What happens when you turn the lock on a doorknob?

Where do I find the screws to remove the handle?
While most handles are secured with exposed mounting screws, you might need to check for a slot in the neck of the knob or lever. If you can’t find any visible screws or slots, see if you can pry off or unscrew the cover plate behind the handle. Behind it, you should find mounting screws, which you can then loosen to remove the handle.
Where do you put the lock on a screen door?

Is there a way to change the handle on a door lock?
Failing that, head to Menard’s and find a door lock with a button instead of the little up/sideways handle. If you are lucky, the internal design of the locks are the same and you can just replace the inside knob so you don’t have to play around with re-keying. If you aren’t, you would have to replace the whole setup.
What is the danger with set screw locking bearings?

How is a slot locked on a screw?
A slot is machined into a nut and the nut is deformed to compress the slot as shown below. When the nut is tightened onto the male thread it forces the nut back to its original geometry. The thread system is locked by the built in friction..
What’s the best way to lock a screw?
The nuts are fully tightened and a hole is drilled through the male thread to align with one of the slots. Split cotter pins are then inserted through the nut and the male thread and bent to hold it in position. This is a very effective and positive locking device but is expensive to install.
Is there a case for not including locking devices?
The induced tightening torque may be relieved but this does not necessarily result in the screw/nut loosening. Also when a machine has a large number of screws retaining non-critical items which are regularly used,such as inspection covers, there may be a case for not including locking devices.
