I tried searching but can not find how to reinstall my outside door handles. I found threads that helped me get them off by turning a 1/4 turn. Now I need to install the new ones. They will go into the first square hole but I'm having trouble getting the inner plate to rotate. I've tried operating the inside handle as well as manually pushing the striker.
Look in the shaft hole and move the parts around . You'll find the sweet spot and then know how to align the holes for the shaft.
With my good glasses on and a small screwdriver I got everything lined up. I used the inside handle and pulled the latch to the open position. With the small screw driver I was able to rotate the inner plate until everything lined up. That inner plate will not move when you pull the inner handle or push in the striker. You have to stick something in there and manually turn it! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
