FAQs

What type of lock does this knob work with?

This knob is designed for use with a standard mortice lock mechanism, which is typically installed within a cut-out (mortice) in the door's edge.

Does the mortice lock come with the knobs?

No, the mortice lock mechanism is sold separately. This product includes the door knobs and escutcheon plates.

What material is the knob made of?

The knobs are forged from iron with a rustic, raw finish.

Is the black finish painted on?

The description indicates a 'raw finish,' suggesting it is the natural colour of the iron rather than a painted coating. This contributes to its authentic antique appearance.

How do I clean the knobs?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For maintenance in humid areas, a light wax polish can help protect the iron.

What is the diameter of the knob?

The knob has a diameter of 60mm.

Can these knobs be used for exterior doors?

While they can be used externally, the raw iron finish may require more frequent maintenance to prevent rust in exposed conditions compared to interior use.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose or wobbly.

Check that the screws securing the escutcheon plates and knobs are fully tightened. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated within the lock mechanism.

Knob is difficult to turn.

Verify that the mortice lock mechanism is functioning smoothly. Ensure the spindle is not bent and that the knobs are aligned correctly on the spindle without obstruction.

Surface rust appearing on the knob.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. For persistent rust, gently use fine steel wool (0000 grade) and then apply a protective wax or sealant suitable for iron.

Knob does not return to the original position.

This usually indicates an issue with the internal mortice lock mechanism, not the knob itself. Inspect or replace the mortice lock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds significant aesthetic appeal with its antique, rustic design.
  • Durable iron construction ensures long-lasting use.
  • Includes all necessary components for installation (knob and escutcheon plate).
  • Provides a unique character that mass-produced knobs lack.
  • Comes in a pack of two, suitable for double doors or multiple applications.

Cons

  • The raw iron finish may be susceptible to rust in very humid or wet conditions if not maintained.
  • Installation may require a mortice to be cut into the door, which could be a challenge for beginners.
  • The rustic finish is a specific aesthetic that might not suit all interior designs.
  • May not be compatible with all modern lock mechanisms without modification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mortice Preparation: Ensure a mortice is cut into the edge of your door to accommodate the mortice lock mechanism (sold separately).
  2. Spindle Installation: Insert the mortice lock spindle through the door and the lock mechanism.
  3. Knob Attachment: Slide the door knobs onto the spindle from each side of the door, aligning them with the escutcheon plates.
  4. Securing Knobs: Typically, screws pass through the escutcheon plates and the door to secure the knobs and lock mechanism firmly.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use with standard mortice locks.
  • The 60mm diameter knob fits most standard spindle sizes.
  • Ensure your door is thick enough to accommodate the mortice lock.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the raw finish.
  • For areas prone to humidity, consider applying a light coat of wax polish periodically to protect the iron and prevent surface rust.
  • If minor surface rust appears, it can often be gently removed with a fine steel wool (grade 0000) followed by a protective wax.
