Fix A Broken Door Knob
Do you have a loose door knob? With just a few tools, you can tighten that door knob. You will need a small flat head screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver and a regular size flat head screwdriver.
On the inside of the door, there will be a small spring loaded metal piece under the door knob. Push in that piece with the small screwdriver. This will allow you to pop the knob off the door. Once this is removed, you can take off the chrome or brass trim plate. This will expose the screws that hold the door knob assembly together. Tighten these two screws, replace the trim plate and put the knob back on.
That is how simple it is to tighten up that loose door knob. A few screwdrivers and a few minutes and your door knob will be good as new.

Tim! Great info. My son has a loose knob. He's getting this mail immediately! Thanks!
Great info. Thanks
Thanks Tim. My front door knob has been driving me crazy. But not any more, I'll bet. I'm heading for the basement and the screwdrives now.
Very helpful for door knobs, but what about loose knobs on closet doors?
Thank you, I keep all of the important fixes in a file. Love your advice.
This finally appears to be a video showing a door knob similar to what I have on interior doors.
However, when I try pushing a small flathead screwdriver in the slot, the knob handle still does not come off!
Any suggestions?
