The door leading outside from my garage has two holes for locks -- the

The lever is on the inside.

off on the outside. *The knob came off and is just sitting there on
the stem. *The door still locks fine ... but it looks bad and I want
to change it myself.
If I buy just the bottom part - *it looks like the kind that is used
on interior doors - no keys. *How hard are those to install? *The one
that is on there has two screws.
I can call a handy man service to come out and do it but would like to
save the money if I can. *Thanks.
It should be easy. *Remove the knobs and parts from the door inside
and outside. * Then there should be a couple of screws holding the
latch and the rest of it in from the side of the door. *Remove those
and pull the mechanism out through the side.
If it is exposed to the weather, you will need an outdoor doorknob
that is weatherproof.
