Product Information

Full details

The Spira Brass Connaught Knurled Door Knob in Gold is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a durable and stylish door hardware solution with a modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is the combination of solid brass construction for longevity and a unique knurled texture for enhanced grip and visual appeal. A potential consideration is that it is supplied as a pair and requires a mortice lock mechanism to function as a knob set.

FAQs

What material are these door knobs made from?

The Spira Brass Connaught Knurled Door Knobs are made from high-quality solid brass.

Are these knobs sprung or unsprung?

These are unsprung knobs and are designed to be used with a mortice lock mechanism that is also unsprung or has sufficient spring strength.

What is the diameter of the knob and the rose?

The knob diameter is 55mm, and the rose diameter is 60mm.

Can these knobs be used on exterior doors?

While made of solid brass, they are best suited for interior doors. For exterior doors, consider hardware specifically designed for weather resistance.

How should I clean and maintain the gold finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For best results and to maintain shine, use a specific brass polish occasionally, applied with a soft cloth.

Do these come with the necessary screws or spindle?

The knobs are designed to be fitted onto a standard mortice lock spindle and use the fixings provided with the mortice lock itself. The knobs attach to the spindle.

What is the overall protrusion from the door surface?

The knobs have a protrusion of 55mm from the door surface.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose on the spindle

Ensure the grub screws on the knob's collar are tightened securely onto the mortice lock spindle. Check that the spindle is correctly inserted into the lock.

Knob is difficult to turn

Verify that the mortice lock mechanism is functioning smoothly. The knob itself is usually not the cause of stiffness; the issue often lies with the lock mechanism or the spindle alignment.

Gold finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean the knob with a soft, damp cloth. For tarnishing, use a dedicated brass polish and a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Ensure the lock is engaged properly before polishing.

Knobs do not return to the original position

This typically indicates an issue with the mortice lock's spring mechanism. Check if the lock is sprung or unsprung, and ensure it is compatible with the unsprung nature of these knobs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from durable and long-lasting solid brass.
  • Unique knurled texture provides a secure grip and visual interest.
  • Elegant gold finish enhances interior aesthetics.
  • Contemporary design suitable for modern homes.
  • Supplied as a pair for convenient installation on double doors or pairs of single doors.

Cons

  • Requires a separate mortice lock mechanism for operation.
  • Supplied only as a pair, which may not suit single-door applications.
  • The brass material may require occasional polishing to maintain its luster.
  • Knurled texture might be less comfortable for users with very sensitive hands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These door knobs are designed to be fitted with a standard mortice lock mechanism. Ensure the mortice lock spindle passes through the centre of the knobs. The knobs then screw onto the spindle. The rose plates secure the knobs to the door.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a mortice lock with a suitable spindle.
  • Designed for use on internal doors.
  • The knob diameter is 55mm, and the rose diameter is 60mm. Ensure sufficient clearance on your door.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • For maintaining the shine on the brass, use a specific brass polish and a soft cloth. Follow the polish manufacturer's instructions carefully.
  • Periodically check that the knobs remain securely fastened to the spindle.
