FAQs

What type of lock is required for these knobs?

These are mortice knobs, meaning they are designed to be used with a mortice lock that is installed within a cavity in the door. A spindle bar passes through the lock to connect the two knobs.

Are these knobs suitable for exterior doors?

While made of solid brass, the aged bronze finish is primarily intended for interior use. Prolonged exposure to weather may affect the finish over time.

What is included in the pair?

Each pair includes two mortice knobs, two rose plates, a square spindle bar, and all necessary fixing screws for installation.

Can I use these with a standard tubular latch?

No, these knobs are specifically designed for use with mortice locks that feature a square spindle hole. They are not compatible with standard tubular latches that typically use a round spindle.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as this information is not provided in the product description.

How do I determine the correct size spindle?

The spindle is typically a standard size (often 8mm square) designed to fit common mortice locks. The included spindle should be compatible with most standard UK mortice lock backsets.

Can the etched design be polished out?

It is not recommended to polish out the etched design, as this would alter the intended aesthetic of the knob and could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels stiff or doesn't return smoothly

Ensure the spindle bar is correctly aligned and not binding within the lock mechanism. Check that the mortice lock itself is functioning freely. Verify that the rose plates are not overtightened against the door, causing friction.

Knobs are loose on the door

Tighten the screws securing the rose plates to the door. If the spindle feels loose within the knob, ensure the grub screws (if present) or internal fixings are secured.

Finish appears dull or discolored

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a very slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals. Some subtle changes in the aged bronze finish over time are normal and contribute to its character.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction ensures longevity.
  • Elegant aged bronze finish enhances aesthetic appeal.
  • Unique etched design offers a contemporary twist on a classic style.
  • Includes all necessary fixings for straightforward installation.
  • Heavy sprung mechanism provides excellent usability.

Cons

  • Requires a mortice lock preparation in the door, which may not be pre-existing.
  • Solid brass can be prone to tarnishing over extended periods if not maintained.
  • The classic design may not suit extremely modern or minimalist interiors.
  • Installation may require specific tools and woodworking skills.
  • Sold in pairs, which might lead to excess if only one knob is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These door knobs require a mortice lock to be installed within the door. The set includes a square spindle bar that passes through the lock mechanism, connecting the two knobs. Fixings for the rose plates are also provided. Ensure the door is prepared with the correct cut-outs for both the mortice lock and the spindle.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard mortice locks requiring a 5mm or 8mm spindle. Suitable for doors up to a standard thickness (typically 35-54mm).

Care: To maintain the aged bronze finish, wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Periodically check that fixings remain tight.
