dealing with Old Corbin knobs 

I am beyond thrilled to have found this video!! We moved into a very old house a few years ago and it has these doorknobs in the house. A couple of years ago my husband had to replace one of these knobs and it was a fight to the bitter end. lol. We have to remove another knob now and well, I get to show him how to do it without nearly destroying the door. Can't wait to see his face!!! HA HA HA Thank you so much for posting this tutorial!! So grateful for it!!!

This video was a lifesaver; thank you so much!

I can’t explain my gratitude on how helpful this video was I recently got a vintage door knob lockset and wanted to get the lock cores out to rekey them in this video really came in handy

Thanks for this, it helped me get out of a pickle!

Yes I am too grateful. Buying my apartment condo and refurbishing everything, this one was the toughest for me. I was getting so frustrated until I saw this video. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Nice. Corbin is well made, albeit overly-complex mechanism, that really needs a demonstration like this before I try to disassemble it a first time!

Nice job. Very useful video that I was shocked to even find.

Yes, those locks were well made. Still have parts for these after all these years.

I watched it all but didn't need to as we don't have them here. Yeah, I know I have issues!😜That whole process is painful. We have some fiddly knob sets back here too but I only know how to pull them apart for salvage. God help me if ever needed to reassemble one. Thanks Mr J.🍺✌

Video helped on a job site last Friday 🙌

If I gave that one little tap it would have ended up inside the glass case. Then when I went to pick it out there would be a trip to the hospital for stitches. Those old corbins always take so long to work on.

Great information, will love to see a series of the like. Question... is there a way to convert a knobset from storeroom to entry etc?

Has anyone in the world ever thought that if it burns on the inside of a door with a knob, it is impossible to open the door because the skin `melts` off the hand!

Awesome video! My school used these too :)

Excellent tutorial

What a lot of work for a rekey job. Looks like they cost extra.

Great info, thanks!!

I tried to looking in your videos for I believe the older Sargent knobs with the roll pin holding the knob on (if I remember correctly it was Sargent) but anyways that would make a good video similar to this

Thanks...I needed that.

Thanks for the info Jay!

What are the names of the tools you used to back off the door knobs?

I wish i could see where you are when you say "you just wanna hit one of those legs" I literally can't figure out where to put the screwdriver 😑😪

if a customer comes to you and asked for example a replacement key for a truck tool box and the tool box has a code what program do you use to look up the code. Ive been impressioning them or reading the wafers once i take it apart . I would to find a program to read the codes it would save me alot of time when successful.

Sledge hammer will always serve as an alternative....

great video!

Talkative. F

I did mine a different and easier way
