Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this knob come with a locking mechanism?

The set includes an escutcheon plate; however, the actual rim or mortice lock mechanism must be purchased separately based on your door's requirements.

Can these be used on exterior doors?

While they can be used outdoors, iron is prone to rusting when exposed to the elements. Ensure the door is sheltered and perform regular maintenance.

What is the diameter of the knob?

This model features a standard round profile suitable for most internal door types; please measure your existing door thickness to ensure a perfect fit.

Is the grey finish a paint or a natural finish?

The grey finish is a specialized rustic coating applied to the iron to create an antique look; it is not a standard glossy paint.

Are mounting screws included?

Yes, the product includes the necessary fixings to mount the knob and escutcheon to your door.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose after installation

Check the grub screw on the side of the knob to ensure it is tightened securely against the spindle.

Signs of surface oxidation (rust) appearing

Gently remove the oxidation with a soft wire brush and apply a light layer of beeswax or protective oil to seal the iron.

Door latch is sticking

Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant into the latch mechanism inside the door edge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality forged iron construction
  • Authentic rustic visual appeal
  • Includes essential matching escutcheon plate
  • Versatile for both rim and mortice installations

Cons

  • Iron finish requires maintenance to avoid rust
  • Heavier than modern hollow metal knobs
  • Grey finish may show surface marks over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a drill, screwdriver, and chisels if mounting a mortice latch. Ensure your door thickness is compatible with the provided spindle length. For maintenance, it is recommended to occasionally wipe the knobs with a light coating of natural beeswax or a furniture-grade oil. This helps seal the iron surface, prevents surface rust, and maintains the depth of the grey finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these will strip the authentic antique patina.
