Do you have problems like that around your house where occasionally your door handles get loose
0:14
And you start to tackle the project and all of a sudden you realize, how in the world do I tighten it
0:19
Well, you need some patience and you need some special screwdrivers. Here's what you need
0:24
You usually have a very small, flathead screwdriver, and you also need generally a Phillips or a long
0:29
larger flathead screwdriver. The first thing you have to do is look on the inside of the door
0:35
and you will find, generally speaking, a very small little slit, a little spring, actuated
0:41
piece of metal that you can push in with the small screwdriver and it allows you to take the handle off the door
0:48
Once you take the handle off the door, you can then take the brass or the chrome ascution plate off the door
0:56
that gives you access to the two screws that will tighten the door knob back up
1:00
Go ahead and take your regular flathead screwdriver or a Phillips screwdriver
1:04
tighten the two screws, put the discussion plate back on, put the knob back on
1:10
Oh yeah, oh yeah. All you gotta do is push this in, see
1:14
Yep, it's a snap. That's how easy it is to tighten up a loose doorknob
