      <title>First door handle install</title>
      <link>https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Whole-of-House/First-door-handle-install/m-p/26195#M5945</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I was cleaning my front door handle and deadlock the other night (came up quite well just with elbow grease) When i realised how annoying it was not to be able to shut the front door here without using a deadlock key (for windy days just running out to grab the newspaper or whatever)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thought it might be a good time to try my first door handle install&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It was alot easier to do than I thought it would be (thank god) as most things seem to be once you try to do them i guess (fear of the unknown makes alot of stuff seem "too hard" till you actually try it I reckon)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;54mm hole saw, 25mm spade bit, a pencil, a ruler, a phillips head screwdriver, a hammer and small chisel (for my particular door handle anyway)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was expecting lots of drama like maybe shutting the door and suddenly the handle not working or somthing - But I just took things slow and steady (took me about half a hour between reading instructions multiple times and measuring thrice and cutting once in my case lol) and in the end it all went together with zero drama and worked straight away &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The particular door handle my wife bought came with a piece of paper which you can stickytape to the door and had all the measurements drawn on ready to go (i triple checked the paper just incase I messed up the paper placement or somthing)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anybody thinking of trying their first door handle install - I reckon definatly give it a go! its probably alot easier than you think it will be &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt; (maybe be a bit more careful than i was with the chiselwork though hahahah)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="drill door handle and latch holes" style="width: 750px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8839iBD69A3C02553C590/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="IMG_20190303_122246.jpg" alt="drill door handle and latch holes" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;drill door handle and latch holes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="chisel out a spot for the latch plate to sit flush against the door" style="width: 749px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8844i4FAAD22ABB2FE698/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="IMG_20190303_123456.jpg" alt="chisel out a spot for the latch plate to sit flush against the door" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;chisel out a spot for the latch plate to sit flush against the door&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="dont use a cordless drill - do them up by hand - so says the instructions" style="width: 750px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8843i66759ACB75DDAA40/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="IMG_20190303_123906.jpg" alt="dont use a cordless drill - do them up by hand - so says the instructions" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;dont use a cordless drill - do them up by hand - so says the instructions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Alot easier than i anticipated :)" style="width: 268px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8842i806EDAD639C2CAEF/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="IMG_20190303_134036.jpg" alt="Alot easier than i anticipated :)" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Alot easier than i anticipated &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="elbow grease+dishwashing scourer" style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8840i6CB4FFFF1DF8C362/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20190303handle2.JPG" alt="elbow grease+dishwashing scourer" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;elbow grease+dishwashing scourer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Nice and shiny, we arnt installing it again though so I will have to bog some holes in the door before painting or replacing the door eventually" style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8841i2295B17CF0526C7B/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20190303 handle.JPG" alt="Nice and shiny, we arnt installing it again though so I will have to bog some holes in the door before painting or replacing the door eventually" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Nice and shiny, we arnt installing it again though so I will have to bog some holes in the door before painting or replacing the door eventually&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
