    Great video. I had a question. What size do the hole's need to be for the 2nd one in this video? The push button one? The directions don't say anything about the size of the hole's they just say drill holes. Do they have to be the size of the one's on that door your showing or do I just drill normal holes? And do I drill through the storm door from the inside to the outside? Or outside to inside? I would greatly appreciate it thanks.

    • @homemend
      @homemend  4 роки тому

      Hey ray. Great questions. Just big enough for the post to go through. The drill template that comes with the handle should say on the template. 5/16? Also. Drill though either side I like to start with a small bit and drill all the way through as a pilot then drill the correct size hole. You got this!

    Please help. I can't turn my lock knob because it won't go over all the way. It's too close to the frame I think. Any suggestions?

    • @homemend
      @homemend  Рік тому

      Hey Danielle, yes definitely if it won’t go in all the way, then you may need to drill out the place where it goes. Maybe some of the jamb is preventing it from opening all the way. I hope this helps.

    Looking for some help. I have a push-button style. Almost exactly like the 2nd one in this video. Only difference is, it has a lock/key. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the silver part that the key goes in, doesn't stay in... Any suggestions?

      Hey kcif it’s old and worn out it may not be able to tighten down, otherwise tighten the setscrew to secure the handle. As a last resort you could always pop some liquid nail inside the handle and said it that way. I hope this helps
