FAQs

Can these knobs be used on exterior doors?

Yes, they are suitable for doors, but ensure they are used with appropriate weather-resistant latching hardware if exposed to elements.

Are these knobs sold individually or as a pair?

This product is supplied as a set of two knobs, covering both sides of the door.

Does the set include the mortice lock mechanism?

This set includes the knobs and the escutcheon plate; check your local hardware store if you require a new mortice latch mechanism.

What is the diameter of these knobs?

These knobs have a width of 60mm.

How do I clean the gold finish?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid chemical polishes as they may damage the protective coating.

Troubleshooting

The handle feels loose or wobbly

Tighten the grub screw on the neck of the knob using an Allen key to ensure it is firmly attached to the spindle.

The knob does not latch properly

Check that the door mortice latch is aligned correctly with the strike plate on the door frame.

Stiff turning motion

Check that the spindle is not too long or that the screws securing the escutcheon are not causing the mechanism to bind.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds an instant authentic antique appearance to any door
  • High-quality gold finish provides a luxury aesthetic
  • Includes essential escutcheon plate for a cohesive look
  • Versatile design fits multiple door mechanisms

Cons

  • Gold finish may require specific cleaning agents to prevent tarnishing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill and a screwdriver. Begin by ensuring the spindle is centered correctly before tightening the grub screws. These knobs are compatible with most standard interior door mortice latches. To maintain the finish, wipe the knobs periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the gold-tone plating. If the knob becomes loose over time, check the grub screw on the side and tighten it using a suitable Allen key.
