Description

These small brass door knobs are ideal for authentic colonial interiors or wherever an understated hardware treatment is desired. Cast from solid brass with a highly polished finish, they're as durable as they are attractive. They look wonderful paired with our small cast brass rosettes or with any of our rim locks. The knobs are not lacquered and may be kept polished or allowed to darken naturally.

Dimensions. Knobs: 1 7/8" diameter. Shank diameter is slightly more than 5/8", drilled for a 20 TPI spindle. Spindle: 4 1/2" L x 5/16". Includes an Allen wrench and set screws for mounting knobs to spindle.

Hardware Tip

How do I know what door knobs will work with a particular rosette or door plate? The knob shank diameter should be a little less than the inside collar diameter on the rosette.

a good product for old house resortation

Comments:

We have an early federal period plantation house in Maryland. Finding replacement parts and compatible hardware has been really difficult. Most modern door hardware components are too large and too ornate for the federal period. These knobs are the only product I have found that is close to the size and style for many federal period houses. They are not the same as our original knobs that are oval, hollow and slightly smaller. The style is close enough for all but purists. The knobs have a really nice heavy feel, and they are very well finished an polished. The knobs are locked to the spindle by two set screws, a really nice feature. My only minor complaint is that the spindle threads are cut a little short for standard modern doors. When used with the 1 7/8 colonial rosettes the knobs wobbled since they did not tighten enough. I had to file a little off the un-threaded portion of the spindle to properly tighten the knob set. This is not a serious problem, if you have a file, or you can shim it with a thin washer. These knobs go well with the 1 7/8 colonial rosettes.

Antique style door knob

Comments:

The rosette is necessary for use and does not come with it, which doesn't make sense. Also, the stem is too long, so the knob shifts back and forth..

At long last....the perfect knobs.

I am restoring and renovating an 18th century stone tavern and have looked, literally for years, for authentic knobs such as these. Superior quality and very affordable. I am very pleased.

great product for screen door

Comments:

This is a solid machined brass item. We remove lacquer, and treated it with ammonia fumes to rapidly age it. Looks great installed. Much much more durable than a stamped brass piece.

Really nice brass finish. I like the way they match the original in my house. The salesman was very helpful when I ordered these.
