Installing Replacement Door Handle & Door Lock in Singapore #doorhandle...

Replacing a door handle and door lock can be a straightforward task, but it's important to follow proper steps to ensure the new hardware is installed correctly and securely. Here is a general guide you can follow:

Tools and Materials Needed:

• New door handle and lock set
• Screwdriver (usually Phillips head)
• Tape measure
• Pencil
• Chisel (if necessary)
• Hammer (if necessary)
• Drill and drill bits (if necessary)
• Screws (usually provided with the new hardware)
• Wood filler (if necessary)
• Sandpaper (if necessary)

Steps for Replacing a Door Handle and Door Lock:

1. Remove the Old Handle and Lock:

   • Open the door and locate the screws on the interior side of the door handle.
   • Use a screwdriver to remove the screws and pull the handle apart.
   • Remove the screws from the latch plate on the edge of the door and take out the latch mechanism.
   • If there is a strike plate on the door frame, remove the screws and take off the strike plate.

2. Prepare the Door:

   • Measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the handle hole (this is called the backset) to ensure the new hardware will fit.
   • If the new latch is a different size, you may need to adjust the hole in the edge of the door using a chisel and hammer.
   • Fill any old screw holes with wood filler and sand smooth if the new hardware doesn't cover them.

3. Install the New Latch:

   • Insert the new latch mechanism into the hole on the edge of the door.
   • Secure the latch with screws, making sure it is aligned correctly.

4. Install the New Handle:

   • Place the exterior part of the handle into the hole on the outside of the door.
   • Align the interior handle with the exterior handle, ensuring the spindle fits through the latch mechanism.
   • Secure the handles together with the provided screws.

5. Install the New Strike Plate:

   • Place the new strike plate on the door frame where the old one was removed.
   • Use a pencil to mark the screw holes if they do not align with the old holes.
   • Drill pilot holes if necessary and secure the strike plate with screws.

6. Test the New Handle and Lock:

   • Close the door and ensure the latch engages smoothly with the strike plate.
   • Test the lock to make sure it operates correctly.
