Lea/Leah THANK you for your video. Your voice is so kind and relaxing. I am a new homeowner and have to change my locks today. I am SO happy I came across YOU. I appreciate your tone and DETAIL. Those little things you mentioned are a BIG deal to me. I have subscribed because I feel Might be pulling your channel up often. I have to change the overhead fan in the bathroom soon. Gotta get past the door knob first. 😂. After watching this I feel less stressed about it. Thank you ♥️
Putting a lock on my bedroom door this weekend to keep my nosey roommates out! Thank you for the video!
I trust my roommate, but not the people she brings over
Me too!
I’m going out of town and I don’t trust my roommates .. soo lol
In ALL the supposed 'professional' videos I watched before finding your video, NOT one of those mentioned the beveled edge. One video installed it backwards. I looked at the manual that shows bevel out. Thank you for teaching us the RIGHT way to install this knob!!
Thank you Leah! Was able to do this and put in a deadbolt today.
One trick I can share that helped me during that last tricky part of aligning the screws of the interior knob to the exterior knob was to secure the exterior knob in the right position with painter's tape. Like having an extra pair of hands to hold it still. Made all the difference!
One of the best DIY videos I've watched. Everything is explained simply yet thoroughly, in a clear unaccented voice. Thank you!
Short, sweet, to the point, and includes the “watch out for this & that” parts.
T H O S E are the little aggravating parts of installation that makes people chuck tools/parts against the wall damaging sheetrock which adds more time & money to the job- LOL

Leah also has a video on how to repair sheetrock, she thinks of everything 🤭
Thankyou so much, my husband passed away 3 years ago and I have attempted with success a bunch of DIY but this one was a first, and thanks to you I have a nice new doorknob intact, and it works!
Thank you. The "pro" who installed my new door and doorknob obviously didn't make sure to get the screws in the holes because my doorknob came off in my hands. I am not a handy person, but your video helped me get the job done. Thank you!
Thanks for refreshing my memory. I knew if I looked it up on your channel I would remember the steps to replacing my door knob and quit stressing over it. Yes I can do this!!!
yes, you can!!
searched for how to install Home Depot Defiant Doorknob, saw Leah of See Jane Drill, clicked!! Always a pleasure to watch your videos Leah, thank you so much!!
thanks Bruce
Awesome the introductions you gave helped a single girl change the door knob to her 90 year old dads house! Thank you!!
This was incredibly informative. So much better than trying to decipher the instructions that came with the door handle. Especially the part about the beveled edge. You're awesome!
Thank you! nine years old but your instructions helped me!!! I had the bevel thing in the wrong way! Fixed thanks again!
You are an AWESOME lady! Thank you for this WONDERFUL tutorial! My wife is an Electrician along with myself and I'm ALWAYS happy to see more women doing construction and/or home remodeling breaking out of old stereotypes and showing us guys just how to git er done! Thank you Ma'am!

Good job on explaining the backset and that hole that has to be perfectly centered in the middle of the doorknob. Thank you.
This was one of the better tutorials for installing a new door knob set that I've seen. Subscribed.
I love the way you explain things! Thank you!!!💯👌🏾👍🏾
You instructed clearly and kindly, and empowered me : ) I had a feeling I knew how to do it, but your video confirmed it. I do suggest you put a flashlight on your next video as this one is very dark. Otherwise good video!
Thanks Mike. You're right the light was an issue.
I didn't think I could do it but I watched your video and I installed a key door knob all on my own thank you!!
To the points, solved my problem. My late hubby would be so proud of me. Thanks to you and all the you CZcamsrs sharing your talents and ideas. Again Thank you. ..My door is now operational.
I was putting a door knob back on that had come apart when the screws worked loose. I had been using it with one screw for months because I never could get that second screw lined up. Needless to say, the knob kept falling off. I watched your video, took a deep breath, and miracle of miracles I got both screws in and tightened! It works again! Thank you for simple instructions that gave me the courage to try one last time.
I love you Jane! The 1st 4 vids I watched never addressed how to do the back set adjustment to get the square hole in center. That was my problem and I've been fussing with it for 20 minutes. I appreciate you!
Thank you very much. I tried and tried to install a door handle this evening and I didn’t realize that it would slide over for the 2 3/4 position to center the holes. You’re a lifesaver
Thank you so much! With your helpful hints, it took less than 5 minutes to swap out my old locking doorknob for a new one. It was so easy!
Your videos are always helpful and easy to follow! Used your "How to fix a screen door" video this past summer and now this one! Thanks.
Hey Leah. I heard your voice begin these instructions and recognized it instantly (this is Cassandra). It's so cool to know you are making these videos. I just installed my first door knob following you step by step and will definitely find your videos when we do more DIY stuff. Thank you very much. Take care.
You're very welcome, Cassandra. Glad to be of help!
Thanks a lot! I was nervous to take apart a doorknob in case I couldn't put it back together, but with your clear instructions, I felt confident enough to do it.
Thanks for such clear & simple directions! Being ridiculously broke means I gotta be a successful DIYer whether I want to or not (really, I do; it gave me SUCH a buzz when I fixed my dryer, esp after my neighbor swore if he couldn't figure it out, I'd sure never be able to...HA HA HA). So after the dryer,the doorknob seemed like it oughta be cake. It was, thanks in part to you, esp the "obvious" reminders that could be easy to forget (like which side the beveled part aims)...and would mean that I'd have had to redo the whole thing if I'd gotten it backwards, & that would've been hard to do while slapping myself in the forehead the whole time.
So: locksmith charge would've been $175. My cost: 8.95 for the new doorknob kit, 10 minutes' effort (not counting the vid). Another HAHAHA to the world, and thank you again!! I'll come here first next time I have to fix anything. I put your link on my Fb page too, which means that all 3 people who look at it occasionally may be coming here ;-) You may want to prepare your server for the flood.
Bless you, SJD!
+Kelly Howard Thanks, Kelly, and way to go on completing your dryer and doorknob projects! We're glad to have been of help. :)
Thank you so very much for this video as your directions were easy to follow. My wife and I are retired and are on a very tight budget and you and your videos have saved us a lot of money. We truly appreciate what you do. take care, Steve and Jayne
Thanks, Steve and Jayne, I appreciate hearing from you!
Hi Leah: I installed two new key locks per your video instructions. I have two questions. Should the key be inserted upside down to open the door? On the inside of the door lock should the door lock button be horizontal in the locked position or straight up and down in the locked position? Thanks in advance, Steve and Jayne
thank you so much! You made it very easy and simple and I didn't have to watch a 20-minute video to do something so simple ❤🤗
You made the instructions clear and simple. It was easier than I thought. I feel good about doing it myself while watching you. Thank you much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your easy explanation of how to install a keyed entry door knob. I was so proud of myself when the job was done. Perfect video & instructions.
Your instructional vids are wonderful! When I retired I bought an older mobile home lakeside - I'm loving it, but there is so much repair work to do to the home. Your clearly spoken DIY vids have solved more than a few of my troubles - and with your help I don't need to call a handyman - I GOT THIS! Thanks Much!
+Granny Marcia you're very welcome, Marcia, glad to be of help!
I'm a guy and am not real mechanically inclined so I really appreciate you stating which side the lock goes on becuz my lock was opposite yours so I had to see if I flipped it that it would still work opposite the beveled part...it did . You laughed as you pointed it out but understand, the little details you point out help all of your listeners. Thanks again
Excellent, very clear and very simple. Thanks Leah, and seejanedrill.
Another great video, Leah, thank you! Question: how do I change the lock orientation on a keyed door knob from horizontal being locked to vertical being locked?
Watching after a failed attempt earlier today going to try again tomorrow with these new tips. Thank you!
I love your videos! You don't wing it and figure it out as you go, you are showing how to do it! Thank you!!
I'm always happy when I find your videos to help me around the house 😁😊
You Rock 👏!! I'm a landlord and own several properties. No more handyman!!
I just replaced my bedroom doorknob while watching this video. Hahaha *evil laugh* towards my niece who prefers my bathroom to the hallway bathroom. Aaaall mine 😭😂😂
Changed my door knob to keyed today after watching your video- thank you!!
Thank you . I'm an older lady and I just changed my kitchen doorknobs with lock and key. I saved $70. Thanks again.
Hey Karen, way to go!! You did it. 👍
Thanks for the video. I was having a hell of a time installing new door knobs in our home, but you have answered a number of questions I had. Thankyou.
glad to have helped
Excellent video. Especially like the closeups and detailed explanations. Nothing left to chance is a good thing. Thanks.
Great video! It was thorough yet short which allowed me to follow along at my pace. 👍🏻
Thank you Leah for the detailed instructions! (I have a feeling you'd be a great instructor :-) )
you're welcome, Ali!
she has a news reporter voice - really felt like I was watching the news for a second
Thank you for easy directions! I needed a refresher course as I forgot how to install them. Your a life saver!. thank you
My doorknob just came off in my hand! It's about 10 below zero right now - so fun! It's duct taped for now and my deadbolt is on but first thing in the morning I'll head to the hardware store and with the help of this video I'm sure I'll be all set! Thanks so much!
brrrrrrrrrrr, good luck with your project
Thank you for explaining this so thoroughly! I had to learn how to and install a new door knob at 5am!
Kristen C You're welcome, Kristen, and I'm glad it was helpful to you! :)
Oh My God! The latch bolt is adjustable!!!!!! I tried for days with out a door lock so I youtubed this. After the video it took about two minutes. OMG thank you! The lock smith I cancelled wanted $300 just to come out on the Holiday weekend.
you're very welcome, glad it was helpful!
Thank you! As a first time single woman home owner you helped me accomplish my first job on my own. You're awesome!
Jonna Kaatz Way to go, Jonna! That is great to hear. :)
Great video , thank you for all the details and info on how to do this -- I will soon be putting in a few new doorknobs ( lock an key ) appreciate the helpful tips !!
Thank you Jane for making yet another home job look easy!
Thank you for the wonderful video. I am planning on replacing my door knobs. The current ones don't fit with my color scheme. I would also like to switch out the hinges, and the thing on the door frame that accepts the latch (not sure what that's called). Are they pretty standard size? Will doing so make it so the door no longer fits and closes correctly?
Very detailed without being overwhelming. Leaves nothing unanswered. Thanks Leah!
you're welcome, glad it was helpful!
What a great video! I was curious about one part and ended up watching the whole thing! Now my garage door has new hardware
This really helped thanks! I was putting a new knob on for my mom. I know generally how it goes but the dumb thing didn't come with instructions. I found you and you let me know what i needed. That the slanted part faces out. That's the part i was unsure about. With your help i was able to install it with confidence! Thanks!
fantastic, you did it. Way to go!
Excellent instructor. So clear, concise verbal and video instructing. Thank you!
Thank You! I had given up last night. I watched your video and got it done right away!! Thanks@
This video makes it clear what needs to be done. The video has some focusing issues, but the process is simple enough to understand. Thanks.
That you Leah! Your videos are so helpful.
Thank you so much! This 64 yr old lady did it no problem with your great instruction!
Leah~this was so easy and non-threatening. Thanks so much. Love your awesome video!
Christina MacLeod You're welcome, Christina! Glad it was helpful.
Excellent video, nice and concise! Thanks for showing how simple it is!
Thanks so much for posting this video! I currently live with my boyfriend and his family and his younger brother has a habit of stealing our things. I'm going to see if we'll be allowed to install a lock handle on our bedroom door and if we can, I'm sure I'll be back watching this video! Very informative, thank you~
cottoncritter You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful!
Literally the most informative video. And now i will give it a try
One thing to note is that the bevel shouldn't necessarily face the exterior. I did that at first and it didn't work and I had to restart. It needs to face whichever way the door closes. Typically, doors open inwards, but if you have a door that opens outward and closes inward (like I do) then the bevel will be facing the wrong way and the door won't latch. Other than that, great tutorial!
Thank you! Detailed explanation. I thought I knew how to,your video gave me the courage to do so.
Awesome and to the point! Going to be changing the door knobs on my new house tomorrow!!
If you were here, I’d hug you! The instructions that came with my Kwikset door set only confused me. After 45 minutes of cursing like a sailor, I threw the instructions away and then thought I’d check your channel for some information. Sure enough, your tip on adjusting the center did the trick. In 7 minutes of watching your video.....door knobs were on and working! I love your channel. You have given me confidence to try to fix or do things myself. THANK YOU!!!!!
Nice!👍 Good luck with future projects.
This is a very informative video for a simple task that still undoubtedly trips up many people. Thank you!
you're very welcome!
Thanks! My instructions were wrong and referred to the bolts as wood screws and the need for pilot wholes. It threw me totally off and I thought I need to screw the inside knob into wood. Once I watched your video it was clear what needed to be done. I just got to remember to come looking for your video(s) sooner ;)
The most helpful video! Thank you so much!
Thanks heaps. I have to put in a new door lock to keep my landlord out. After watching this I have the can do groove. Across in Australia :) Great video, short & so easily explained. Great Job!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation on adjusting the center of the lock
Thank you so much for this video! It really was a godsend. Made the process so much easier.
This was so concise and helpful! I appreciate you ☺️
I really love your video... straight forward n easy to understand....thks from Singapore
Thank you! This was exactly the kind of instruction I needed to install my new (and now LOCKING) doorknob.
You make it look so easy! I will be reporting back later tonight to say if it truly is as easy as you made it seem...
Thanks Jane. Just thought I had to return a lock back to the store.
Terrific video, really explained everything perfectly.. Thank you.
I read the included instructions and was like, "What???". Found this video and it made it easy peasy. I installed it for my sister and she said I'm like her new Property Brother lol! Thanks!
Thank you so much Jane! I was able to do it. It was super easy!
Love your video’s. Thank you Jane
Thank you Leah for making it easy. I just changed my knob & dead bolt. The dead bolt feels a bit hard when I turned the key, would it be cause is new? thank and keep them videos coming.
+andygomez416 It sounds like the latch hole might be just slightly off, which would be causing the resistance. But it will get easier over time.
Yes I can do it 🤗 Thank you Leah!!
Thank you, so much. where do I send my hug? You’re the best.
Can you adjust the barrel to decide if you want lock to be turned clockwise or counterclockwise?
Thank you. I followed your directions precisely and it was a piece of cake.
Very well made informative and easy to follow video.
Great job !
That was bloody fantastic! Thanks very much!
Such a big help!!! Thank you so much!!!!!🎉
Jane thank you very much. You explained everything perfectly. I ran into some problems but not because of yours instructions as they were perfect. My issue was 2 fold. 1st since I was changing my br door from an indoor lockable to a keyed entry the design was slightly different. long story short I basically just had to modify the holes to fit the cylinder and create an inlay for the cylinder plate. I think that's what it's called I'm not sure but you probably know what I mean but your instructions gave me the basics to be confident in taking on the task so thank you very much.
+John Garcias you're very welcome, John, glad to be of help!
thanks!!! house is secure tonight! Great easy explanation.
I just installed a new door knob in my room thanks to you! 😊❤️
Thanks so much. My key broke in my lock today. I had never replaced a lock before. I watched your video and it made the process easy. Thanks again for sharing.
you're welcome, glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I have to do this today. But I think the long screws are recommended for the plate so it's harder to kick in.
Good luck with your project!
