Removing a door handle without visible screws 

To improve the aesthetic qualities of assembling a door, many manufacturers now in modern days are producing knobs that come with false plate’s adornment. This plate covers the operational assembly of the door handle and the screws. The end result is a design streamlined, but nevertheless, the difficult access to the screws to remove the handle until you knows how to remove the trim plate.

Instructions

  1. Examine the edge of the metal plate handle on the inner side of the door, and recessed for hidden screw. This screw holds the board in place, and usually is sunk into the side of the plate, making it difficult to see it at a glance.
  2. Find an Allen wrench that fits the screw, trying with each assembly until it fits one. Insert the tip of the key in the screw, and turn the clock backwards until the faceplate slide freely. It may be that sometimes the door handle use other screw as one Philips head. If so, use a Philips screwdriver instead of an Allen wrench.
  3. Remove the plate motif of front door. The faceplate can get away completely, depending on the design of the door handle; if not, turn the plate until the screws of the base are accessible, and then use a Phillips screwdriver to remove them.

Tips & Warnings

Some designs knobs can take a bolt instead of a screw. If that is the case, press the pin inwards with any thin object, and pull the plate out. To remove the entire handle assembly, also remove the two screws located on the inside of the door, on each side of the lock.
