself.

Did you end up figuring it out!?
I had been fighting with my door knob as I couldn’t find the release pin, so glad this video exists. I was ready to just pull it off of the door 😂
Pretty sure I would have destroyed the door or the handle if I hadn’t found your video. Thank you. I love your channel
Thank you for this. It's so simple but I was stuck trying to figure this out until I saw your video. Two thumbs up.
If the faceplates are stuck and will not rotate what can I do to get them off? Thanks!
mine are the same, did you get any way to fix this?
Such a great and simple to follow video!
Thank you so much for this. Made it easy to fix our loose door handle.

Thanks in advance for your help
You Rock!!!! Can't believe it was that easy.

Absolutely Perfect. Thank you so very much!!
Thank you for this. I would not have thought to twist the covers so hard.
super helpful! thank you bill!
Great stuff Bill great tutorial
Was going to break down the door soon haha you saved me thank you!
Bill, I am not able to rotate/turn the cover plate anticlockwise on front or back. It is hard to grip the brass plate. Any suggestions?
Thank you man, you shaved me . I was struggling from last 3 hours. I almost broke the door.
If your outer cover won’t budge, do it with the door shut. Took me ages to figure this one out!
Bloody legend mate. Had no clue how to get into it for an easy fix
Man I was just looking for this type of handle! Thank you.
thank you! I was struggling few days to solved this puzzle!
