hi, how can I make the door knobs stay fixed on the door as unable to tighten it.
Cheers sheila
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @sheila. Many thanks for your question, I'd be happy to assist.
The doorknob fixes to the door by turning the golden coloured collar flange clockwise. The thread on it matches up with the thread on the door fixing and tightens it onto the door. If it does not tighten, then there is a chance the thread is damaged and it will need to be replaced. Unless we can decipher which thread is damaged then you might need to replace the whole handle set.
Please let me know if you need further advice or had questions.

@sheila
Shelia do you mean you cant get it tight or it wont stay tight ie it comes lose as you use the handle? If it is the second nail polish on the thread before you put it back may help.

My door knob seems to have come off the spindle and tightening the golden coloured collar flange doesn’t work. How would I go about fixing this?
Hello @handybloke
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your door knob.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid the entire door knob assembly will need to be replaced. The handle that is currently in your hand is fixed in place with a special flat slot pin that keeps it attached to the gold flange of the door. If the pin breaks, it's extremely hard to repair and there are no spare parts for it. I propose looking at the Ikonic White Heritage Door Knob With Brass Rosette as a possible replacement.
Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to change a door knob.

"turning the golden coloured collar flange clockwise" no longer works. I thought the knob thread issue. So, I change the sides.
Now it seems that the thread in the lock attached to door is gone in one side.
Do you have the replacement for the middle part or complete set?
Hello @ruwantha
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.
Unless you are aware of the door handles model name or number of the door handle itself. It will be very difficult to track down the spare part of your door knob. Another issue that might hold you back is that the door handle threads might be the one that has worn out and not the door plate you currently have on the photo. You could try the nail polish suggestion recommended earlier, but I'm not sure how long that type of repair will last. I therefore recommend changing your door knob for a new set.
I also recommend having a look at the stores Door Lock Installation Service to save you time in having to look for a trades person.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
the Gainsborough door knobs are in good condition.
But on one side the inner thread on below shows attachment seems faded away, so knob cannot be attached.
Since both door knobs are in good condition, can I buy only one side of below item or complete inner door part?
I could not find it in bunnings online.
In regards to your question, I believe Gainsborough does not sell half a door knob set. This is why you can't find it on the website. There is a dummy knob called the Ikonic White Heritage Door Knob With Brass Rosette, but is not compatible with the Gainsborough set as it meant for blank fixings only
