   • Gently Shake the Doorknob. When facing a doorknob that won’t turn, the first thing you should try is to give it a bit of a jiggle. Don’t shake it so hard that it breaks, but move it around a bit to see if you can loosen up the jammed parts.
   • Lubricate the Doorknob. If gently shaking and jiggling the stuck doorknob doesn’t work, try a bit of lubricant. Lubricant can shake loose the rusted parts of an old and worn knob.
   • Loosen the Screws. Sometimes, even a brand new doorknob lock won’t turn. This can be baffling to homeowners, as surely a good quality doorknob will not warp or rust that quickly.
   • Check the Latch. Check the latch to see if it is retracted while the doorknob is stuck. It can mean that the door latch is misaligned or obstructed. If the latch is stuck in some way, take a flathead screwdriver and place it above the latch.

   • Check for obvious signs of wear. Check the knob for obvious signs of wear or damage. Bent knobs may cause the lock to bind. Straighten the damaged area with a small screwdriver or other tool.
   • Loosen the screws. Loosen the screws on newly installed or adjusted knob locks. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws on either side of the base of the handle.
   • Test the knob. Test the knob once screws are loose to see if the lock is functioning correctly. If so, tighten the screws until they are just snugged down.
   • Lubricate knob locks with graphite. Squirt a small amount of graphite into the seam around the lock. Wiggle the lock toggle or thumb button as you apply the graphite to work it into the mechanism.
