Locking Door Knob Replacement Project in Etobicoke
This Etobicoke project involved replacing a basic non-locking interior door knob with a locking knob to give the client additional privacy in the room. The existing door itself was still functioning properly, so the work focused on changing the door hardware rather than replacing or modifying the full door.
CanRenovation checked the existing knob, latch position, and strike plate alignment before removing the old hardware and installing the replacement set.
Removing the Existing Non-Locking Door Knob
The original door knob was removed so the existing bore, latch opening, and surrounding door surface could be checked before the new hardware was fitted.
The project used the existing door opening and focused on replacing the non-locking hardware with a locking knob suited to the client's privacy needs.
Installing the New Locking Door Knob
The new locking door knob and latch components were fitted into the existing door preparation and secured in place.
The hardware was checked during installation to make sure the knob operated smoothly and the locking function engaged as intended.
Aligning the Latch and Strike Plate
After the knob was installed, the latch and strike plate were checked for alignment so the door could close without sticking or requiring unnecessary force.
Final adjustments were made where needed, and the door was opened, closed, latched, and locked several times to confirm consistent operation.
The Finished Etobicoke Door Knob Replacement
The completed project upgraded the interior door from a non-locking knob to a locking door knob while keeping the existing door in place.
This Etobicoke door knob replacement project shows how a focused hardware change can add privacy while maintaining smooth closing, latching, and locking operation.
