[Trouble]

A lot of parts used in mobile homes can be found 
at camper supplies. Not many of them use standard 
parts and there not cheap either.

Yes, the latch mechanism did have two screws holding it in.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing knob on mobile home door

[Rick Hume]

I owned a mobile home once.  I found that items related to the doors, windows, 
etc. often weren't standard.  At first, I'd have a local mobile home service 
company send over a serviceman to make repairs.  I'd ask him to explain to me 
the repair he was making, and after a couple of visits, decided to make a trip 
to the service company and just purchase the parts.  Repairs on a mobile home 
are not impossible, but when there built, they often have installation of 
products done differently.

  Kevin,
  did the latch mechanism have two screws holding it in? I believe that I have 
seen mobile home doors that did not have any screws holding the latch in. Also 
sometimes mobile homes use non standard hardware for many things. Maybe the 
door is one of the things that uses non standard hardware. Good luck.

  Hi,

  A friend wants to replace the door knob on the front door of her 
  mobile home. We took off the old knob and its innards and can't get 
  the new tongue mechanism to fit in to the edge of the door. Seems a 
  mettle sleeve has been inserted in to the round whole in the edge 
  which prevents the new lock mechanism to slide in from the side of 
  the door. Should this mettle sleeve need to be removed and if so, how?

  Thanks for any help or clarifying questions as I am sure I did not 
  explain it very well.

Kevin,
did the latch mechanism have two screws holding it in?  I believe that I have 
seen mobile home doors that did not have any screws holding the latch in.  Also 
sometimes mobile homes use non standard hardware for many things.  Maybe the 
door is one of the things that uses non standard hardware.  Good luck.

  Hi,

  A friend wants to replace the door knob on the front door of her 
  mobile home. We took off the old knob and its innards and can't get 
  the new tongue mechanism to fit in to the edge of the door. Seems a 
  mettle sleeve has been inserted in to the round whole in the edge 
  which prevents the new lock mechanism to slide in from the side of 
  the door. Should this mettle sleeve need to be removed and if so, how?

  Thanks for any help or clarifying questions as I am sure I did not 
  explain it very well.
