Believe it or not, I'm not talking about planners or journals today! I bet you're relieved. :-)
A couple of weeks ago, the doorknob fell off my bedroom door. I looked at it, and in my uneducated opinion, it was broken. It seemed as if the metal below the screws had sheared off.
I did try to fix it following advice I received, but it couldn't be fixed because I was right. The metal was broken and there was no way to repair that.
Um, I should maybe mention that despite the fact I had links to videos and text messages explaining what to look for, that I let it sit untouched for about eight days. Yeah. I just didn't feel like dealing with it and I thought it might be hard.
The repairs I tried were not difficult. They just didn't work.
It was time to order a new doorknob.
I looked at Amazon because getting in and out of Home Depot is a bitch where I live, but I also went online and searched Home Depot. They had a brand of doorknob called Kwikset and it was cheaper than what the 'Zon's algorithm had shown me, so I did a search for that brand and looked for a doorknob that bore a resemblance to what I already had.
Next day delivery please. This is a weekend project!
The delivery gods were smiling on me because my doorknob showed up before 1pm! That's super early for Amazon to be in my neighborhood.
The installation gods were smiling on me, too, because I somehow managed to buy the exact doorknob that was on every door in my house. EXACT!
I did have to watch some video on how to install, but overall, it was an easy job. (Thank you, Mr. Blaney!)
My backset came in pieces, and I maybe forgot to put one of them on before I fastened it into the door, but the door opens, closes, and latches correctly, so I'm not going to worry about it.
This was an easy job and I'm glad I could do it myself. Handy Patti for the win!
