With a tape measure
Here's what I do for modelling... take a tape measure and measure your house door? :)
You are supposed to measure the "rough" opening. This is distance from the studs that line the door opening. (not from the door frame itself) Top to bottom then from side to side. If you already have a door there and are just replacing it then you can just measure the door and get one of the same size. Good luck.
You find a tape measure and take the measurement across the door, then the length of it, then if necessary the thickness.
A complete door consist of subframe,frame,architrave and lock with door handle
use the template that comes with the door handle read the instructions until you understand them measure three times cut once.
take off door panel. get a drill and drill out the rivet that is on the door handle bracket. and unscrew the others. and pop out linkage and then install new one
Remove the door panel. Drill out the rivets in the exterior handle with a 1/4 drill. Carefully pull the handle out and disconnect the pull rod. Use small bolts and lock nuts to reattach.
yes remove door panel drill rivets replace with new door handel from gm dealership
You would need to remove the door panel, and disconnect the rods going to the door handle. The you would need to drill the rivits out of the middle of the door handle. I have included an instructional video that shows you how to do this, located below.
It is not too hard. You will have to remove the door panel, then you will see how the interior handle is riveted to the metal door frame work. You will need to drill these rivets out and install the new handle with either rivets or screws.
Drill it out and when replacing use a screw.
Just drill the rivets out and use new rivets to hold the handle in place.
I believe the original handle is riveted on. If so, you can drill out the rivet and use nut's and bolts to reattach.
you got to drill out the rivets from the outside and that's about it then there is a clip on the inside that you need to unhook to do that you need to remove the door panel that's it
You must replace the handle, they are made of plastic. For the inner- remove both screws in the door panel[in the grab handle] remove the trim from the door handle. Remove window crank and with proper tool remove door panel. Tool is cheap. With panel off, there will be one rivet holding old door handle in place. Drill out rivet [ 3/16 ] and slide whole door handle assembly forward. Carefully remove door and lock rods and reverse the process to assemble. Outer- One bolt is behind door panel and the other is on the outside edge of the door right behind the handle. Simply remove bolts, remove handle and swap door lock into new handle and replace.
door handleMore than likely the handle is broken, Just remove door panel and drill rivits holding handle in place and go to parts store an get replacement handle about $10, Get a rivit gun and rivit back on. Once you see it you will find it quite simple.
