Good day, creative minds in the hive! Blockchain, it's another segment of Creative Sunday, and today I'd love to share one of my creative explorations from a few weeks ago. This has to do with the changing of my door handle, which got damaged at a time when I was seriously broke. This hinders me from going out for awhile for fear that my stuff will be looted. Well, after a few days, I purchased a new lock and decided to fix it myself because I don't have what you're paying a professional, so below I shared how I got this done.
Before I dive into the process of how I replaced the new door handle, I'd love to talk a little about how several things just keep getting damaged consistently when we're broke. Take, for instance, my fan that got damaged a few days ago, and then the door handle followed suit. Well, unlike how I abandoned the fan, I couldn't do the same to the door because it's not safe to leave the house without shutting the door. The chat below even showed how I was telling Nkem and Glorydee what happened and how I tried to fix the old one through the night before I realized it couldn't be fixed but required a replacement.
TOOLS
- New door handle
- Screwdriver
- Tester (For Tinny nut)
- Steel Plier

REPLACEMENT PROCESS
- The issue with the door handle was that the key got stuck inside and the lock shifted out a little, so after trying to push it in or force it out and nothing happened, I decided to just lose it, out completely after purchasing a new handle, to lose this I needed screwdriver and plier, although some of the nuts where too rusty and wasn't loosing, so I had no choice than to force it out, and that's why it's bend after being completely removed.
 |  |
- After the old handle was completely removed, I unwrap the new one and gradually fix it into the open space, first steps was to inside the inner lock and screw it to the door.
 |  |  |
- Once that was achieved, I inserted the iron rod that help makes the handle move simultaneously when pulled, after that I joined the handle cover to it and used a nut to attach it firmly to the door.
 |  |  |
- When that was perfectly fitted, all I need to do next was to to tighten all the nut properly, so the nut won't loose off after few days of usage, and that's how I come to the end of replacing the door handle.
That's about all on how I replaced my door handle after the old one got damaged, although it's worthy of note that I won't have done this myself had hand more cash on me, but since I was broke and couldn't afford spending more money to pay a professional, I decided to replace it myself and I think I did an amazing job.
Thanks so much for your time, have a wonderful Sunday ahead.
Hehe. I also can do it. It seems easy for me because i have done it several times. First time it was hard for me but from the next time It became easy for me.
Oh I see, I think the first time of trying everything is always like that.
I'm sure I'll be more comfortable when next I had to do this again.
Wow! You replaced the door yourself? It's fine like you paid some professional to do it for you, this proves the saying that you never know what your hands are capable of doing until you try
And the process sounds like something I can do too☺️
You did a good job 👍
Yea that's absolutely true my dear.
I definitely wouldn't have tried it if I had some cash.
But then it's all good and now I know I'm capable of doing it.
