I can't express how thankful I am.. I'm still 12 but I fixed our doorknob! Thanks so much!!
@Officer Barbrady haha love
Your name
Me too! I'm 12 and I'm a girl
@@gale6834 Good job! Never underestimate yourself just because you're a girl! This is no longer a men-only world, nowadays you can go for whatever career you want.
@@jennifergriffith Name me a big and well known successful business that is founded and run by women only, until you give me an good answer, this is still a men run only world.
@@gnggng. You have missed the point. Women don't have to own businesses in order to be successful. Yes, business ownership is an excellent goal. However, women in the trades and crafts are becoming more common. It used to be that women in skill trades that are traditionally male would be looked upon with suspicion. Girls and women are now realizing that they can go to school or learn from others one-on-one how to do things, and do them well; men are finally becoming more accepting of that. So, while business ownership is a measure of success, it's certainly not the only one.
I don’t understand the thumbs down?? What, you don’t want help replacing things around your home?? This guys spends his time and energy into educating people which he doesn’t have to do. As for me, I’m super thankful for people like this guy!
Bravo, thank you so very much for the kind encouragement. I let haters hate and I thank the good Lord that I am not one of them. You gave me a huge smile. Have a wonderful weekend.
Frosty Life thanks you have a good weekend as well. Oh, and I changed my door knob today that is on the back door. Was a little nervous because it was 20 degrees outside and I knew it would be a shame to mess that up but hey, I got some great confidence from your videos 😉 turned out great!
Some people had no glasses at the moment and missed thumb up ;)
@@FROSTYLIFE Thank you for the very easy to follow demonstration on how to remove the privacy door knobs, I had two that needed to be removed but I could not see how to remove them, one I had messed up pretty bad but you clip showed me what to look for, the knob fell of and was easy to remove the rest, the second had a hole that I poked the screw driver into as I pulled back on the knob and that came off easy as well, now just a matter of installing the new ones.
The thumbs down guys are really dumb till didnt understand this video... This video very2 helpful.. Now we know there are a lot of dumb guys who even not understand this video... Lol..
Frustration button
The kids in my basement jammed the door with a chair, this was a life saver!
Wait what?
@Officer Barbrady officer, arrest this man!
I "fought" with this bloody handle for 1/2 hour and then decided to check out your site!! Instant success in about 2 seconds flat. THANK YOU !!!!!!
This makes me very happy. I love to help people and I learned to make videos to show people how to fix things. Thank you so much for the very kind encouragement.

Same experience here. Totally helpful 😊
Same here too! Helpful! Thanks!
and funny at the last part. 🤣
Thank you so much for this instructional video! My husband was complaining about the loose front door knob yesterday and wanted me to call in a work order to fix it. That would be days or even a couple of weeks for an appointment. Well, look who took care of it in two minutes this morning! We'll see if he notices when he gets home from work.
I can't express how thankful I am. Today I found you video, had two handles driving me crazy for... forever it seemed. Didn't want to pay someone to come in for such a simple fix. THANK YOU!
Thank goodness for this video. My mother and I were struggling for a good while trying to figure out how to remove her doorknob. Super helpful and clear in explaining things!
I am not proud to admit that I previously removed some doorknobs without the knowledge of your video. A flathead screwdriver was used as a prybar. Luckily the door was a wee bit banged up already.
Saved my day. Forgot how to take off knob with no screws.
Thank you so much, I replaced a door knob today and couldn’t have done it without your help. And yes you were right getting the old knob off was the hardest part. Very grateful- thank you 😊💯
Love your direct instructions, easy terminology, sense of humor.
DONT STOP MAKING VIDEOS
+Karl Bertyn You really made me smile. Thank you for the very kind comment.
Me yelling at Siri from inside the bathroom to search " How to replace door knob tutorial" because I accidentally lock myself while trying replace the doorknob.
It's already 2020, did you finally got out?
Ronald Jack Mc.G I accidentally was locked out of my home today because of a faulty doorknob/lock mechanism. I thank God for people who share their knowledge on fixing things. Anyone who would 👎🏼 this just has been lucky...so far.
Ronald Jack Mc.G locked myself in too
LOL

Your instructions were clear, and very fun to listen too! I am going to replace two of my door knobs--one in the master bedroom and the other in the bathroom. Thanks for these tips!
Arif Norkulis thank you for making a very kind and thoughtful comment. I am very happy to hear this helped you.
Thank you. I literally just finished installing a new knob while following along with your video. You saved me a lot of time and stress. 👍😁 From Australia.
you can tell this guys a dad with a couple of kids just by the way he talks and i love it, super helpful video too!
Frosty,
I am the klutz of all klutzes and I changed the knob with your wonderful help. You are a fine gentleman and thanks.
NortonsNestMonthly that is sweet of you for taking the time to write such a nice comment. I am very happy to hear that this helped you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you! Changed my door knob. At first, installed everything, the lock button worked, I turned the knob but the bit sticking out the side of the door didn't went in. Closed the door and it couldn't open form both side. So I was stucked ! Luckily the screw drivers are with me, so I dismantled the door knob again so I can open the door & put it back together making sure it's properly placed and the side bits comes in an out when I turn the door knob. Lesson learnt.. The hard way and I was very lucky!
As others stated, it had been awhile since having to replace a door knob. And with that said, the old brain wasn't in tune with the current know how of changing these door knobs. Thanks for the refresher course. Much appreciated!
I especially liked 3 things that you did, which most other DIY CZcamsrs fail miserably at doing:
1. Your camera angles and visibility of the objects you're talking about at that moment.
2. That you edited the cuts to remove all of the irrelevant minutiae, such as moving around, changing video position and random himming-and-hawing that bore and distract viewers from the relevant information.
3. (*favorite and most impressive part) That you recognize the value and importance of visually familiarizing yourself with the mechanics of parts prior to working with them. Clearly you took this into consideration enough so to do a sidebar to show the viewer the components that we wouldn't be seeing before working with them. BRAVO! Keep up the good work!
Very nice, thank you so much for the very positive and encouraging detailed message. Your comment will help encourage me to implement those factors into future videos. I am a professional flight instructor and worked in a university setting, so adult education is something that I have experience and have incorporated my experience into my videos. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to provide specific feedback.
Happy to support good work.
I am so grateful I found your channel before I changed my bedroom doorknob because I would have locked myself in
You do a great job of explaing everything in a clear and understandable way. Thanks for great video!!
Wow a man who reads instructions! Ty so much, just about todo the same thing.
Update: I finally removed the doorknob! It was an original one from when the home was built in 1979, so it just needed a little more effort to remove. I will watch your CZcams channel again. Thank you once more.
It had been a while since I has replaced some of the door knobs in our 15 year old home - this video made it SO MUCH easier.
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you frosty life for the amazing tutorial, was able to remove my doorknob and figure out why it was dislatched and found out a screw was loose and fixed it in no time!
I was stumped about fixing my door, watched the first 2:30 of this and had my info, only took 2 minutes to fix the door. Thanks!
I am very happy to hear that this helped you. You missed the bloopers at the end lol.
Thanks so much! I got ambitious to change all the door knobs in my house and quickly found I had no idea what I was doing! This was a lot of help!
I replaced my door knob after watching your video. It is very helpful, thank you very much :)
The best handy men have this peculiar diction. From manufacturing to construction, the best of them seem to have this odd but incredibly friendly way of speaking. I find that those that get easily frustrated and swear a lot are often not that skilled or knowledgeable.
that is very kind, thank you
Thank you very much. It was fun and a joy to watch you. (not in a rude or disrespectful way) It's funny, My son gets angry and sometimes throws tantrums. I remind him the "Stay Frosty" daily. (You know, keep your cool)
Thank you, John C. Reilly. I haven't had a lock on my door since I was 15. I'm 22 now. My girlfriend and I just bought a new doorknob with a lock and installed it. I/we can finally have privacy.
Hahaha, John C Reilly is also from Minnesota here. I am happy this video helped you.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Good explanation. I got locked in the bathroom when I was about 8 and my father had to rip the thing apart with a vise grip (1950s-trim-pieces aside, it was exactly the kind you took out, a Weslocks, I believe). The guy at the hardware store sold my father a course, rounded file and told him he'd have to enlarge the hole. They must vary in size just a bit and when the door, frame and lockset are sold as one pre-fab assembly, the cutout is just big enough for the brand of lock they chose.
Mannnnn I’m so glad i found your video, because i just struggled to get my door knob off ☺️☺️☺️
thank you a lot for this, this just helped me fix a major breach in my privacy caused by my parents not wanting me to be able to lock the door to my room, and i was having trouble removing the doorknob, this helped me a ton, thank you
I am always happy to help people.
Awesomeness! Thank you so much! Sitting here scratching my head and clicked the little release and nothing. Saw your video and pushed it harder. Wiggled off the knob and presto! You saved me a lot of time! Thank you so much!
Thank You. Renting in Mexico a house and you saved me a hassle! God bless!
Thank you sir. It’s been a few years and forgot how to take that plate off. Once I saw you taking I off it all came back to me. Thanks again.
Thanks we’re retired and couldn’t afford to pay a locksmith, you saved us some $$$$!!!
Thank you so much, man. After fiddling with the old one for about 3 minutes, I begrudgingly looked up how to take it off. Glad I did. You're a timesaver!
I am very happy to hear that my video helped you figure out the door knob replacement chore. When I finally figured it out I was very happy to make a video to help other people that have the same problem.
love the old-skool used-car salesman vibe in the intro lmao... and the bloopers. kudos for making these videos entertaining. thanks!
Wow, a man who not only read instructions but admits to mistakes, Mrs. Frosty Life is one lucky lady! :) Your family seems to share in your good humor!
I got myself locked in my room because the knob was broken and this helped me break out
Thanks man you saved my life
Mamta Khanzode lol 😂😂😂I did the same
If your door doesn’t lock after this, check your striker plate. In my case mine was to low I raised it up a bit and boom it works. Thank you for the guide!!! I finally have privacy now sir
Thank you so much for this video! I am doing a DIY project by myself and had no idea where to even begin taking the doorknob off with no screws lol
Thanks. With your guidance, I just changed my door knob effortlessly.
Very Helpful, honestly had no idea there was a clip there
Thank you very much !! Like that got directly to the core without razzle dazzle and clear audio! bloopers at end were funny.
This was a big help, thanks.
The hard part was tracking down the tiny hole to release the knob.
The release hold is the hardest part. After finding that, the rest of the job is all fun.
Frosty Life you should have changed the striker plate
Thank you for posting this video. Really helped me out right now to change a door knob with no visible screws. :) thank you so much
Lined up bottom screw by mistake 😍. STILL lining up top one. I'm a NURSE, NO way a handyperson BUT I think I could've designed easier screw positions. So hard to get to! Video MEGA helped! Instructions in pkg are TRASH! 🤣
Great video, clear instructions - plus a little humor! Thanks so much! My install was a success thanks to you! Now on to replacing the rest of the doorknobs in the house.....
Am an older lady who used to do this for my house but forgot
how. Thanks so much!
I am so glad my video helped you with the replacement of the door knob in your house. Thank you for taking the time to write a positive comment. Have a fantastic week.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Every internal door in my home has 'locked' at some point (mainly the ones that are not the lockable sort!) No fun being locked in a room and I'll be making sure to get better quality replacements. So thanks again.
My doorknob had been a pain in my behind for over a year! Thanks to this awesome video...I was able to fix it! Thanks you!
This was SO helpful! THANK YOU!!!! Blessings from Seattle! 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that my door knob video helped you. It is very encouraging when nice people like you take the time to let me know my efforts helped you. It makes me want to make MORE how to videos.
Super man!
I was able to fix my door knob all by myself.
Many thanks !
Big thumbs up! Your excellent video gave me the confidence to replace a wonky passage set. I've changed a thousand Weiser style sets before...no idea why these need to be this complicated. ( thrift stores usually have these new still in the boxes). Mission accomplished. Wife happy.
Thanks for the video. I love watching videos made by people with a sense of humor.
Nadsian 50 thank you for your very positive comment
My doorknob got broken and I got stuck in my room. This video helped me get out. Thank you!!
Let me just say, the knob on my door just recently fell off because the mechanisms inside were loosened and this tutorial (out of all of the tutorials on the type of lock I have) helped me fix it! This isn't a tut on FIXING them and it helped. Thank you tremendously
I am VERY happy to hear my door knob replacement video helped you out. Thank you for writing such a positive comment.
I just fixed two door handles in my house that’s been broken for over 3 months. Thank you so much for this video!!
Thanks for the help! Had to replace my spare bedroom/office door knob, and couldn't figure it out for the life of me. This is the first place I've lived that had that little release switch. Everything's all taken care of, and I have a working door again. Thanks a ton!
+Colin Luttrell fantastic, I love when my video helps someone figure out the replacement of the door knob. Thank you for watching and thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment.
As a person that always wants to try stuff by herself first, thank you for this video. I'd figured out everything except the 'tab' to get the plate off under the handle and it was driving me nuts!! Haha
Totally forgot how to access the hidden screws. Thank you so much for this video! Love your conversation along the way. made me giggle 😃
Hi and thanks for making this video. Today, and for the very first time, I had to replace the knobs and faulty lock on the side door of our house. I was baffled because I could find any screws. Your video saved me. You did a great job of explaining what to do. The out-takes were funny too. Thanks again!
I love when my video helps someone else. I am glad to hear your doorknob project was easier with the help from my video. Thank you for taking the time to write a nice comment. That makes me smile. Thanks.
This man's voice and personality is amazing 💕
Thank you sooooo much!!! I was almost ready to buy a new door until I found your video! Much appreciative of your videos sir!!
Thank you for taking the time! Very comprehensive and extremely helpful. Love the humor too.
+A Trimble Thank you for taking the time to leave a very nice comment. I am glad this video helped you remove and replace your door knob. Thank you for watching Frosty Life.
Watched this to get a feel for quick door knob replacement. Thanks a bunch Frosty!
that is great. Thank you for watching, and I really thank you for your very nice comment too.
thank you so much, after watching this i feel like a pro now
Illustrative, had my problem solved in the first minute. Thank you for the video, new suscriber.
Welcome to the FROSTY Life
I am really grateful bcz my dad is always not around bcz he's a seaman and the only ones in the house are me and my mom so if there's something broken the only one that can try is me thank youu
I am very happy I can be a part of your solution.
Thanks! This is just what I needed to replace the doorknob to my bedroom door!
Thanks so much! Changed my doorknobs all by myself! I love youtube!
I love that my video can help people overcome a problem and take the control to fix it themselves. Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive and encouraging comment.
Thanks. Its helpful and straight forward. I got my door knob broken, and I was almost trying to debunk the mechanism of door knob, instead of just knowing the simple steps to change one. TLDR. Thanks again!!
Thanks! Your a life saver. My bedroom door has been needing a new handle for years, just didn't know how to get the old one off.
THANK YOU for saving what little remains of this ol' disabled widow's SANITY Brother!!! Your bathroom door set was an interior no key knob set - mine are Kwickset}s} and keyed alike. All you left out was the need of a SECOND helper outer or - magically grow a THIRD free hand to HOLD the exterior keyed door knob{s} - OR - as in my case - Painters TAPE & LOTS of it - to hold just enough back pressure so I could fish for and FIND the two interior handset screw holes that align and secure the whole mess together IN the door! THIS time however - I also remembered to put a BROOM handle IN the doorway till everything was successfully tested & done. HUGE lesson learned about NOT letting the door CLOSE on you - BEFORE the center striker bit is OUT of the bloody DOOR! Note to Self - If you're going to DO this to an interior/exterior door - Keep an old credit card in your Save My @$$ Kit so you can depress it just enough to break back IN to your house to get TO that interior knob and get the striker bit OUT of the DOOR before you dare let it close again!!! Trouble began when I was leaving out my kitchen-to-garage door - when I went to CLOSE it - the damned exterior knob fell out in my hand! I had my front door key on me so I could get BACK into my house thank goodness! Later when I tried to complete the removal I forgot to KEEP the door OPEN after watching a few CZcams Videos to find out HOW to get the interior knob OUT and by depressing the little magik spring latch or something in that center horizontal striker bit - When I poked at it with a screwdriver - the interior knob SHOT out of the door and across the floor completely! THEN I finally got the middle werks OUT of the door! Have had it taped over with a pull cord to open / close for weeks hoping to find some kind soul to do this FOR me - and decided today - HELL if I can teach myself to turn WOOD - I can damn well do THIS by myself too! Should you ever wonder - Your video worked wonders for ME and was extremely inspiring and empowering!!! Now I have the courage {gulp} to replace the FRONT keyed alike door knob set - hopefully without dinging my fresh exterior paint job in the process!!! Again and again - I THANK YOU for posting this Sir!
Painters tape, yes! Genius! Well done, and the broom handle, very good idea. I love your writing style, very much. You make the best out of some very frustrating moments. Humor has healing powers. Thank you for the most entertaining door knob response I have ever received, and I am very impressed with your perseverance and dedication to getting the job done. I am very happy to hear that I was instrumental in helping you succeed.
Thank you for your kind response! I tend to write the way I speak - just imagine hearing a Georgia drawl tho not nearly as pronounced as most while you read. I've always said my epitaph will someday read: "Lord... Was it something I SAID???"
I used Painters Tape because I have loads of it & more importantly, I've recently had a rather EXPENSIVE exterior repair / paint job done and I'm not certain sure WHICH of the three mystery buckets of leftover paint is the gorgeous deeeeep red /violet based eggplant paint on the double front wood doors - if I chinked any of it off the door while installing the exterior door handle in place!
They both fit perfectly thanks to you and your video - with ZERO resultant ohhh-noooo's to cover up since I'd REALLY HATE to have to paint that darn door with all those detailed faux panels on it! Indeed the WORST part of the whole job was getting the OLD knob sets OUT of the door{s}. The new lock sets just KNEW where they were supposed to GO and put up no resistance! So I got out of it without damage or the need for a little nip of "Steady-The-Nerves"! So - Tahhhh Dahhhhh and THANK YOU!!! Teri
Oh, yes, reading your writing with a southern drawl makes is even more interesting and entertaining. I love that epitaph quote. I hope some of my other videos also entertain you as much as this video helped you.
This is an awesome post! LOVE it! Hope things getter better for you real soon. :)
I'm replacing a doorknob tomorrow. This video helped me to know what to expect. Also, thanks for rescuing the kitty! Outtakes are a nice touch :)
thank you Shelley Hanna . Your doorknob project will go well. If not, just send me a message, I will help. Thank you for confirming that outtakes are appreciated. I love posting outtakes.
Very helpful! you helped me to save my door, thanks!
Thank you so much, you explained everything in a way I could understand it.
Thanks man..i didn't know how easy it was to do..just completed my project successfully thanks to you. :)
Jeffrey O'Brien I am very happy to hear that this helped you. Thank you for taking the time to write a comment. More fun video will be uploaded every week here at Frosty Life.
Wait what? No way. I thought I was losing my mind hahaha 😆 thank you hommie. 😊
Non-intimidating and clear. Perfect instructions. Thank you!
This was very helpful! I just needed to switch two doorknobs (one with a broken lock, one without), and couldn't figure out how to take the darn thing off. Thanks so much!
I love when my video helps someone. I was so baffled by this door knob and when I finally figured out how to remove it then I just had to share my video to help others with this problem.
Cheers boss. You saved me money and time. I did it myself. GOD Bless. I subscribed as well. 😆
Thank you! Removed 1 minute after your video!
Good Job and well explained. Thank you. I forgot how to install a door knob. It all came back.
Many thanks! Would`ve never gotten the old one off without your help.
I am very happy to hear your door knob replacement went well. Thank you for the wonderful comment.
Great video. I have never changed a door knob, and never been great with tools. But this video helped out alot. Thank you.
Andrew Sanchez I am very glad to hear this helped you. Thank you for taking the time to make a nice comment. Thanks for watching.
Thank you soooo much for this - I could not have done it (at all) without you! Much appreciated :-)
Brilliant! Two Westlock door knobs now easily changed! Thank you sir.
+Heather Ferreira thank you for watching
Awesome man. You resolved my month old issue of replacing faulty lock. Thanks
Thanks! Super helpful today when changing knobs!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the advice of the towel in between the door! I would have locked myself in for sure! You made it so easy. Thank you!
Thank u so much.
Love yr jokes and the best - the recycling of items through recycling bin or garage sale. This will definitely save the earth.
beautifuldurian thank you so much. It is positive comments like yours that keeps me uploading more videos.
Thank you for the video. I was able to easily tighten my mom’s apartment door knob. I wasn’t sure how to get the damn thing off with no screws!
great educational and funny tutorial! 😂😎✌️
This is helpful thanks! Like the added bloopers at the end haha
Thank you so much, because of this video, I manage to change our doorknob. This has been a big help.
I love helping people, thank you for watching FROSTY Life. We have fun here.
