4 3/4" Threaded and Tapped Doorknob Swivel Spindle with 3/8" Removable Centers

I was relieved to find someone who had the patience and knowledge to help me identify the part I needed to replace in my old door knob. The price was fantastic and it works. I no longer am opening my front door with a chopstick.

I want to keep my house looking good with repairs that are historically accurate (no new shiny brass doorknobs!). This swivel spindle means I can keep the original doorknob. Repairs by the rental company don't preserve the historical look of my house so I opted to do this myself and House of Antique Hardware made it possible!

Maybe it's just me, I'm not sure how to make this spindle not unscrew from the inside of the door when turned the wrong way. I'm sure it's just me. It' works great. Just that I don't know how to do this. I worked the old one out, and reused the doorknobs and its soooo much better. the old one was sheered off and would often loosen and spin way too easily, with no way to tighten it. Especially when the teenagers twisted it so hard. The threads had been rounded over the years. The knob was stuck on one side because of that. I backed it off and the customer service had guided me getting the size and style right. Very big improvement.

Perfect fit. Just as described for our older mortise doors.

Needed to fix my old door and this worked perfectly!

Staff helped me find exactly what I needed

If you have antique (old) door knobs, these are the spindles you want. 1/4"" width with 3/8"" removable centers cover all width sizes. If too long, you can easily file/grind them shorter if needed. The swivels allow for correct fit on varying door thicknesses. They're perfect.

If you need a split spindle or one that's tapped with screw threads, this is what you need. These fit almost all sizes of mortise lock. The spacers for the larger diameter holes are easy to get off. If you don't need it to accept screws, and your knob can work with the threaded spindles and a set screw only, there are cheaper alternatives. Otherwise this is it.

Its a very old door, I thought parts were no longer made for it. I found the house of antiques on line. They provided measurements for me (most others don't) and the piece was here in two days. The fit was exact and worked perfect.
