Doorknobs

Sometimes only the antique or vintage doorknobs are needed. You might be looking for a knob, or knobs, to match a missing item in your historic home or want to create your own set with a custom mix of door plates, key hole escutcheons and latches. Please note that not all doorknobs fit all door plates or rosettes (round door plates). Pay attention to the dimensions of both. I try to give measurements as close as possible but sometimes just a millimeter difference prohibits the knob from sitting in the plate properly. If you are ordering a set I will check them before completing the order. For those of you with pre-drilled modern doors there are also companies that provide everything but the antique doorknobs. I'm happy to let you know how to get in touch with them if you would send me an email asking for that information.
