Updating your internal doors with new chic door knobs can work wonders for your interior décor. For steps on how to replace a door knob, scroll down!

For this task you will need: a screwdriver, measuring tape, brand new door latches and door knobs.

Start by removing the screws on the rose of your door knobs. This will enable you to pull the door knob away from its position on the door.

Pull both door knobs away the door simultaneously. The central 8mm spindle that connects the door knob through the latch will also be removed at this stage.

Loosen the screws on the latch fixing plate and remove it, then slide the latch out of the door.

Remove the strike plate on the door frame using the screwdriver.

Measure the distance from the centre of the hole in the door across to the edge. This measurement is called the backset which is important to know if you are looking to replace your existing latch.

Open your Handle King package and take the contents out of the packaging.

Insert your new latch and secure it into place with the supplied screws.

Attach the new strike plate to the door frame.

Begin by inserting the door knob with the spindle fixing, passing it through the latch mechanism in the door. Screw the fixings securely into place.

Line up the other door knob with the spindle and fit to the door.
