Dad my bedroom door handle won’t stay up so the door won’t shut. How do I fix it?

    As someone else said, this is seriously an easy project. The two screws you can see in the picture, loosen the set screw in the handle (the little hole on bottom). Pop the handle off, pop the solid metal ring off the door. That’ll expose 2 more Phillips head screws. Take the handles out, the latch will slide out.

    I literally did 8 of these this weekend. When buying a new knob, you can get knob, handle, locking, or not locking. Any version should fit

    Only tools needed are a phillips head screw driver, and probably an alen key set for that set screw. Both cheap tools that are great to have. Might need a flat screw driver to help pop off those metal rings at the handle base
