My Inside door handle broke the other day, and i got a new one from the junk yard but i dont know how to take it off. heres the pic of the old one on the door. if you look at it, it looks like there is a screw coming from the back side of the door but you cant get to it and i cant see what type of screw it is. And it doesnt even feel like a screw.

 

heres what im talking about.

 

looks like a rivet... grab the drill and drill it out "if" that is what it is. get a clear picture next time.

 

it is a rivet.
drill it out

 

well if i drill it out then how do i put the new handle in? because the new i got doesnt have a rivit in it.

 

Either a screw or another rivet.

 

It is a rivet. Home Depot sells rivet guns....fairly inexpensive.

Had to do the same thing on a broken handle. All you need to do is use a drill bit just a little larger than the actual "hole" in the center.It will take out the actual pin and the flare on the back side.

New handle in, new rivet, done

 

cool thanks guys, i just went and bought a rivet gun for 4.99 at harbor freight. thanks for all the help
