My door knob has gotten noticeably loose — is that something I can tighten myself, or does it usually point to a bigger underlying issue?
A loose knob is sometimes just a backing screw that's worked itself out over time, but it can also indicate that the spindle or internal chassis has worn to the point where tightening won't hold — a distinction that's easy to misread without taking the hardware apart. Forcing a fix on a failing chassis often results in the knob failing completely, sometimes at the worst possible time.
