Why has blackstar changed to a blackcloud?

What are peoples thoughts on my last post?

The handle can be locked from inside by just pushing a button in or turning a little thumb turn and unlocked by turning the inside door handle. The outside is locked by the usual manner with a key and must be unlocked with a key also.

Does it matter. Is this helping the OP with his problem.

Well the brown wooden part of the door knob which is attached to the door doesn't have screws in it, I tried to get it off, but it wouldn't come off, how do you think I can get it off? How is it suck on?

Is it easy to replace the door handles with lockable door handles?

If the length and diameter of the bolt is the same (they're usually standard sized), it'll be pretty much a case of swapping the old for the new.

Its possibly glued on just give it a good whack with a screwdriver and hammer.

What's on the other side of the door?

As in the video, screws holding knobs in place are usually on the inside - inside the room that is.

Can you please provide a picture of the other side, and also of the edge - showing the latch.

A bolt of the kind shown in the photograph is going to be useless, anyone wanting to get in will just unscrew it. You either need a latch on the inside, or a mortise lock, or a hasp and staple.

I checked under both door knobs and there is a small screw in a hole in both. I have taken a picture, please see above.

The only thing is I don't know whether I need to take off the wooden part thats stuck on the door or not?
