Remove the Strike Plate
You'll need to replace the latch plate when you replace the handle. This is the plate that holds the hole where the door's latch hooks in when the door is closed. The packaging that the new handles are packaged in will include two latch plates - one that is rectangular and the other a circular one (see the diagram above detailing the components of a door handle). If you have a rectangular latch plate, you can replace it with a round one. This will allow the latch to be able to hook into the strike plate and make the handle easier.
