Hey,

Let me tell you about an incident. Three months ago my four year old niece managed to lock herself in a room. We were scared she would hurt herself. The entire family was trying to figure out how to remove a door knob with hidden screws. After twenty long minutes, we found a solution. I will share details about it here.

There are different types of door knobs :
  • Entrance or keyed entry knobs: these are used on the exterior of the house. 

  • Dummy door knobs: these are used on shallow closet doors

  • Privacy door knobs: these are used in bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Passage door knobs: these are used for closet doors 

How to remove a door handle with hidden screws?

  • Once you know the type of door knob or handle you want to remove. 

  • Start by looking for any hidden screws in the top, base, and sides of the handle 

  • You might come across a small pinhole or slot. This indicates the door knob has a hidden lever or detent.

  • With a head screwdriver, begin to unscrew the standard hex-head screws counterclockwise to remove the kob.

  • If the door has a pinhole opening, take a flathead screwdriver and push it in the opening. 

  • This will loosen the latch. 

  • Tug on the doorknob with all your strength 

  • It will pop out or move from its position. The base is known as the rose 

  • In case the rose doesn't disengage, use a pin to remove screws in the escutcheon plate.

This is all from my end on how to remove a door knob with hidden screws
