I've twisted the inside door knob's faceplate off and I can see the screws that hold the inside and the outside door knobs together but how do I get the faceplate off so I can put a screwdriver to them? I've been reading up on it but I'm not getting anywhere. Thanks.

As mention though post a picture, you’re just missing something. __________________ A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words Especially In The DIY Chatroom -NEW MEMBERS- Please include your basic location in your profile.
