To remove a Kwikset knob lock set with no screws and no detent, slip a small screwdriver over the lever and slide it in the direction indicated. This will release the interior knob from the door and allow you to pull the knob free. Once the knob is removed, you will have access to the interior screws holding the plate and the exterior handle in place. A rubber-band on the screwdriver can be used to secure the knob.
Kwikset door handles often come with a hidden release button, allowing you to remove the handle without any visible screws. Look for a small slot or hole typically. Kwikset door handle removal is the reverse of installation, and it may help to check the installation by looking for pin holes in the rose or lever body itself. Straighten a paper clip and insert it into the hole, applying pressure to trigger a release button inside the hardware.
To replace an interior doorknob yourself, follow these steps:
Check your setup. The screws for the interior knob are likely hidden beneath the plate cover. Look along the edge of the plate.
Remove the two countersunk screws in the end of the internal lock box and slide it towards you until it comes off the lugs at the other end. Use a 2mm or 2.5mm Allen to get the handle off, and then pop the cover plate off with a flat blade.
In summary, removing a Kwikset knob lock set with no screws and no detent is a simple and effective process that can save time and effort.
