Key Considerations When Choosing Dummy Door Knobs
- Application: Confirm if you need a single dummy (for one side of a door, like a closet) or a double dummy (for both sides, like French doors).
- Aesthetics: Since dummy knobs are primarily decorative, focus on a style and finish that enhances the overall look of your room and coordinates with other nearby hardware.
- Door Material & Thickness: While typically surface-mounted, ensure the mounting screws are appropriate for your door's material (wood, MDF, etc.).
- Matching Hardware: Consider how the dummy knob will look with any existing functional knobs, levers, or hinges in the same space to ensure a cohesive design.
- Door Operation: Remember dummy knobs do not latch. If you need the door to stay closed, you will also need a separate roller catch, magnetic catch, or ball catch.
