Guide 101: Carpentry Works at Home

  1. How to fit a door handle?
  • Begin by removing the old door handle. Locate the two screws on either side of the handle and unscrew them. You may need to use a screwdriver to loosen them. Once the screws are removed, the handle should come off easily.
  • Place the new handle onto the door. Make sure the handle is facing the correct direction and that the latch mechanism is in the correct position.
  • Secure the new handle in place with the screws. Make sure the screws are tight, but not over-tightened.
  • Test the handle to make sure it works properly. If it does not, you may need to adjust the latch mechanism or re-align the handle.
  • Once the handle is fitted correctly, you can add any additional decorative elements such as a door knocker or doorbell.

2. How to hang heavy objects on a wall?

  • Determine the weight of the object and choose the appropriate hardware. Heavy objects require hardware that can support their weight, such as screws and hangers rated for the specific weight of the object.
  • Locate wall studs or use wall anchors. If the object is heavy, it is important to hang it on studs or use wall anchors for extra support.
  • Mark the mounting points on the wall. Use a pencil to mark where the mounting points need to go on the wall.
  • Drill the mounting holes. Use a drill to make the mounting holes in the wall. Be sure to use the correct size drill bit for the hardware you are using.
  • Install the hardware. Insert the screws or hangers into the mounting holes and tighten them securely.

Hang the object. Carefully hang the heavy object onto the hardware and make sure it is secure.
