My project is stuck on Step 1. I can't figure out how to remove the dummy door handle. The non-dummy one came off easily. I thought a small nail pushed into the pinhole would allow me to pull off the handle like I did on the other handle. Nope! No give whatsoever. Nor do I see where one might use an allen wrench so that I might pull the dummy handle off. On both handles, they both have a small flat spring-loaded tab that I push upward in order to remove the cover plates once the handles are removed. This step works as designed but I can't get the dummy door handle off.

I want to sell my house so I am painting doors and removing tarnished doorknobs. I have removed an old Dexter privacy doorknob by popping the knobs off with a screwdriver. It polished up nicely but I cannot get it back on! There were no inside screws. I got everything together in the door but the knobs are loose and the plate against the door is not tight either. I can't afford to replace all the knobs. I did try buying a Kwik set and set it to 2 3/8 same as the old one. But then I realized the actual length of the latch is 1/2 longer so the knobs don't fit. Thanks!
