FAQs

Can I use these knobs on exterior doors?

These are primarily designed for internal use. Exposure to harsh outdoor elements may damage the finish and the ebonised wood.

What is the diameter of the knob?

The knob has a diameter of 55mm.

Does it come with a spindle?

Yes, the set is supplied as a pair and includes all necessary fixings for standard installation.

Is the finish tarnish-resistant?

The polished silver finish is durable, but it should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its luster over time.

Will this work with a standard tubular latch?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard mortice latch or lock mechanisms.

What is the protrusion of the knob?

The knob protrudes 85mm from the door surface.

Troubleshooting

The knob feels loose or wobbly after installation.

Tighten the grub screws located on the neck of the knob using a hex key to ensure it is firmly locked onto the spindle.

The wood grip feels dry or dull.

Apply a very small amount of high-quality wood wax or furniture polish to a cloth and buff the wood gently to restore its sheen.

Difficulty turning the latch.

Check that the door is properly aligned with the strike plate and that the spindle is not binding within the lock mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic Victorian-inspired design
  • Comfortable and unique ebonised wood grip
  • Versatile for rim or mortice installations
  • Robust construction for daily use
  • Includes all required hardware

Cons

  • 85mm protrusion may be too deep for some narrow hallways
  • Wood grip requires periodic care to prevent drying
  • Not suitable for outdoor use where exposed to extreme weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your door is pre-drilled for a standard mortice lock or prepared for a rim latch assembly. Always use the provided fixings to avoid stripping the thread on the metallic components. For the ebonised wood handle, it is recommended to wipe it occasionally with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the polish from the metal and affect the finish of the wood. If the knob feels loose after heavy use, check the grub screws periodically to ensure they remain tightened.
