You need to locate the shaft, or spindle, through which the knob is inserted to the door. Some knobs have a tiny opening that can be used with a screwdriver for removal of the set screws that secure the handle. Some have a small slot or hole that can be used with the flathead screwdriver on a spring-activated nut, known as a detent. The pin opens the latch mechanism and allows you pull or push the knob.
After you have ahold of the spindle or shaft, take the knob off of the door and replace it with the new one. Make sure to align it properly and check to ensure that the latch works properly before tightening the new set screws.
After replacing the knob, you can place the latch rod over the door's hole. Secure it by securing it to the rod system on the second knob. Make sure that the holes are aligned and then thread in the screws for the latch plate and tighten the screws.

Some people prefer a rustic look that works well with farmhouse-style rooms.

Other factors are being looked at more and more when it comes to the design of door handles. Accessibility and control of infections have been major considerations when it comes to developing new designs for handles. For instance certain handles can be operated with a person's arm.
Latch
The latch that holds the handle of your door open will wear down as time passes. Changing out the old latch to make room for the new handle is an easy DIY project and it can make a big difference in the way your door opens and closes.
Depending on the kind of knob you are using, the latch may be part of the knob itself, or it might be an independent piece attached to the door itself. In either case, you'll need to follow the same steps for removing and replacing. Getting the old latch out of the way is relatively simple, especially if your double glazed front door handles handle is equipped with what's known as a "magic button". This tiny pressure-slot, found on the side knob is the one you'll have to press to pull the latch out of the handle.
If your handle does not have this magic button you'll need to remove the cover plates placed over the latch plate. They are typically circular or rectangular and can be removed using a screwdriver to pry them off the handle. Some have a small hole in them where you can put your screwdriver into, while others simply snap off.
The next step is to loosen the two machine screws holding the latch and the inner plate to the door handle. These are the screws that are shorter with a sharp tip - you will be required to keep them in a secure location to use them again in the next steps. Once the screws are removed you can pull the latch plate and mechanism out of the conservatory door handles's hole and set it aside.
Now you can begin installing the new latch. Place the latch plate in the external door handles hole and secure it using the hardware provided. Make sure that the square pin on the interior of the latch is pointing towards the latching mechanism inside the handle and that it is lined up with the other screw chambers of the door handle. Then, push the exterior latch plate on and secure it using the screws supplied.
Strike Plate
One of the most frequent reasons for replacing a door handle is because it feels loose or isn't locking properly. This is usually due to incorrectly aligned parts in the latching mechanism, like an unbalanced strike plate that is too small or has moved up or down on the doorjamb over time. This simple fix allows you to replace your old strike plate with a longer, new one that can provide greater security and will keep your door shut.
Apply a lipstick or another marking material on the latch bolt to determine if it's the strike plate. Close the door, and then try to latch it. If the mark is lower than your strike plate hole, it means that the plate is too small and the upvc sliding door handle will not latch. If the mark is higher or below the strikeplate hole the strikeplate is likely to have been moved up or downward on the doorjamb.
You might be able to install the new strikeplate in the one you have already installed using the screws included with it, based on your door. However, you may need to drill holes first, and then chisel out some of the wood to ensure it's a good fit. If this is the case, be careful not to cut too deeply or you could ruin the strength of your doorjamb.
You can also try installing a new strike plate which provides the lock with a stronger grip on the door and requires more force to open it. Typically it will require two longer screws that secure the strike plate to the frame of the door. You'll need remove the previous strike plate and then drill and chisel the wood to create space for the new one.
This rare strike plate is made of solid brass and has an extremely thick. It's specifically designed to be used with antique rim locks. It comes with machine screws and wood screws, so you'll have the correct hardware for the job. Keep in mind that wood screws have a pointed tip, and machine screws have a blunter tip.
