Just wondering how to fix up this doorknob yourself without having to resort to a locksmith etc
Can’t seem to upload 10 second video , it’s the knob AND the lock we flick are both loose. Thankyou
Hello @DavidFg
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your door knob.
The parts inside this particular door knob are machine pressed and have no fixings that can be adjusted or tightened inside the knob. When the door knob has been in use for several years the tolerances between fittings become loose due to wear and tear. If it is just loose and is currently not interfering with the locking function and operation of the door knob, I propose using it as is for the meantime. But should the unit start to malfunction and the snib fails to operate, I suggest considering changing the door knob for a new one.
Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to change a door knob
