Remove the old knob by unscrewing it or using a drill to remove the screws.

Attach the rose (the decorative plate that covers the hole) on one side of the door and secure it with screws.
Attach the knob or lever on the other side and secure it with screws.
Test the door knob to ensure it works correctly.
