k Mad: Our home was built 1998 and has a sears garage. The garage door lock handle snapped off and broke. We went to H Depot and Lowes and the locks they have does not fit. I contacted Sears and they said they do not carry that part any longer. The handle I saw in this video looks similar to the one we have. Can you tell me where did you get that part and if it's no longer available, please make a video of how to hide the holes on a perfectly working garage that doesn't need replacing. Thank you.
holy moly: Nice shirt, and an assistant to hold the handle = RESPECT. I wear an old T shirt and use a bit of tape.
Melissa Rosson: If you have no one to help ... use a little Duc Tape to hold the new lock on the outside of door while you work from the inside :)
Cheryl Hilton: how do you replace the wire on the handle that goes to the latches on each side??
P Snitkin: What if you cannot access your garage from inside your house?
christopher mercado: Where can I buy the same lock without key.
redone5615: The subject of this video is "How to Replace..." Key word is REPLACE. I have been trying to find instructions on how to replace my manual garage door handle & lock. I can't get the old one off because there is a dark colored locking disk with a cross cut into it on the inside around the square peg that fits through the door. I can't cut it off. I can't pry it up off the peg. No one at Home Depot, Do-it Center or Lowes knows how to get this disk off. Once it's on, it doesn't come off. I can't get needle nose plyers under it. How do I get it off to replace this garage door lock?
Neko Mimi: Hey... Was this simple? Yes... But did I know it was going to be this simple before I watched this video? NO! I was worried that it would be complicated since I've never had to do this before, so I'm GLAD that they made a video that shows how it is done, even if it is basically plug'n'play! Don't be a dick... They made a video to HELP PEOPLE and I'm grateful for it because now I know that when I go to do it myself on Monday, when the handle I purchased arrives, I'll have no problems!

WSTLNZ: Hi JAKE of Specialised Garage Doors ! (a "for-real" door handle installer person) You obviously INSTALL a lot of "handles" as you STATE - "It's EASIER if you have an assistant" 0:53 (OR A SPARE PAIR OF HANDS - (likethe FOUR HANDS of a MONKEY) Oh-- a HUMAN spare pair, well that's an assistant isn't it ? As YOU (a Specialised Garage Door "installer") can't HOLD the new handle IN PLACE because it's difficult ON your own. Well.? USE a brain & hold it (yourself) with the shaft - from the inside.!!!
