I'd not just buy you a beer, but a whole keg 😂 Just fixed my bathroom door, but I had to tell my husband the truth that I didn't figure it out. You are my Superman!!!
Thank you so much for this! Great info! It took me longer to dig through my ridiculous random Allen wrench collection looking for the right one than to fix it.
Perfect! Exactly the setup I have somewhere & was unfamiliar with! _Very helpful!_ (esp. saving time digging out manufacturer info / etc.) Appreciate ya!
Thank you! I had this problem on the inside knob with the lock switch. My model only had one hole.This video helped me understand the basic concept of how the allen wrench screw works. My handle is now secure.
Also this was the first inspection of what I needed to do there. The guy had no keys to the whole house. I had to pull all the cylinders out, rekey them and put them back in. When I did that I put them in right side up.
@@Jesusisallpowerful yes. Remember, the locking thumb turn button must be in the unlocked position or the Allen wrench won't go all the way in to engage the set screw.
The reason the non-experienced person used a wood screw is because there is a hole in the lever and a hole in the lock cylinder that overlap when the handle is rattling. Putting an Allen key in the hole doesn't do any good unless you (which is counter intuitive) shove and wiggle the key all the way through the assembly to the other side where it will allow for tightening. An inexperienced person who doesn't/didn't have access to RUclips -(the source of all knowledge) would come up with this as a logical way to keep the lever from rattling. Wrong but very understandable.
That looks like a security flaw to me, you shouldn't be able to remove the outer handle from the outside, any burglar could take it off and manipulate the lock tumbler. Locks are so easily defeated. They need to quit using the designs from five decades ago and redesign them to increase the security IMHO.
You can only do this with the handle UNLOCKED. You can’t just walk up when the door is locked and take it apart. So if the door is unlocked they can just walk in and don’t have to take it apart
So helpful. This was exactly my problem and you solved it easily! I even had the long allen wrench, just couldn't figure out where the set screw was!
@@MarleenMasone glad to hear Marleen
I would buy you a beer if I could. You are my hero. In my case 2mm European Allen wrench worked better.
Oh cool. You can ship the beer to America

Now, if he had fixed it he would expect a BJ for his effort. I hope you got yours.

Awesome
a year later this was still helpful!
@@roshamboya7272 well these locks have been around for a long time and will be for the next 20 years so hopefully it will continue to be helpful :)
Thank you so much for this! Great info!
Glad I found your video, I was tearing my knob apart and would have never gotten this!
Thank you! The allen wrench that fits mine is 1/4"
Thanks, brother! I would have NEVER figured this out!
Thank you very easy and quick. Blessing!
So helpful!! Thanks!

Thank you!
Saved my butt with this one Thx.
Awesome! That’s what I make these for
8/5/24 you just saved me Bro👍thanks
@@albertmorado2350 awesome!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
You know that the levers are reversed. The exterior should be swapped with the interior lever. Right? But a very good type.
In all my time as a locksmith. No one has ever cared about this or even noticed. :) it’s a non-issue. Thanks for the comment
Dude!
All that, and you didn't reinstall the lock cylinder right side up? 😮
Usually I do but that wasn’t the point of this video, Just a quick clip on how to do something very specific.
Also this was the first inspection of what I needed to do there. The guy had no keys to the whole house. I had to pull all the cylinders out, rekey them and put them back in. When I did that I put them in right side up.
Help! Mine came off first thing this morning. So all I need is that Allen wrench?
@@Jesusisallpowerful yes. Remember, the locking thumb turn button must be in the unlocked position or the Allen wrench won't go all the way in to engage the set screw.
@@nephikemper5157 Thank you. I couldn't figure out how the hell to get the allen wrench through. I was beating my head against the wall.
