Thanks for your video. My inside and outside will not retract the latch. I purchased a new one and the same thing happened after a couple of days. What am I doing wrong?
Not saying this is the reason, but: when installing, it 'is' possible to get the mechanism in a 'bind' while tightening the screws. I continually work the lever as I'm tightening the screws and if the latch refuses to retract, I back off the screws and try and reposition the handles.
Great tutorial! I’m having trouble removing my lock because the previous owners painted over the mechanics underneath it and basically sealed the parts into the door, any tips to unseal? I’m trying to avoid buying a whole new door 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks for commenting Ms.Gomez. Without seeing a pic, I'm kinda flying blind with my advice but: I'd start by using a box cutter or X-Acto type knife and carefully cutting around the perimeter of the lock. This should cut the paint away from the edge of the lock. If you can get one side off, you can take a rubber mallet and tap on the mechanics of the side you removed 'after' cutting around the perimeter of the other side with your box cutter, etc. Other tools that may work include a sharp putty knife, or a small flat jeweler's screwdriver. You might apply a small degree of heat using a hair dryer around the perimeter to make the old paint pliable.
1. You know you're old (AND STYLISH) when you wear penny loafers with tassels. 2. You know your house is old...and stylish...when it has a _solid_ brass (and thick) kick plate on the front door instead of one of those "brass" (i.e., coated aluminum) ultra-thin kick plates sold nowadays. Sigh...longing for the good ol' days.
You are correct. I have the same handleset upstairs that is older and it just has a screw with no cover. Hey, thanks for watching this video and great success in all your projects.
Well I wouldn’t say that at all. My point was, if it has a lifetime warranty, what’s the use of a repair. The repair would have been however; to build a new plate that had the wear marks on it ‘or’ spot weld the worn spots and grind it down level. Had it not been under warranty that would have been my move. Thanks for viewing.
Thank you for such a helpful step by step video.

@@PilotViewProductions thanks for the advice!
I guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online ?
@Phillip Manuel flixportal :P
@Talon Andre Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !

Guilty on both fronts.
Did you have to show proof of purchase or receipt to get the replacement?
Surprisingly no. Just declare that I was the homeowner and not a contractor.
TY! this helped alot!
Sure thing. Thanks for commenting
Does that bottom has a lock from inside ?
Not with a key, it just has the deadbolt
If you have an older Handleset, the cap over the lower screw, screws off, it doesn't pop off. You have to screw it off. I guess that was better?

Went too fast - I can’t even do initial disassembly
@@grahamluscombememories9897 Thanks. I would suggest hitting pause or rewatching as many times as necessary.
Ok ,so no way to fix just replace it
