Pair of Black Porcelain Door Knobs With Black Iron Shanks

We recently had installed three interior 4 panel doors in our 1895 Queen Anne Victorian. We wanted hardware to compliment or best match the existing doors, and low and behold Antique Hardware had it! Thanks a million.

These knobs are extremely well made. I have purchased them twice and both times I was very pleased. The porcelain has a great finish and the knobs have a wonderful weight to them. They look simply fantastic in our vintage home. My wife and I looked had already purchased authentic vintage knobs, but in the end replaced them with these. These were half the cost and the way they mount to the spindle is superior to our antique knobs. Also, one of the other reviewers noted that the spindle was too big to fit his locks. I had the same issue, until I realized that spindle it ships with just has a soft metal collar in the middle (you can actually see it in the online picture). You can pull this off with a pair of pliers easily, and it then fits US locks with zero problems. The screw on spindle itself is fantastic. WAY better than the old kind with only a few positions for the knob. This style allows you to get the perfect fit for any width door. House of Antique Hardware has a clear winner with these.

Spindle size measured 0.304 in, which is larger than the typical 9/32 (0.28in) used in the US and too big to fit into my old lock. I am guessing it is the UK size of 19/64, but just measured a bit larger. The threads did fit a regular 9/32 spindle I had, so it worked OK. Also, it uses 2 hex set screws on each side instead of a traditional standard set screw - probably a better design.
