    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!👍

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.

    Thank you so much. This video helped me put all the new door knobs in my house. Seeing it being done is much more helpful that the instructions you get with it.
