No locksmiths answered my calls (weekend evening), and I had to cancel my plans, and then, I decided to watch your video. Problem solved... thanks!
Saved yourself about 150..200 buck!
Same!!
I'm doing the same
Right?
Cmon Jeffery what kind of man doesn’t know how to replace a deadbolt
i was waiting months for my landlord to change my locks not knowing it was so easy. sigh i’m a 20 year man who grew up with little to no male figure around. so im proud that i did this on my own thank you
Great work man!
Lost my amazing husband approximately 1 year ago and have had to learn to do things I never knew to do. Thank you for your excellent video. Took me two hours but I did it with a ton of prayer and a few expletives 😉
I DID IT!!
Sorry for your loss. And congrats on a job well done
So proud of you. I totally understand how intimidating it can be to try and learn how to do things like this on our own.
Wish me luck!! Mom of 2 venturing into This this week! 😅

Just changed my first set of door locks at 45yo. Out of all the vids yours was the best. Thanks for taking your time for the beginners.👍🏿
I have been changing locks since I was 10

Thanks so much! I told my boyfriend I could do this without his help and thanks to you I can!
I agree.. ty!!!!
Thanks Girl for giving me the inspiration to replace mine. I have never done it before nor seen it done. Going to try it by myself.

@@midnitemoon577 how did it go? I'm so nervous to try and replace my door knob & bolt by myself but I really want to.
@@OmANnIe Hi Annie! Well, so far I went to the hardware store and the staff at Ace was great. They showed me which doorknob set to buy and told me how to do it. They were male & encouraged me. They said girls can do this too, no problem! I haven't done it yet but will this week.
I needed to change my locks and have never done it before. Thank you for showing me just how easy it is and not be intimidated. 🎉
Got a quote of $250-300 to replace the door knob and deadlock. Then I found this video. I’m gonna try to do it myself to save that money for something else. Wish me luck❤😂
Did u do it
@@Fayw2023 yes, it worked well
So thankful for CZcams and this kind of video. I've repaired/replaced several things thanks to content like this. Closing on a house next week and I feel confident I can change the locks myself instead of hiring someone.
Awesome. And congrats on the house
You have the most at ease voice . Very very good video!!!!
Thank You So Much For This Detailed Video!! My husband was lazy getting it done Sooo I did it!! 😊
Thank you for this awesome video. The printed instructions are usually not clear. I had to change the deadbolt set when the lock on the knob was sticking and not working consistently. As a single woman I am happy and proud when I can do these things myself! Appreciate your video to help us get our projects done!
This video great tutorial!! Had to change a locks sets this morning. Took me 25 mins. Very detailed and answered all m questions.
Thank you. Your instructions are precise and your voice is like honey. I did it myself after watching your tutorial.
Followed instructions, got a new lock on my door 🎉😊
Thank you, I just replaced my exterior door knob following your video, well explained .
Thank you so much! Just purchased my first home and I have no idea how to do a lot of things but I’m learning, your video was so clear and easy to understand and follow. Thank you!
Thanks so much. I was able to do it myself with your help. I had to re-watch a couple times, but I did it.
I'm a 32 year old man watching this🥴. Thank you for the tutorial
I made this video when I was 33
@@Howfinity , lol. I just replaced my door knows and dead bolts all thanks to your video.
Thank you for the video, I was able to do this on my own today!
My wife and I have closed on our first house and move in less than a week and we want to change the locks. This made it seem very doable and will be referring to this video when the tike comes
Thank you for this easy to understand video!!
SheDoes ItAll very welcome. This was one of my first videos! I think it’s 500 videos ago 😳
I'm embarrassed to admit that after SEVERAL HOURS of not getting it right, I came here...
Just know you really helped...
I just have to say thank you so much for this video! I just replaced my entire lock and was so close to having a locksmith come out. This video was so helpful!
You're very welcome!
Quick and easy, I managed to put in my Deadbolt in only a few minutes. Thank you for the Detailed & Informative Tutorial. 🙇🏿♂️🙆🏻♀️
Thank you so much. A locksmith wanted nearly $300 to do this same job. Good thing I watched this video and saw how easily I could do it myself. Money is tight these days.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I thought I needed this video, but after watching it, I realize even a baboon can do this. But thanks for such a great video with simple instructions. 👍🏻
Thank you! I just changed all the hardware on my exterior doors and this video really helped :)
Thank you so much for your video!!! I was able to change my locks successfully!
Your calm explanation makes me think I can do this.
I had a deadbolt rekeyed. After I re-installed it, the key would not come out after locking it. I watched your video and now it is installed correctly. My sincere thanks!
Thank you for making this video I changed my locks easy without looking in the manual.
Thank you, I think that I can do this!! You just saved me a lot of money!!
Great vid. Very easy to follow. God bless.
Thank you. You made that look easy. The issue I’m having is that the door attachment is not the same size. I’m guessing I need to chisel the wood to make it fit. Got any tips for me on that?
Thanks again I think I can do this.
Thank you ! Very helpful.
Thanks for posting your video. Just changed my first exterior door handle. Your instructions were great!
Thank you for the video. At least now I have an idea how to install it on my house... I was gonna hire a guy.. but then again why waste money. I'ma try it myself... Thanks.
Thank you it was very helpful
You are a life saver! I installed my first today! You made it so easy! Thank you! : )
Thank you for a very helpful, straight to the point video. Appreciate this so much!!
Thank you sir for 80$ saved today.
This was clear and concise
Thank you so much!!
Well the main things I was looking for wasn't even mentioned but it still helped
Looks like you can see through wood cause I could not get the screws on the lower handle to align. And I also tried the long setting.
I had the same problem yesterday.
I’m having that problem right now. I’ve re installed and uninstalled it so many times and every time it doesn’t line up.
Thank you!!!
If you are really lazy, you can buy another house 😅
So I didn’t pressed in when I switch my doorknob is this why when I locked my door it’s horizontal and when it’s open it’s vertical ???
Thank you so much
Havent got my set yet but it seems so easy thamks for this video
Thank you Sir
Thanks!! Perfect explanation 👍🏼
Thank you so much. Really appreciate this. Unrelated note, you sound like someone I know (he’s clearly not you. However, same voice tone and accent). He’ll get a kick out of this video.
WOW! Thank you so much. Thats an awesome video. Very direct and easy to follow. Suscibed.
Thank you for the video! Any tips on the inside lock turner being stiff or not working?
So very helpful! Thank you so much 😊
Thanks
Thanks Coach.
Great instructions. Very easy to follow!
Thanks for the tutorial!
GReat video , It helped me totally .thank you.
Thanks,
Helpful
Great! Might as well lubricate with a dry graphite before final assembly..
Awesome, thanks
Thank you! I actually did it!
Your video is excellent. Thank you
Thank you so much 👍🇱🇧 🇺🇸
Thank you
If your watching this that means you are a dad
Good job 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😄 😀
Is there a trick to lining up the bolts on the door knob
I need 2 do this on 3 of my doors! Thx :-)
I always use longer screws than what comes in the set.
Looks super easy!!! Ty
Thank you, think I can follow this! However, last time someone tried to do this for me, the lock was upside down. I now have a tool you use somehow to move keyhole around... how do you do that? thank you.
does it come with new keys?
Is this video by Mark Ruffalo? Sounds like him. Lol
Will it work on a bedroom door?
The knob/locking portion came off right away, but the old deadbolt where the key goes with the spoke that goes into the hole wouldn't separate from the mechanism or the door. I think it's just old and stuck and if I whack it with a hammer it should come out, but I was wondering if that sound right before I hit anything. Can someone help?
You actually should have used that new deadbolt plate with the 4 screws 2 regular screws and 2 long security screws
I’m guessing the knobs and deadbolts come with a key?
My doorknob lock seems upside down from the deadbolt lock but it doesn’t fit if I try to do it the other way. Now instead of putting the key in the deadbolt and straight to the doorknob, I have to turn the key upside down🤷🏾♀️
We are unable to remove the lock after removing the front and back knobs. The lock spins in place, but does not slide out. It’s the Defiant door lock and deadbolt.
Well looks like I know what I'm doing tomorrow
This video made me way too confident lol. My knob is in the right place but it’s not locking. Omg help me 😔😔😔
OK IF you buy a "kwikset". Not so much for any other brand
Be honest, who came up here to see how to replace your own door knob cuz you didn’t know how to. 🙋🏽♂️
Why wouldn't you explain the complications of when the inside door knob want just slide on and then the problem with lining the holes together. I wish I would have never saw this video and just paid someone to do it for me you made it look so easy like I could really do it but you didn't explain everything
👍🏾
If the new knob was put into an ass (mine) for a period of 5 hours is it still okay to use as a normal door knob?
Stay away from skechers.
Hardest thing to do in life
This did not help me not to be mean but it was useful to me but I will like and subscribe
🤦🏾♀️
As a man I’m ashamed that I had to watch this video
Splendidly to see Woodprix have new plans which helped me save some money and energy for this construction.
Why did you change the lock?
The old one looked okay.
That was a waste of money.
You must have money to burn 🔥🔥🔥
