How to Install a Door Knob...Easy, Simple and Quick!

What happens here

To remove the old doorknob, use a Phillips head screwdriver (or a drill with a Phillips bit) to unscrew the two visible screws on the exterior faceplate of the doorknob. While unscrewing, ensure you hold the interior doorknob firmly to prevent it from falling off. Once the screws are removed, gently pull off both the exterior and interior doorknob handles.

Goal: Detach the existing doorknob handles from the door
