    I want to thank you so much for this detailed video. You are a very good teacher. I'm a first-year widow trying to be my own handy-person and I was able to smoothly fix my existing front door handle by following this video!

    I’m the world’s un-handiest dude. The thumb latch fell off my knob, so I started unscrewing pieces hoping an easy solution would reveal itself. Instead, parts rained down onto the floor. I thought, well, there’s a couple hundred bucks out the door for a locksmith call. But your video saved me! Everything fit back together perfectly as you showed, and the knob works as new. Thank you!

    THANKS A LOT! I watched several videos trying to figure how to put the handle internal parts back together since it literally fell off from my door and all the internal pieces fell off all over. I sat down about 1 hour trying to figure what goes where and how then I watched many tutorial videos and none helped my case till I found yours. Your video is very detailed and dummy proof so thanks to you my door handle looks like a professional installed back.

    The handle on my Kwikset front door lock, fell off when I opened the door. Everything else remained in place. I could see the set screw, but wasn't sure what it did. It seems kinda obvious now that I watched the video. So I did a search (for exactly what the title of your video is) and got my answer at about 5:30. So glad I didn't have to go the Lowe's and look for ..., something?? to fix it. All I needed was a 3/32 allen wrench. Thank you!

    For the past several days our front door has been faltering. In my usual solution, I tried to ignore it, with hopes it would fix itself. But increasingly, the outside latch was not going up & down properly, sometimes not moving at all, essentially keeping anyone from entering; this afternoon, my wife heard our six year old daughter crying at the front door because she couldn’t figure out how to get inside. This evening on the way out for our walk, my wife said that she will try to find and pick up a new door assembly tomorrow. It typical fashion I told her something like, “you don’t know it’s broken, for sure!”. After a she was frustrated with me about something different during conversation on our walk, she stood at the front door trying to unsuccessfully open the door, yanked it hard, and pulling the handle off the door, with guts of the assembly falling to the ground. She said, now it’s broken, for sure, as she stepped over the mess entering the house. Of course, I put on my stubborn fix-it hat. I think I am a fix-it-man, but I’m not; proven by my wife firing me from quite a few simple household repair jobs by calling a professional. In any case, I managed to disassemble the door assembly; nothing appeared broken; but I could not figure out how to reassemble it. I found your video and soon, the door was back functioning. Thank you for the video; for the way you laid out the parts, in order of assembly (initially, I was missing the inside spring; thanks for pointing out its importance!); thank you, for the tip about lock-tite for the inside, small screws, as one of them had come off, and the interior assembly was not functioning properly as a result. Thank you, for the simple, easy-to-understand steps. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
