I want to thank you so much for this detailed video. You are a very good teacher. I'm a first-year widow trying to be my own handy-person and I was able to smoothly fix my existing front door handle by following this video!
I’m the world’s un-handiest dude. The thumb latch fell off my knob, so I started unscrewing pieces hoping an easy solution would reveal itself. Instead, parts rained down onto the floor. I thought, well, there’s a couple hundred bucks out the door for a locksmith call. But your video saved me! Everything fit back together perfectly as you showed, and the knob works as new. Thank you!
Thank you! After 30 minutes of cussing and swearing, I consulted the UA-cam manual and your video was the first search result. Your video was detailed and the door was back together in no time after watching. Thanks again!
Your video and explanation was the BEST. I was able to follow your CLEAR instructions and fix my door handle. WOOOOO WOOOOOO - Saved me $145.00 on a new set
AAA++++++++!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Saw few vids on this, but yours laid the parts out the best. Very organized! My lock fell apart so I could not see the order of re-assembly until I watched your video! you ROCK!
I was ready to buy another handle/door latch because it fell apart before I could see how it was put together. Kwiksets support sucks. Your video saved me money and frustration. Thank you, so much!
I want to thank you for creating this video. I spent two hours trying to piece things back together (the two smaller screws holding the mechanism were off) and after watching this, it took me less than 5 minutes to have it all back together and working. Thanks so much.
I was about to call a handyman or locksmith and after watching this I was able to fix my door handle in less than 10 minutes. Very well done. Thank you!
Thanks for the informative video, you saved me money, I didn't have to call a locksmith. The exterior portion of my door handle had come totally apart, now it's fixed and working like new.
My handset fell while I was taking it off for a repair, and all the parts came off the internal mechanism 🤦🏼♀️. This video helped me get it back together and finish the repair. Appreciated how you had everything laid out in order first. 👍🏻 Your instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Thank you ! I was able to put my door back together after watching a ton of videos yours was the one that I could understand and follow. Thank you so much !
THANKS A LOT! I watched several videos trying to figure how to put the handle internal parts back together since it literally fell off from my door and all the internal pieces fell off all over. I sat down about 1 hour trying to figure what goes where and how then I watched many tutorial videos and none helped my case till I found yours. Your video is very detailed and dummy proof so thanks to you my door handle looks like a professional installed back.
Thank you so much! My inside knob fell off in my hand and the little screws that hold the plate over the spring fell out of the hole. I am a single parent and your video made it possible for me to take the outside handle off and put it all back together. I have never seen a door handle or lock set apart before. This was a lifesaver for me and my front door. Thanks again for the awesome instruction and explanation. Greetings from Florida!
This is the exact handle that I have and was at wits end and very frustrated as finding clear direction failed every which way from Tuesday. Your step by step reassemble saved my butt. Like some others mine hit the floor and parts everywhere. So thanks for you clear instruction video. Awesome
Thank you so much. I have a Baldwin Handleset where the lever stopped pulling the latch back, and when I took it off the door the pieces went everywhere. Since these pieces are pre-assembled at the factory, the installation instructions were no help. I was able to figure out where every piece went except for that darn large spring. Your video saved the day. Thanks again!!
I found this video today, 5/30/20, and you just saved me. I am not very handy, but your video helped me fix our door handle and I feel compelled to let you know. Thank you for posting this! Two years after you uploaded it, you helped me! Thank you!
as others have said - thank you SO MUCH for this video! My kwikset came completely apart and I had not the slightest idea of how to put it back together. Your video was clear and simple and step by step and really saved the day for me! Thank you!
Very helpful. It was exactly what we needed. We followed the instructions and did it. The only thing needs to know your door direction. If it’s opposite then the half moon direction needs to be opposite as well. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your step by step instructions. My half moon was on the opposite side but with your wonderful video I was able to figure it out. Saved me a call to the locksmith.
Thank you so much! Instructions were clear and you weren’t going so fast that we couldn’t pause in between steps. Fixed the handle and it’s better than it was! Thumbs up!
Thank you so much for your step by step instructions. My half moon was on the opposite side but with wonderful video I was able to figure it out. Saved me a call to the locksmith.
I can't thank you enough for this video!! My daughter's friend broke the handle, pieces went everywhere and it was almost dark outside. This video saved me lots of time and frustration. Thank you!!!
This is why I love UA-cam ! I noticed my out side thumb lever was laying down so I took off handle and all the pieces went everywhere. I had no paperwork on it and your video made it a three min fix. Thank you very much
Thank you, Thank you for showing exactly how to put it back together! I couldn’t figure out where the spring went! Mine fell off and pieces went everywhere as well! This house is only 3 yrs old...unbelievable this already happened..
The handle on my Kwikset front door lock, fell off when I opened the door. Everything else remained in place. I could see the set screw, but wasn't sure what it did. It seems kinda obvious now that I watched the video. So I did a search (for exactly what the title of your video is) and got my answer at about 5:30. So glad I didn't have to go the Lowe's and look for ..., something?? to fix it. All I needed was a 3/32 allen wrench. Thank you!
Thank you!!! My doorknob inside my house has been off for a week now. I could not figure out how to fix it. Your video showed me how to tighten the set screw to bring it out to hold the knob in place. It took me literally 15 seconds to fix it.
Thank you so much! You saved me from having to call a locksmith! Mine was exactly like this and the little screw inside had come out. I dropped all the pieces and I didn't know how they went back together.
Thank you so much! Had exactly that same problem with my Kwikset. Everything worked just as you showed! I did have a pin that held the lever, but figured that out. Again, thanks so MUCH!
Can I find the piece that you picked up at 1:40 into the video at a store? The metal on mine that that screws hold it down have broken off where both the screws go into that part. I just need to find that part and I can fix my door. I can't seem to find that part (5014868) on Kwiksets site or anywhere else on the internet. Frustrating! Do you have nay suggestions? Thank you!
Does anyone know where I can buy these parts? I have a steel door so when the inner mechanism came apart it all fell down into the door, I was only able to pull up the metal parts with a long magnet but not the plastic gear. Also, the brass looking plate that holds everything down has only one complete hole to hold it down. So basically I need the plastic gear and a new plate.
Help!!!! My handle fell off like this (everything still intact) but I can't get it to go back together. Both curved parts are on the opening side and I can get it through the latch part but it's as if the handle side curvy half-moon part is too long by about 1/4 inch. What am I doing wrong?
so my Trigger fell off.. I'm assuming the Pin came out- and i can't find it anywhere...So i need to locate the PIN or figure out something else to replace it with..
For the past several days our front door has been faltering. In my usual solution, I tried to ignore it, with hopes it would fix itself. But increasingly, the outside latch was not going up & down properly, sometimes not moving at all, essentially keeping anyone from entering; this afternoon, my wife heard our six year old daughter crying at the front door because she couldn’t figure out how to get inside. This evening on the way out for our walk, my wife said that she will try to find and pick up a new door assembly tomorrow. It typical fashion I told her something like, “you don’t know it’s broken, for sure!”. After a she was frustrated with me about something different during conversation on our walk, she stood at the front door trying to unsuccessfully open the door, yanked it hard, and pulling the handle off the door, with guts of the assembly falling to the ground. She said, now it’s broken, for sure, as she stepped over the mess entering the house. Of course, I put on my stubborn fix-it hat. I think I am a fix-it-man, but I’m not; proven by my wife firing me from quite a few simple household repair jobs by calling a professional. In any case, I managed to disassemble the door assembly; nothing appeared broken; but I could not figure out how to reassemble it. I found your video and soon, the door was back functioning. Thank you for the video; for the way you laid out the parts, in order of assembly (initially, I was missing the inside spring; thanks for pointing out its importance!); thank you, for the tip about lock-tite for the inside, small screws, as one of them had come off, and the interior assembly was not functioning properly as a result. Thank you, for the simple, easy-to-understand steps. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
I want to thank you so much for this detailed video. You are a very good teacher. I'm a first-year widow trying to be my own handy-person and I was able to smoothly fix my existing front door handle by following this video!

I know it has been a long time since you made this video, but I just rebuilt my door because of it! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!! Took me 2 views and about 10 minutes total! This is exactly what I needed to see and saved me $175 from a locksmith!
i have 3 of these locks, first time it happened took several hours, thanks to your "how too" this time I fixed the lock within 20 minutes. Thanks you.

Thank you, Thank you for showing exactly how to put it back together! I couldn’t figure out where the spring went! Mine fell off and pieces went everywhere as well! This house is only 3 yrs old...unbelievable this already happened..
Thank you. Mine lost a screw on the inside, and once I took it apart, I couldn’t get it back together without instructions. You really helped.

Thank you sooo much! Not what I wanted to do on Halloween night, but this video made it a smooth job!
Say if you don't have the lever door handle can you buy an inside one that will work with that piece that has the long handle?
Perfect, thank you. Mine fell off and peices went everywhere.
Literally everywhere
I’m look for the screw plate that u put on the long handle at the beginning. Where my small screw goes in the corner broken off. Any inf would help
