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.Why has blackstar changed to a blackcloud?0 -

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?0 -

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.0 -
Its possibly glued on just give it a good whack with a screwdriver and hammer.0

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.0 -
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.0

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?0
