Are these door knobs sprung or unsprung?
These Spira Brass Burcot door knobs are unsprung. This means they require a double-sprung mortice latch or lock to operate correctly.

The door knobs are constructed from solid brass with a polished nickel finish.
What is the diameter of the knob and rose?

Can these be used on exterior doors?
While made of brass, the polished nickel finish is best suited for interior use to maintain its appearance, as exterior conditions can accelerate wear and tarnishing.

Troubleshooting

Ensure all fixing screws are tightened securely. Check that the spindle is correctly seated within the lock mechanism and the knob.
Door does not latch properly
Verify that a double-sprung latch is installed. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned with the latch mechanism and that there are no obstructions.
Discoloration on the polished nickel finish
This may be due to tarnishing or residue. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
