Remove door lock without visible screws and stuck latch spindle 

Absolute Legend! been struggling with this for over 3 months

Thank you so much. This is the exact lock we have and could NOT figure out how to get the bl00dy thing off

We were going crazy trying to work out what to do with a similar door lock we have. Watched endless videos without any luck and then we found this one. THANK YOU!

This is so helpful! Thanks to you I have fixed my problem ! 👍

You are an absolute legend. I've been struggling to do this all week. Watched your video and in 30 seconds I'd fixed it

I’m so glad I found this video. I tore one of these a part to get it off but had 6 to go - thought there had to be an easier way. You’re a legend!

I was going crazy trying to work out how to remove the spindle - thank you for having the exact video I needed.

Spent 1/2 an hour cursing this spindle and just about to use the hammer, until I viewed your clip. A huge thanks to

Legend! Thanks so much, I just cut it off took 2 seconds. Mine was a Gainsborough brand handle if anyones trying to figure it out like me.

Thank you so much - I was going crazy and watched so many videos and read so many articles - all of which were unhelpful .... and then I found yours and you saved the day - cheers!

Perfect description. Saved me plenty of time. Thanks!

Holy crap you saved me! I was wondering what was wrong with my latch compared to all the other tutorials!

Absolute legend I spent more time figuring that out than the whole install

❤ I should’ve checked this video before I spent one hour to fiddle around with the spindle. Thank you so much 😊

Had the same problem guys..frustrating🫤🤣 Thanks for the great video mate 👍

Great video. Thanks for doing this. I have 5 of these locks, 3 stopped working after 3 months of use. I need to do a DIY and replace.

Thank you for showing how to remove the spindle - brilliant!

After this video helped me realise there were covers in the way, I then found out that the allen key screw that was holding the cover on was stripped and preventing me from getting one cover off, but I did manage to fix several loose handles now though. Thanks heaps.

Just about to replace a latch today so this is top info

Oh my god. Thank you so much!!!! This absolutely drove me nuts when I tried to remove the spindle. That darn o ring!!!!!Happy to say that as soon as I saw your video, I was able to replace the door handle that’s been out of action for months. Cheers

Thanks mate. Great video and really clear.

Thanks 🙏🙏 mate it's help me I was stuck same step and waste one hour to remove whole lock unit and your video save me and I am so glad that I have fix new lock ,thanks again for your video

Another Aussie posting an unbelievable video that I didn't think would exist. Great stuff! You gotta laugh at how many people would have been really pissed getting that bit off. I did a quick search and bang. Onya mate

You're doing an awesome job dude.

Mate, that effin spindle drove me doo lally. Thanks for helping me regain the will to live. I'm now a sub, good on ya.

Cheers, mate, I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to get the damn lock out.

Great simple video which will save me heaps of time. 😊🙏👌

Great tips - I was stuck with it your advice on o ring did the trick - thanks

❤❤❤❤❤❤Thanks heaps. Your video helps me repair my door perfectly. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Really helpful! Really stupid O RING! Thank you!!!!

This video is great. The lock itself is one of the worst locks. The pin gets stuck very often. I am planning to get rid of gainsborough privacy locks and buy new button ones without the stupid pin design

I’m stuck at removing the cover 😫It’s not as easy as just turning left. Haven’t gotten to the ring part yet. It’s exactly the same brand I have here. Thanks for the vid

Brilliant mate thanks. You almost need to be a surgeon for this one. Cheers.

Thanks mate, I was going crazy trying to get that spindle out, you saved me from tearing the door down in frustration 😅

Saved me a huge headache. Cheers

Thanks for helping me fix my door, cheers Bill

Very helpful, thank you posting. I died my door handle

Your channel is such a nice change from all those commercial "faux DIY" channels with guys in branded polo shirts trying to sell you some whacky product.

Thanks brother, something as simple and small as that lead me to your video 😂

Bill to the rescue once again... 👏

you have saved me couple of hundred dollars. thank you very much.

Thanks Bill, It was driving me crazy

Bill you’re a legend - thanks!

Thanks champ, that damn o-ring had me!

Thank you. Was stuck with the o ring for two hours before i came across your video.

Thank you so much, got up to being able to remove the spindle, who would have thought that stupid rubber seal was the answer!

The issue is the spindles has gone in and the door is shut. Door won’t open now and has no handle, just the spindles stuck in it

Gainsborough Locks, yuk! Good Channel...

Years of confusion solved in 5 minutes. Well done, sir.

Thanks this saved me a massive amount of time!

Thanks Bill!Mate, I've come across a few of these over the years every now and then & they've had me stumped how to get out to make the painting easier.Now I know so, thank you! Loving the vids and tips, keep them coming champ!

thanks Bill.....solved thanks to you

Wonderful, you saved our sanity! Thank you 🙂

Thank you! I would never have figured this out.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, the spindle still wouldn't come loose after removing the washer. I had to use some locking pliers to yank it out. Hopefully this helps someone else.

Thank you so much , i try a lot of time !! Now i understand !!

Thankyou, i was about to rip the door off it hinges but you saved me. What is with the rubber washer, dumb. Love hearing a aussie voice on a RU-vid help channel .

Thank you!!! I couldn't work out how to remove the spindle either.

Wonderful video, saved the day for me, thanks!

Omy God I was getting to the crazy part lol. Thank you thank you

You are a champion mate… Double thumbs up 👍👍 from me…😊

Very good explain. Thanks

Thank you for the tips. Helped a lot. Where can you fibd the O ring, if it is punctured?

Great video Bill. Cheers mate.

Awesome! I had the door handles loose and rattling which this video helped me a lot. But why would I need to remove the spindle - to solve what problem? I just left it there and tightened the screws and the rattling is gone!

Thanks! Saved me!

Brilliant Bill! I couldn’t quite work out how to get that plate off. Now it is a piece of cake to tighten the screws again. Thanks for all your great videos. You’re a legend! Cheers Kev

Great video, Bill. Thanks 👍

Extremely useful

You saved my sanity!

Thanks buddy it’s just what I needed to know

Thank you so much

You are a life saver

Thanks for your video. Could you pls share the video where the spindle has a hole on one end. And use of allen key to remove

THANK YOU

You saved me , mate 😃

Thankyou very much bill amazing and straightforward video quick question i broke one of the rubber seals trying to take it off does it have to go back in when i put the handle back on cheers.

thanks mate, just what I needed

Hi Bill, thanks for the videos! Ive got the same gainsborough locks in our internal doors. The kids have been playing around with the locks and the push button screw has fallen out. Screwing it back in doesnt seem to lock the door - any ideas??

Thank you, very helpful

Keep up the good work mush!

You the MAN !!!!!

Nice.. best vid.. thanks dude

One word...... LEGEND

Thank you Bill

Hey Bill thanks for nice video. I have a different problem with my bathroom lock. When I push the pin, door isn’t still getting locked. Inadvertent entry in the bathroom is still possible when someone is inside thinking that door is locked. Kindly guide me.

Thanks, just what I needed to know

Thanks a lot mate..

Nice one Bill, thanks for the great video.

Great video! I was about to break out a saw

Thank-you! Sanity intact

Where is your hook tool Bill? Thanks for the great tips mate! 😀

Coooooool thank you

Thxs mate 👍👍👍

great video but did not have the patients or dexterity to remove it so i broke it but wanted to change it anyway

Mate thank youso much, that rubber oring, was a prick, thank you so much...legend

The other models just has a tiny button at the top of the spindle that you push down and slide through and the spindle comes out
