People on here often say "oh it's a DIY job".
Not everyone has DIY skills. Some people don't know one end of a hammer to another. So to say it's a DIY job is only apparent of you have a skill set.
So please stop saying its a DIY job, when some people don't do DIY at all.
Phil, do you really know people who do not know one end of a hammer from the other?0 -

Replacing the door lock mechanism (which is more likely the culprit) will be a bit more taxing but only marginally so.0 -

I don't think I've ever met anybody who doesn't have sufficient common sense to change a door handle. It requires no DIY unless you consider taking a screw out as DIY in which case changing batteries just got way more skillful

Yes. I run a maintenance company and have plenty of customers who don't and won't own any tools. One is a neuro-surgeon who cannot even bang a picture hook in.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -

But I've got no axe to grind about them, you pays yer money. . .
AS far as what is "easy" DIY wise. I'd say changing door handles is an easy job. Gets more complicated if you're changing the latch, and the striker plate.
As said it's a money saving site here.
Personally I don't want to pay for easy little jobs.
I can understand a neurosurgeon not wanting to do DIY though!0
