How to Install Paddle Door Handles for Dummies

If you've been watching, I've been showing how to get ready to install these Privacy paddle handles from Schlage. And now I'm ready. I've got everything prepped out. I've already taken the old ones out. I've got them stacked over there. I've got all the new ones prepped over here. And I put the latch round rings on. If you didn't see how to do that, watch my other videos on it, and I show you how to take the existing one that comes with this off. Did you you know those could come off? Yes, I bet you never knew that. And it comes with this round ring and you can pop that on. That way, if they're round, you can use the round. If they're rectangular like this, you can do that too. So I like how they're universal. That's kind of sweet. Okay, so now I'm ready to put these latches in. Okay, so as I look at this, I just kind of do one at a time here and of course the door swinging that way so it's important to remember which way to do this I've done this before no joke where I put it in and I thought oh shoot I just put it in backwards because I wasn't paying attention no biggie you can always pull it back out so I line that straight up and down okay like that and I just get it set that's all I do put my foot on here and I take it I take an old putty knife and I depress this in I kind of I kind of look at the latch but sometimes that goes sideways and I just hold it on there tap on it That's it I used it I used to try to hold that in and then hit it with the hammer hit it with the hammer hit it With the hammer until I came up with oh, I'll just put my my cutting knife on there Okay, and I look at the side little goody because sometimes as you as you tap that in right right here See this part right there that kind of slips out sometimes as you're tapping the side of the door then you have to take your screwdriver and kind of fit it in there and think okay which way does it go so i always kind of look at that first okay now that one's all set up that's that's all that's all you got to do grab these two and we'll just put these in very quickly on the other doors okay get this set up i'm having you know, I wish I had a camera person with me and they could just run the camera around as I'm working and talking and all that business. Okay. Okay. So I line that up. Look at this side. I got that on there and I'm looking at that. I'm lining that straight up and down. Push it in just a hair. You can't see that one's hardly going in at all, but I've got it lined up. Get my side latch. It's in fine. I had quite a few of these where every time I tapped it in that little that little side deal I had to adjust it with my screwdriver and these last few I haven't had to do that and that I like okay so and see I don't have to hold it like that I can put my hand in here and twist it however I want line it up push in on it here take my putty knife kaboom just happened there I thought I heard something go out. Oh, it was something old from the old one that had come out. Nothing on the new latch. I want to make sure the latch is on there properly. Okay, and it is. All right, safe and sound. Now, I was contemplating whether or not to even make these videos on this particular one, but if you're liking these, you know, I wish you would send me a comment. Let me know how I'm doing. If you're joined in videos, if there's anything I could be doing differently if there's something in particular you want me to show you if if I'm at that position I will do it okay so now I hang on to these I don't want to pull these apart and then have this fall out and then think okay which way does the handle go does it you know whatever so I just kind of hold on to it and I'm going to place one of these at each door okay I've got that one there got these two see if I can pick these two up and I just set one over here get that one set like that this one over here like that then I get my my screws and then my strike plates see I know I know I need one strike plate and two little screws at each door and I need two long screws here those are the two that hold the whole doorknob together so I'm just gonna just gonna kind of place all that stuff around get set up right back Maui baby wish you were here but because you're not I'm bringing it to you with these videos that's all I got for this time but I'll be back with more
