Do you have doors in your home that have knobs or levers that are just not fitting with the style or decor of your home?  Or are the knobs just inadequate and just plain ole broken?  You don’t have to live with that.  Here is how you can change your interior door knob in about 10 minutes.  Yes, it is just that easy.  The only tools you will need are a Phillips and a flat head screwdriver.

You can choose from a whole variety of styles and types of knobs and levers in many colors.

Steps

1. Remove the old door knob/lever.  
   1. Unscrew the door knob and remove.  
   2. Unscrew the latch and remove from the door panel.   
   3. Unscrew the strike.
