    Oh my gosh, my bedroom door knob quit on me. I’m 67 and lost my husband this year. Thanks to this young man, I have a new door knob and did it all myself. Yeaaaa.

    I was a bit nervous to replace my door knob, but your video has shown me that it isn't as difficult as I feared. Not to mention it is a whole lot easier to understand than those instructions that come with the knobs. Your tutorial may have been posted 9 years ago, but is still helpful today. Thank you.

    My biggest regret in life is that I never paid attention to my father when he did everything around the house. With his 8th grade education, he could build or fix anything. Watching your video allowed ME to do this task! Loved that you spoke slowly and clearly through every step, and I did it! I was very proud of myself. Thank you again!👍

    I agree with others who’ve posted. Thank you so much! I haven’t had to do this in a long time and you’ve made it super simple. Our doorknob going into our garage has gotten tweaked. It only turns to the right which is frustrating so I’m taking it apart. If I cannot get it lined to make it happy, I’ll just replace it thanks to your video. So although you did this 10 years ago, thank you!!! It’s still useful in February 2024!!🎉😂

    Thanks so much for being so clear and precise and easy to follow! I was leery to try this because years ago I had tried to replace a doorknob and things didn't line up right and it didn't go well, but your video gave me confidence to try and it worked out great! Thank you!

    Thank you for a terrific how to video. I'm 75 and just ordered a new knob from Amazon. I was going to have my neighbor put it on for me... But after watching your video I'm pretty sure I can do it myself. Thanks sweetie!

    As a widow, I can't thank you enough. I was able to change all my door knobs myself! Thank you for teaching this older dog new tricks!

    Definitely helped me. Thanks. I fixed it myself (after watching this video) after it came apart. I had to do more than you showed here, but you gave me what I needed to know and learned something today. The rest was me having to problem solve. 👍

    Thanks dude. Incredibly easy to follow along and much better than paper instructions. Even had really good tips that corrected something before I made a mistake. Well done.

    Thanks! I put on a new door knob because of you. I had to use the old door jamb mechanism because my father painted over the strike plate. Didn’t want to ruin the door trying to get it off. Fortunately it’s universal like you said. 👍
