Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these knobs be used on exterior doors?

These are primarily designed for internal use. Exposure to constant rain and moisture will lead to rapid rusting of the iron.

Does the set include screws?

Yes, the product is supplied with the necessary fixings and the matching escutcheon plate for a standard installation.

What is the diameter of the knob?

The knob features a width of 60mm, which is standard for most residential internal doors.

Will this fit a standard modern latch?

Yes, the spindle size is compatible with most standard UK mortice latch mechanisms.

How do I maintain the grey finish?

Keep the iron dry and occasionally apply a clear wax polish to maintain the finish and prevent oxidation.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose after installation

Check the grub screw on the side of the knob to ensure it is tightened firmly against the spindle.

Surface shows signs of orange discoloration

Gently buff the area with wire wool and apply a protective layer of beeswax to seal the iron.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, heavy-duty iron construction
  • Includes essential matching escutcheon plate
  • Fits both rim and mortice locking systems
  • Authentic rustic period-appropriate aesthetic

Cons

  • Requires maintenance to prevent rust
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas without treatment
  • Heavier than standard plastic or hollow metal knobs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
