    First ever time, removing and installing a new door handle. Neighbourhood has been having break-ins and our old door knob just wasn’t cutting it because it couldn’t lock. Thanks to Bill now I actually feel safe in my own home again

    Thank you so much. Took a while to find this clip but well worth it . I didn't know if I was going to break something but watching this assured me of the right action to get the knob off. Enabled me to spray lubricant into the mechanism therefore no need to replace the lock. Bunnings should create a library of these clips

Thank you so much!!!

    The 50 year old pin didn't want to co-operate.
    But your video showed me that I was on the right track.
    And with one of the comments, that it was safe to pull the knob much harder.
    Phew !
    It worked.

    Nice to find this as my wife was locked in the bedroom and I had to climb onto the garage roof to get in through the balcony and remove the broken doorknob!

    Thank you! Saw so many videos that assumed visible screws. This is just what we needed! Of course our new door knob will have visible screws :)
