If the set screw for your Kwikset Reversible Pin & Tumbler Entry Set has fallen out, here’s how you can put it back: Locate the Set Screw: First, find the set screw that fell out. It’s a small screw that secures the lever or knob on the door handle. Clean the Area: Make sure the area where the set screw goes is clean and free from debris. You can use a cloth or a small brush to remove any dirt or dust. Insert the Set Screw: Place the set screw back into the hole where it belongs. Use a screwdriver (usually a hex key or Allen wrench) to tighten it securely. Turn it clockwise to ensure it’s snug. Test the Handle: After tightening the set screw, test the door handle. Make sure it’s secure and doesn’t wobble. If needed, adjust the screw until the handle feels stable. Remember that the set screw is essential for keeping the door handle in place, so it’s crucial to reattach it promptly.
