Rocketman3 Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Hello everyone, The bathroom doorknob on our 2000 Dynasty is about wore out. It is difficult to turn and only opens in one direction. Does anyone know where to get a replacement? Thanks
tmw188 Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) I have the same but is it anything special? I replaced of all my brass fixtures and hardware and that is the only one left. Edited January 9, 2023 by tmw188
Fasthobie16 Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I have the same coach and bathroom door knob. Same problem. I just took it apart and lubed it. When I put it together, left it a little loose and tightened up the set screw. Works good now.
RVhorod Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I found an exact match (in Brushed Nickel) at Home Depot in the screen door parts isle, however, that was 12 years ago.
Gary 05 AMB DST Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I switched to a SS knob to match the frig. Got it at Home Depot. Gary 05 AMB DST
Tom Cherry Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 This is a standard residential “bathroom/bedroom” lock. Yours is a forerunner to the ADA (Handicapped) one where there is a lever and it is easier to grasp than a knob. Any Ace or builder’s supply will have on and odds are…it will fit. Pull it out and measure the diameter of the hole behind the flange plates. Take it in and find one and make sure that the hole size is correct. Include the striker as well as there are some that require you to use a wood chisel and make or mortise in a plate. Check the distance from the barrel on the striker (bolt or catch) as they also make ones that will fit different doors. The industry added a model maybe early 2000’s that has a bigger hole…but they still make locks to fit if yours is the older spec,
tmw188 Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I didn’t think it could be anything special. Be careful using the old one, if the handle is loose and it slips when the door is shut you could get locked inside if you are alone!
Rocketman3 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Posted January 17, 2023 Just to give a follow-up… I got it fixed! it was a National Hardware item: N190-044 (nickle) N100-047 (gold) A Do it Best store ordered it for me, the only issue is the new one was about 1mm bigger, so I had to buy a 5/8” drill bit. Thanks for everyone’s help!
DZZippy Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Future reference for anyone interested… the exact replacement is available on Amazon and is listed as a “storm door latch / lock”. We just replaced ours this past year and had no modifications that were needed. Edited January 18, 2023 by DZZippy
