How To Change A Door Knob Outside Without Using Screws?

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to replace a door knob, whether with or without screws, and both locking and non-locking types. It also discusses how to change or remove an old door knob without visible screws. To remove an old door knob without screws, look for a small slot or hole on the side of the knob and insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot to release the knob.

Many door handles have visible screws on the trim plate on one side of the door. Unscrew these screws, unscrew the latch from the door edge, and remove all pieces. If you can’t see any screws, remove the lock cylinder and complete your DIY screwless doorknob project.

If your screwless doorknob is fitted in a hollow core door, follow these steps:

1. Try releasing at the knob stem.
2. Pry off the ornamental cover plate.
3. Check under the cover plate.
4. Remove set screws on the knob core.
5. Remove the latch plate for access.
6. Locate the small hole or slot underneath the door shaft.

To replace a door handle without visible screws, remove the faceplate that conceals the latch. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the notch located around the neck of the knob. This simple process can make replacing a door knob a simple and efficient task.
