  • my 2 door knobs wont pull apart, its an old handle perhaps 10-20 years, got all screws undone and out, but they just wont come apart, any reason?

  • @danorambo - Check if there is a small rectangular hole on one of the door knobs. If there is, use a small screwdriver and poke it into this hole to release the door knob from the post.

  • What if there is a cover between the knob and the door preventing access to the screws, this is quite annoying.

  • Usually there is a small gap underneath the knob that you can insert a small common screwdriver into. With a quick twist you can pop off the door knob cover to get to the screws.

  • Sometimes the door knob can stick due to paint. You may need to hit it with the palm of your hand to loosen it.

  • I cant figure out how to get my old doorknob off, the handle is too wide to get a screw driver to the one's keeping the two half's in place any advice.

  • @dynocapone At first I wasn't sure how to put the thingy in the round part, but after a while you can get the trick. Just be sure not to stick the thingy in the bad round part!!
