Task guide
When this may be needed
- The knob turns but the door won't open.
- The knob is loose and rattles or pulls off.
- The privacy button on a bathroom knob no longer locks or unlocks.
- The knob has rusted from bathroom humidity.
- An older family member finds round knobs hard to grip.
What the team does
The technician removes the old knob set and checks the latch and the bore hole in the door. Most knobs share a standard hole size, so a new knob usually fits the existing holes. The new knob and latch are fitted, the strike plate is checked so the latch catches cleanly, and the knob and any privacy lock are tested from both sides.
Included in this price
- Removal of the old knob set
- Fitting the new knob and latch in the existing holes
- Strike plate check and adjustment
- Testing the knob and privacy lock from both sides
Limits & price factors
The knob is charged on top of the labour price. Enlarging holes for a different lock type, filling old holes and repainting are not included.
The price covers one standard cylindrical or tubular knob. Converting a knob door to a lever handle with a different backplate, or fitting a knob to a door with a damaged edge, can take longer. A knob locked from the inside can usually be opened first without damage.
FAQs
Usually, yes. Many lever sets fit the same holes as a tubular knob. Lever handles are easier to use for children and elderly people, and with wet or full hands.
Yes. Most privacy knobs have an emergency release on the outside, which is used before any knob is removed. The knob is then replaced if the lock is faulty.
Most internal doors in HDB flats and condos take a standard knob. Doors with mortise locks need a matching handle set instead, which is checked on site.
About 30 to 45 minutes per door.
