No self-respecting handyman doesn’t have extra doorknobs around.
“Welcome to the Phillips residence…”
@ K
Unfortunately, the stuff featured on self-respectinghandymen.com just isn’t nearly as entertaining.
@ Dono1
Good to have you back
@Evan
I suppose you’re right…but that is just so darned ugly!
A vice grip would’ve been much better…
Yeah, but it lacks the rubbery handle, though.
I was just going to say needle-nosed vice grips work pretty well for this.
Am I going to the wrong store? Normally, parts are cheaper than tools. Why do people fix stuff using tools as parts? How do they work at their next project?
One word: laziness.
Unfortunately, they’re using that on the other side as a doorknocker.
@ Michael- don’t you remember? those are being used in the shower!
You’re not thinking scale. With doorknobs, you’d need one for each door. With screwdrivers, you only need one for the whole house. Sure, one doorknob would be cheaper, but one screwdriver is cheaper than 20 doorknobs.
Schoolboy error: electrical tape used instead of duct tape.
Yeah, work ethics call for duct tape or zipties. Nothing else
@dono1
I can’t imagine what you’re driving at.
I’m intrigued by the bloody knuckle traces on the door. WIll this end up being used to collect DNA evidence after the crime is discovered inside? I hate to even go there, but there it is nonetheless….
@Daniel
You’re forgetting the site. They don’t fix the next project…. they kludge it.
@dono1
Ah Dono, I love you!! You are spot on!
C’mon folks you’re all missing the obvious here. This is a retrofit kit to make a non-ADA compliant door knob into an ADA compliant handle. Jeez.
I think my in-laws could use one of these.
Well, at least this kludge won’t get anyone killed. But I, too, wonder at the bloody knuckle tracks.
I don’t know what I’m more morbidly fascinated by, the screwknob, the hunk of melted Tootsie Rolls it’s fused on with, or the mysterious brown smear right above it, tainting the innocence of the pure solid white door..
It’s like art.
What makes y’all think it is blood on what could be the bathroom door?
That little ‘rust’ stain from the screwdriver? Whatever it is, it is freaking. Me. OUT.
Too funny. My hubby did the same w/ our bedroom door knob but w/ a boxcutter outer casing stuck in the slot of the metal part where the knob attaches. It was attached w/ electrical tape & stayed that way for over a year. The looks on vistors faces were priceless! Sometimes the tape would come loose and hubby would of course add more tape!
Ahhh, ducktape, ducktape, ducktape. What would we do without it?
Got a naggy wife? USE DUCKTAPE! Got a hole in your roof? USE DUCKTAPE! Car fluids leaking? USE DUCKTAPE!
“Honey, I need a new door handle – this one’s broken!”
…Honestly, though, does a screwdriver count as a door handle? XD
take the screwdriver back to sears… and with the refund… BUY A DOORKNOB
Now, that’s plain screwy…
