How to Install a Door Knob

We moved into an older home 12 years ago and have been busy updating it, slowly over the years.  One thing that has always bothered me in the home were the doors and door knobs. The home is over 35 years old and the doors have taken a beating and none of the door hardware in the home matched.

The door hardware ranged from silver, brass, gold and really tarnished :).  I was excited to be able to replace our old door knobs with new and MATCHING ones! These new door knobs are so beautiful and look so good with our wood doors.

Changing the old hardware made such a huge difference in the overall clean and finished look in our home. We have so many…SO MANY…doors in this house. So it took a while to get all the door knobs changed out, but it has been so worth it!

These Kwikset door knobs are so easy to replace.  You can replace a door knob in just a few minutes. These door knobs fit all standards doors and require only a screwdriver (or a drill) to replace.

Kwikset has a wide variety of door knobs to choose from as well. The hardest thing was trying to decide on which door knob to use. We ended up choosing the Cameron Knobs in the Venetian Bronze Finish.

We installed a combination of the Hall and Closet Knobs and the Bed and Bath Locking Door Knobs throughout our home.

Today we are sharing a video, where Mr. Idea Room :) shows just how easy it is to install these Kwikset Door Knobs! So easy, you should be able to do it after watching this video.

After installing the new door knob, you will need to replace the mortise strike plate on the door frame. This is pretty easy to do as well.  If you have removed the old one and want to fill the old screw holes, Mr. Idea Room shows an easy trick to do so in the video below.

Do you have door knobs in your home that need to be replaced? What door knobs and finish would you choose?
