How to Install a Door Knob...Easy, Simple and Quick!
What happens here
With the screws partially tightened, check the alignment of the doorknob handles. There might be a small amount of play. Adjust the handles to ensure they are straight up and down and flush against the door. Once aligned, use the Phillips head screwdriver to fully tighten both screws. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the screws or damage the doorknob. After tightening, test the doorknob by turning it and engaging/disengaging the lock several times to ensure smooth operation.
Goal: Secure the doorknob and verify proper function
