How To Scrap Brass Door Knobs 

That’s so cool to hear. I truly believe scrapping is for everyone! I got the basic version of a stripmeister wire stripper from Amazon, it’s really affordable stripper and it’s been awesome! I don’t like cursing either, I’m happy you’ve found my channel.

You are welcome, my friend! Thank you!

Thank you buddy. They aren’t my favorite thing to scrap, but brass is brass lol.

@scrapitall200 that's right- scrap everything.

@@CopperEyeJoe scrap it all lol.

Oh that’s so great, I’m really happy my video was helpful. It’s definitely a great way to earn some extra cash.

@@scrapitall200 yeah just not much weight for the amount of work, but it adds up

Yeah you’re right, but like you said, it does add up. They’re not my favorite thing to scrap, but I do them when things are slow.

Absolutely 100%

Pretty much all modern ones are like this. Older ones will be solid brass or glass handles. Thank you for watching.

Yes, they all do add up. God bless you as well and thank you for watching.

That’s not on every door knob, most (in my experience) are crimped and have to be cut. I’ve found some like you mentioned and they are so easy.

Thank you very much! You’re welcome, I’m happy you liked it.

Awesome, thank you for the information. I still do scrap door hardware. Thank you for watching.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

Yes he is! Thank you, bud!

Thank you so much! God bless you too brother!

You’re welcome and thank you for taking the time to watch!

You are very welcome and thank you for watching.

Yes he is! Thank you, bud, I appreciate it!

@@scrapitall200 welcome my friend!

Awesome! Thank you and I’m happy my video will help you.

Thank you so much. That makes me very happy that you learned something.

Thank you so very much, I appreciate that.

Have you ever tore down the silver colored ones ? I've wondered if they're aluminum, brass or stainless ?

Yeah sometimes words escape me. Thank you! Only ones that I’ve done that were silver color were stainless

@@scrapitall200 awesome! Glad I didn't toss them in breakage

It definitely works better than prying and banging with a hammer.

Thank you so much for watching another video and for all of your nice comments, I appreciate it.

Thank you, I appreciate it bud.

That is so awesome! I’m happy you’ve been enjoying it and learning things to help you scrap. Thank you for your comment.

Hope it helps buddy. Thanks for watching

Thank you! I have found some to be brass, which is always nice lol.

He’s top shelf! Thank you brother and I hope this video helps you with scrapping door knobs.

@@scrapitall200 I'll definitely be doing it this way for sure!

Awesome!

@@scrapitall200 Have a great day and I hope the Scrap Run Fills your pockets with Scrap Cash! CheeRs

Cracking video cheers keep up good work 👏

Thank you so much! God bless you!

I’ll have to give that a try, thank you!

I have a bad neck that barks at me when I saw too much. Thank you for watching.

Absolutely agree 100% there’s money out there to be made and most of us could use extra money nowadays. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Thank you I really appreciate that!

Boy I wish I had a bandsaw. Thanks for watching and sharing your method with me.

I install and repair commercial doors and hardware so I have to tools to do it with and they come in handy for scraping as well. Also, anything that is silver in color that comes off of a door, check with a file, you'd be surprised how much Chrome plated brass is out there!

@@martinc591 sure is nice having the proper tools lol. absolutely, I always make a point to check with a file. Thank you!

Thank you so much

You're welcome

God bless

You’re welcome. I’m happy my video has helped. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I appreciate it.

Thank you so much buddy

You are welcome

My yard pays me cast aluminum for them

Absolutely, I completely agree!

He pretty much scraps everything like I do. I’m a big fan of his. Thank you for watching.

I did not know that! I really love it, it’s been such a great vise!

Thanks for rewatching buddy!

Yeah my prices are a big reason I scrap everything, plus since it’s just a hobby to me, my time isn’t relevant to me but I understand for some it is! Thanks for watching buddy.

Thank you for watching, I’ll give that a try sometime.

Thank you my friend.

That is a great idea, thanks for sharing that. Thank you for watching.

You’re welcome! Hopefully it gave you some ideas.

Yeah I have a bad habit of calling stuff like that cast aluminum because that’s what my yard pays me for them. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Absolutely, I definitely have that experience with getter more efficient after the first few. Thank you for watching and for your comment. It’s appreciated!

My yard has a die cast (or zinc) category too. A little heavier/denser than cast aluminum. Prices for me pretty similar, but I try to separate the best I can or the yard will help. On different occasions I’ve even had the same types of security camera housings be called cast aluminum or die cast on different days😅🤷‍♂️

Thank you and I’m happy you liked it. Thank you for watching and for subscribing. I returned the favor on your channel.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

​@@scrapitall200you are welcome

That’s great! Thank you for watching and sharing this comment, I appreciate hearing from y’all.

Thanks for the tip and for watching.

It’s definitely zinc or a combination of zinc and aluminum but my yard just pays me cast aluminum so I’ve got into the habit of calling it cast lol Thank you

@@scrapitall200 gotcha! I didn't know if you knew or not. It's crazy how there's so much difference between so many scrap yards. You'd think by now they'd be uniform. I bet they sell it off as zinc though lol

@@woodworkingandepoxy643 oh I’m sure they do lol. It is definitely crazy how different they operate. I do need to do a better job at saying what the metal is and not what my yard pays me for it. I do appreciate you pointing that out. Information is always valuable to me, so thanks again.

@@scrapitall200 anytime!

😂😂 You win for the most creative comment!

@@scrapitall200 Can't wait to get the check.

@@artstrology I’ll get right one that 😂

Thank you so much and I really do appreciate you going over to his channel, you rock!

Zelda reference?

@@scrapitall200 It is. But moreover, it counts as engagement. Good video. I appreciate you catching the brass pins in the tumbler, every gram counts!

Thank you, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment. Absolutely, it all adds up!

Begin quest music…..😂

Wow, I think I’d be sick of them too lol. Alligator shears? That sounds epic lol. Thank you for watching.

I could cut it in half, the reason I don’t is it uses up more of the cutoff wheel which costs money (albeit not that much of a difference) and also I’ll lose more weight from cutting it and turning it into dust (again, not that much loss, but still loss) I guess it comes down to personal preference. Thank you for the suggestion, I do appreciate the feedback. I never thought about saving the pins aka tumblers to sell to a locksmith. I’ll look into that, thank you! I might start doing the price comparisons, my only thought is there’s a big difference in scrap prices depending on where other people live. Great suggestion and I absolutely appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment.

@@scrapitall200 some can calculate about what they would earn at their scrap yard, I myself like watching it in a video a rough estimate on about what you will make as is to what you can make separating it, on the cutting in half with grinder is just a suggestion especially when you got bulk

@@moondog4313 yeah I can try and do that with some of my videos, it’s a good idea and I’m sure others will enjoy seeing the difference as well, thank you! As far as cutting the door knobs that way, I’m going to give it a try and I will let you know what I find out. Might even do a newer video and if I do I will make sure to credit you with the idea. Thanks again bud.

Glad to help. Thank you for watching.

Me too! I’m trying to figure out the settings. Thank you for your comment

Ads are the price of admission.

@@gaildeckant267 I watch quite of few different RU-vid creators and the ads don’t bother me, but I know for some people it can be a turn off. Now that my channel has been monetized I was able to turn on skippable ads which make a big difference for the viewer. Thank you for stopping by!

I’m a hobby scrapper and I don’t count my time. But, I did make $4,000 last year doing what I do as a hobby.

Yeah I know. My scrap yard pays me cast aluminum price for that and I got into the habit of calling it that. Thanks! I’ve gotten better at not calling it that anymore lol Thank you for watching.

Every door knob I’ve ever done is brass as you can see in this video. I’m a hobby scrapper and I do it because it’s really fun, the money is the cherry on top

Thank you for watching and your feedback, I appreciate it. That’s just my nerves getting to me, I expect as I get more comfortable talking to a camera things will flow more smoothly.

I, for one, appreciated the detail as processing door knobs like this are new to me.

@@al9929 thank you, I appreciate that.

Same with my yard, they categorize it as cast aluminum so I got into the habit of calling it that. Thank you for watching.

What’s that?

I can’t see an email address for you! God bless

Most don’t have that tab!
