Lay the new strike plate over the latching hole in the door jamb, matching its position with the hole and the marks likely left behind by the old strike plate. Make sure the bent edge of the strike plate faces the direction of the door swing. Tighten the strike plate screws. Test the new knob when everything’s installed by opening and closing the door several times. Test the latch spring by pushing it in with your fingers several times. If the spring is working, the latch should spring back up again each time it’s pressed down. Hold the second knob in place, making sure it’s interlocked with the rod mechanism on the first knob. Thread in the screws for the second knob, locking it in place. Step 4: Install the Strike Plate Step 3: Install the New Doorknob Examine the two new knobs, then pick up the one with an extending rod designed to interlock with the latch and the other knob. Hold this new knob in position over the hole in the door, sliding the rod into the latch. Make sure the knob is centered over the hole, then thread in its screws and tighten them down. Thread the latch plate screws down, locking the latch mechanism in place.
