Explore Our Door Knob Collection
Our extensive range of door knobs is designed to fulfill every requirement:
- Keyed Entry Knobs: Provide secure access for exterior doors, often featuring a locking mechanism on the interior and a key cylinder on the exterior. Options range from traditional to modern designs, ensuring your entry makes a statement.
- Privacy Knobs: Ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, and other spaces where personal privacy is desired. These knobs typically lock from the interior (via a push-button or turn-button) and include an emergency release feature on the exterior.
- Passage Knobs: Designed for hallways, closets, and other areas where no locking mechanism is required. They allow for easy passage through doors and offer a consistent look with your other door knobs.
- Dummy Knobs: Non-turning knobs used purely for decorative purposes or for wardrobe doors that only require a pull function. They provide a matching aesthetic without any latching mechanism.
- Material Variety: Discover door knobs in timeless solid brass, sleek stainless steel, elegant crystal, durable bronze, and more, each offering a distinct texture and visual appeal.
- Extensive Finishes: Match your existing decor with a wide array of finishes including lustrous polished brass, subtle satin nickel, rich oil-rubbed bronze, contemporary matte black, classic antique brass, and bright polished chrome.
Key Considerations When Selecting Door Knobs
- Functionality: Determine the purpose of the door. Do you need security (keyed entry), privacy (privacy), or just a simple passage (passage, dummy)?
- Door Handing & Backset: While many door knobs are reversible, always verify compatibility with your door's handing (left-hand vs. right-hand) and measure your backset (distance from door edge to center of bore hole) for a perfect fit.
- Style & Finish Harmony: Choose a knob style and finish that complements your home's architectural period and existing fixtures. Consistency across all your door knobs creates a cohesive look.
- Material & Durability: For high-traffic areas or exterior doors, opt for durable materials like solid brass or stainless steel and robust finishes that can withstand constant use and environmental exposure.
- Ergonomics & Comfort: Consider how the knob feels in your hand. While aesthetics are important, comfort and ease of turning are key for daily use.
- Installation: Most door knobs are designed for standard door preparations, making DIY installation feasible. However, ensure you have the necessary tools and refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Door Knobs
Q: What are the different types of door knob functions?
A: The main functions for door knobs include keyed entry (for locking exterior doors with a key), privacy (for locking interior doors like bedrooms/bathrooms without a key), passage (for interior doors where no lock is needed, like hallways or closets), and dummy (non-turning knobs used for decorative purposes or pull-only doors).
Q: How do I choose the right finish for my door knobs?
A: When choosing a finish for your door knobs, consider your existing decor, other hardware (like hinges or light fixtures), and your personal style. Popular choices include classic polished brass and oil-rubbed bronze for traditional homes, and sleek satin nickel or matte black for modern spaces.
Q: Are door knobs easy to install myself?
A: Many door knobs are designed for straightforward DIY installation, especially if you're replacing existing hardware on a standard door preparation. Most come with clear instructions and necessary mounting hardware. However, for new door installations or if you're unsure, professional installation is always an option.
Q: Can I use a door knob on an exterior door?
A: Yes, you can use a door knob on an exterior door, but it must be a keyed entry function knob for security. It's often recommended to pair it with a separate deadbolt for enhanced security, as a layered approach offers better protection.
Q: What does "backset" mean when buying a door knob?
A: The "backset" is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole (the large hole where the door knob assembly fits). Standard backsets are typically 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches. It's crucial to measure your door's backset before purchasing a new knob to ensure compatibility.
