My door knobs turn very hard. I have to use two hands to turn them. If you don't turn them far enough to open the door it will spring back to the closed position.

I'm trying to finish up an old utility room that was attached to our house. I don't believe the previous owner framed in the windows and door properly, and so it is making "finishing" the job difficult. [URL=http://home.ragon.org/gallery/Home_2005-06-09?page=1]Pictures[/URL] Almost to the bottom of the page. Click on the photo for a larger view, click again for yet larger. I'd like to finish this room by insulating and putty drywall, but I can't figure out how the wood pieces will go around the windows, and how the trim will then be attached. Part of the problem is the almost non-existant space between the door and the window. Also the door is mounted so that the face of the door is "recessed" and not in line with the final plane of the drywall. We will eventually be putting in new windows and door in this room, but that project is probably a year down the road. For now we'd like to finish it and make it as nice as possible. If we have to tear up some drywall & trim a year from now and lose a little money because of it, we're okay so long as it looks good for now. Any ideas? Thanks!!!!!
