Latch

The latch that opens your door can wear out from age and use. Changing out the old latch to fit a new handle can be an easy DIY project and it can make a big difference in how your door opens and closes.

Depending on the kind of knob you have depending on the type of window handle replacement you have, the latch may be part of the knob or it could be an independent piece attached to the door. In either case, you'll need to follow the same steps to remove and replace. It's simple to remove the old latch, especially in the case of an entry handle that has a "magic" button.

If your handle does not have this magic button the first step is to remove any cover plates that rest over the latch plate. They are typically circular or rectangular and can be removed using the aid of a screwdriver. Some have a small slot inside that you can slide your screwdriver, whereas others snap off.

If the mark is located below the strike plate hole, this means that your door isn't latching because the plate isn't long enough. If the mark is higher than the strike hole on the plate, it's likely that the strike plate has been moved up or down on the doorjamb.

Depending on the door depending on the door, you might be able to install the new strike plate into the existing one with the screws that come with it. You may need to drill holes first, and then chisel the wood to ensure a secure fit.
