The Hammer & Tongs Octagonal Rim & Mortice Door Knob is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to add an authentic, rustic aesthetic to their interior doors. Forged from high-quality iron with a sophisticated grey finish, these knobs provide a heavy-duty feel and an immediate visual upgrade to any space. While they offer exceptional character, potential buyers should note that as iron hardware, they require periodic maintenance to prevent surface oxidation compared to modern stainless steel alternatives.

These are primarily designed for internal use. Exposure to constant rain and moisture will lead to rapid rusting of the iron.
Yes, the product is supplied with the necessary fixings and the matching escutcheon plate for a standard installation.
The knob features a width of 60mm, which is standard for most residential internal doors.
Yes, the spindle size is compatible with most standard UK mortice latch mechanisms.
Keep the iron dry and occasionally apply a clear wax polish to maintain the finish and prevent oxidation.
Check the grub screw on the side of the knob to ensure it is tightened firmly against the spindle.
Gently buff the area with wire wool and apply a protective layer of beeswax to seal the iron.
Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill and screwdriver, to mount the spindle and escutcheon plate properly. The hardware is designed for both rim-lock (surface mounted) and mortice (recessed) installations, making it highly versatile for restoration projects.
For care, wipe the hardware periodically with a soft, dry cloth. If you are installing these in a drafty or potentially damp environment, consider applying a thin coat of clear beeswax or a light furniture wax to the iron surface. This creates a protective barrier that prevents the grey finish from developing surface rust while maintaining its authentic, muted appearance.
