This Victorian Mortice Door Knob by SPIRA BRASS is designed for homeowners seeking to add a touch of authentic vintage style to their interior and exterior doors.

This is a mortise door knob, designed to be used with a mortise lock mechanism.
Yes, the solid brass construction makes it durable and suitable for exterior door applications.
The knob diameter is 55mm, the rose diameter is 60mm, the rose thickness is 8mm, and the projection from the door is 60mm.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution followed by drying is recommended.
The knob is cast from solid brass.
This product is the door knob set and mechanism; it does not include a separate key or lock cylinder, which would be part of the mortise lock system it attaches to.
Installation requires preparing a mortise in the door for the lock and mechanism. If you are comfortable with basic woodworking and hardware installation, it is manageable. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure.
Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and not binding. Check for any obstructions within the mortise lock mechanism or door. The heavy-sprung nature can initially feel firm; ensure it's fully engaged.
Check and tighten the fixing screws that secure the rose and knob to the door. Ensure the spindle is properly seated within both knobs.
The aged brass finish is intentional. If it's not to your liking, consult care instructions for aged brass finishes. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. Gentle buffing with a soft cloth may help restore some luster.
Setup:
Installation typically involves preparing a mortise (a recess cut into the door edge) to accommodate the knob's mechanism and spindle. Ensure you have the appropriate tools for woodworking and door hardware installation. The knob and rose are usually attached via screws, often concealed after installation for a clean look.
Compatibility:
This mortise knob is designed to work with mortise locks. It is generally compatible with standard door thicknesses. Ensure your door has the necessary mortise preparation or is suitable for modification.
Care:
To maintain the aged brass finish, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying thoroughly with a clean cloth. Periodically check that screws remain tight to ensure optimal performance.
