Do you have Home Depot in UK? If so, they have excellent manuals on all sorts of home improvements.

You have to pop the cover off- take the screws out and replace as needed.

when you buy a weiser lock it comes with instructions on how to install it.

Any new lock kit will have instructions, my only advice is to read them all the way through prior to doing the installation. Removing the old lock is a piece of cake just find and remove the screws. Actually installing the new lockset should be relatively easy as you do not have to drill new holes in the door.

Good luck!

All the different brands of lock-sets I have ever worked with came with instructions in the kit.

Usually, there are instructions that come with the locks. If it is like the one you are replacing, chances are you won’t have to make any adjustments.

Hello,
here is how to do it,
1)get the appropriate screwdriver.
2)loosen the screws holding it in place.
3)completely remove all bits and pieces.
4)follow instructions on how to install.
5)if the new lock does not fit ,you have to drill the hole out bigger.
6)they make door lock installation kits for around 24 euros

most door locks come with instructions right on or in the package.

sharrona @ 7:52 pm

An instruction booklet generally comes with the lock. If not
either look it up on the web, or contact the place where you
purchased it.

good luck
