There's a couple things that are easy to mess up when it comes to removing door knobs: the paint on the door and the latch. I'll show you how to avoid both those!

The bloopers are the best. Videos like theses sometimes make people feel like even the pros don't make mistakes! Everyone makes mistakes. This helps people gain confidence in trying it themselves!
I'm not a diy'r but I did this in way less than 25 sec.! the other videos had too much verbiage... yours was succint & clear cut. thank you very much!
LOVING THE BLOOPERS!!! They're the best!!!! 🤣🥰
Thanks Zanna:)
Thank you! Omg I am trying to get this 35 yr old doorknob out and the mechanism inside wasn’t budging. You are going to be saving me lots of time because I have new ones for the whole house coming in. Thanks!
Short, sweet and informative. Thanks!
When snapping that little plate off with the tiny screwdriver - I put either a credit card or cardstock under the bit before snapping it.
It works pretty well.
I found you can quickly wrap painters tape around it. The whole way and just pull it off
Great video! I was replacing 3 standard closet doorknobs and was STRUGGLING with the first one. I couldn’t figure out how to get the original knobs off. After an hour of trying, I had an epiphany and decided to go to UA-cam. Clicked on your video and had the knob off in less than 2 minutes. Then the other 2 went even faster. 28 seconds was about right. Thanks for the tutorial…you saved me an entire afternoon of cursing, door-busting, and injuries.
Thank you! Been looking a half hour to find someone to tell me how to pop out these drive in collars!!! Ton telling me how to put them in but this was the first. Thanks!
Looks easy... IF there is a release mechanism. All I see is an impossibly tiny hole that does nothing when I insert a skinny nail.
same, did u ever fix it?
Perfect vid!! Thank you!
When the the Funny Carpenter endorses you as the "door knob guy", you just hope it's not an April Fool's joke 😆 Good Tips on the removal side!
🍻you had a good concise video on the installation and I needed a placeholder until I paint my door and put the knob back on:)
You had me at release button ❤
Thank you very much! Saved me a lot of headache 😃
Great tips!
Thank you for your helpful that help me alot❤
Thank you so much
Tysm!!! 😊

You are a lifesaver!
THANK YOU!!!!
Awesome technician
That knob looks well-polished.
Great video bud!! Some really great tips as always😉 have a great weekend bud!🍻
Thanks Rushill, hope alls well with you buddy🍻
Thanks
You are the best!!!
In the step where you inserted a screwdriver through the latch hole in order to pull out the latch, in my case the latch hole contains a white plastic part (and the part's hole is square-shaped). Do I need to find a way to remove that plastic part (before using the screwdriver to pull on what remains)?
thanks for the great instructions..got the old handle off...but...the hole was a hair too small for the thingy so i have to rasp it to get it in...nothing is ever simple lol,,i have subbed your channel because im just an old home owner that likes to learn to do things myself first before asking for help...only thing i wont mess with at this point in anything electrical lol...
All my knobs are coming off, being donated to Habitat ReStore, and new lever handles put on…how exciting!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any tips, that plate won’t budge at all I was hoping for that great popping sound? Am sure paint and years keeping it in. Thanks
Thnxk ma man.😁😁
What about leaving the internal components in the door and just removing the knobs? you could even tape over the metal that protrudes on the edge. Thoughts?
Dang, I think you set a record with that time!! Hahah
😂it’s amazing what years of tool use can do.
How to get the latch out of the door is locked ?
I'm on hour 2 trying to get the latch mechanism out, you make it look super easy but it isnt on mine
Two observations after having removed dozens of doorknobs for painting door/spray painting the doorknob in the 11 houses I’ve owned: I’ve not once run into a knob with a front release mechanism, and never bent any part of the mechanism on removal or install. Weird! 🤔
The two screws that hold the inner plate don't have to be unscrewed completely - they only need to be loosened and the plate can rotate (it has key-hole slots).
there should be a diy contests of who can take put dporknobs & what-not the fastest...u get like say 2 grand @ the end if ir the fastest one...
What about a closed door that got stuck closed and the nob is gone its just the internal piece?
Hey I’m trying to replace my doorknob , I’ve removed everything but the deadbolt mechanism is like stuck in the door, seems to be a bit bigger than the hole. Is it possible it’s like 2 separate parts?
Try and put a screw driver in there and pull it out
After I removed the screws, I am unable to pull out the knobs. They are held together by some sort of spring mechanism. What is the next step? Thanks.
You are always my go to guy on UA-cam, unfortunately I needed to know how to remove the type of door knob that actually has no screwed or recessed buttons to push. As much as it hurts, I had to go an American UA-camr.ouch.
Did you hit that latch with a hammer? Even I couldn’t make that kind of damage :)
Touché😂 the latch that came out of the knob was a excellent example of one that kinks over super easy. I didn’t want to break it for the video, and the one I used for that clip was a poor example but it’s all I had…lol I did spent some time driving around looking for a better one! Just wanted to pass that on because I’ve personally broken those type of latches twice…and it’s maximum annoying!!!
Reminds me of the time folks used to call me "knob off".....
😂🍻
👍
Ok, so I just found out that I probably damaged the latch. It is in as far as it will go.
Why doesn't the Funny Carpenter allow us to SAVE this lesson to watch later? I still need to remove another doorknob!
Hey North America! Archimedes invented the Lever in the 3rd Century BC...try and keep up.
Excellent point! I put levers on the front and garage doors. I priced out the rest of the house but…. The knobs work.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter My specialty is fitting Oak internal doors, England, and I now refuse to fit door knobs.
@@trig what if the Queen asks for knobs… so those pesky children stop interrupting her viewing of Judge Judy:)
@@TheFunnyCarpenterHer Majesty never touches knobs, she has staff to do that sort of thing.😂
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Yeah I did an addition on my house 3 years ago adding a 1st floor master suite. Bought nice levers for the new doors, and the old lady said "why'd you get different handles for these doors?"...Had to go and replace 16 others to match the rest of the house. I lied to her about what the levers cost because she would have been mad at what I spent...so I couldn't just replace the 5 levers in the addition with knobs, I had to pretend it was no big deal to buy 16 more levers... *facepalm*
Really, a two-parter?
😂lol the third part how to turn the knob
@@TheFunnyCarpenter I'm eagerly waiting for that one with legs and eyes crossed--I can't get in the bathroom.
Okay so I’m just gonna have to break my door knob to get it off

#1 Tip for a DIYer... Don't buy a Festool drill :)
Lol speedy fingers. An "easy" way to always hit your time-trial is to perform the test first, get the time, THEN perform the prediction clip stating a time greater than what you measured in the time trial. That way you beat your time, every time.
Going two minutes in without hearing anything useful is a pain.
