How to Remove an Outside Door Knob
Outside door knobs are knobs used to lock entryway doors. These doors are either solid wood or fiberglass. The door knob is positioned so that the keyhole is facing the outside. On the inside, there is a button which is either turned or pushed to lock the door. The screws holding the doorknob in place should always be located on the interior side of the door. Removing the doorknob is a simple process that should only take about 10 minutes. Does this Spark an idea?
