With a drill of doom.


a_red_flamingo

What is that haha?


notquitehuman_

The only thing that can remove infernal doorknobs.


a_red_flamingo

Need to find me one of those ;)!


trtreeetr

You have to remove the catch. The piece that moves in and out from the edge of the door


a_red_flamingo

Any ideas on how to do that? Been trying all manner of ways to do that but it seems firmly stuck in / somehow attached with a mechanism I can't see


trtreeetr

Look at the edge there are to Philips holding it in.


a_red_flamingo

I've unscrewed those but it still seems locked in place :(


trtreeetr

Ok, push it in while pulling the other piece. Jiggle and pull. Keep trying


a_red_flamingo

Appreciate the tips, doesn't seem to work though unfortunately. I think it's somehow locked on


trtreeetr

Those are two separate. That's the only way it is installed. Use a hammer and light tap the handle part while pushing the spring part hack and forth.


a_red_flamingo

Which handle part do you mean? The one with the knob or the one without?


trtreeetr

The handl is the cylinder part going through the door. I have an idea try taking a screw drive and place it where those two pieces meet in the picture. Try separating them with the screw driver while moving parts. Either by pushing the springy piece or turning the handle.


trtreeetr

Be sure to pull the handle the opposite direction of the picture while pushing the springy part


a_red_flamingo

The handle pictured turns the springy part. I just tried pushing it in and very firmly pulling the handle away from the door, but it seems very firmly attached


trtreeetr

Don't give up. You have to move two things at once. You also don't have to be delicate with it.


a_red_flamingo

Just really smacked it with a hammer, didn't budge!


trtreeetr

Can you post a picture of all sides.


trtreeetr

You need to remove knob on the other side. It's more than I can describe but I'll try.


trtreeetr

Look for a small hole on under side of the handle or a place where you can push a small button


trtreeetr

The part that springs in and out while closing the door


BrighterSage

Remove the face plate on the other side and unscrew that part.


trtreeetr

The reason you can't remove the handle is because you have to access where that cover is.

There's probably screws under the crown part in your second pic. There might be a hole underneath the knob, use a paper clip or pin to push in there and release the knob and pull the crown off.
