How To Take Off The Internal Lever Door Handle From Kwikset?

Replacing an entry door handle or doorknob is a quick and easy way to upgrade your home. Kwikset’s Smartkey solution makes it easy to remove hidden screws and clasps. To remove the interior handle, hold the handle in place and unscrew the set screw located on it. The “Reversible Lever” function allows you to install the leverset on either a left-hand or right-hand configured door.

To remove a Kwikset lever door handle without screws, push the handle off slightly using a flathead screwdriver to reveal the release button. Move it wherever the arrow directs. Inside knobs are often removed via a small slot or hole at the stem of the knob. This model is a lever and requires a 3/32 Allen wrench to remove the handle, pop the rose plate off, and expose the screws.

A 2mm or 2.5mm Allen wrench is recommended for removing the handle, and then the cover plate pops off with a flat blade. Straighten a paper clip and insert it into the hole, applying pressure to trigger a release button inside the hardware.

In summary, replacing a door knob with hidden screws and clasps is a quick and easy way to upgrade your home. Kwikset’s Smartkey solution offers a variety of doorknobs, locksets, and security handles, making it an essential tool for any home improvement.
