All About door Knobs

Door hardware like door knobs and door pulls are essential features of interior and entry doors. While their functionality matters, their decorative aspect carries sufficient if not equal weight. Buyers can take their pick from an almost endless array of classic, traditional, modern, rustic, and creative designs, or order personalized door knobs and door pulls that are one of a kind. There are door knobs for every type of decor, and they are available in glass, crystal, porcelain, plastic, and metal materials, with a wide range of finishes.

To select the right type of door hardware, it is essential to consider to the type of door. Sliding doors, for instance, generally have more unobtrusive door hardware than swing doors, while, given that many people prefer their front doors to make a definite statement, an entry door is more likely to have ostentatious door hardware than an interior door. Home security is also a concern with an entry door, and door knobs for front doors will have key and lock features. Some entry door lock features include electronic locks that require password input, and which may or may not have a key override.

Aside from an entry door, door knobs are installed in French doors, patio doors, cupboard doors, store room doors, office doors, hallway doors, bedroom doors, and bathroom doors. The door knobs used depend on the purpose of the doors. For doors that only need to be pulled or pushed open and have no locking requirements, a simple dummy door knob is sufficient. The dummy door knob may be fixed on one side of the door or on both sides, and can be pulled or pushed from either side. Latchable door knobs that need to be turned to open the door are useful for cupboard, store room, and passage doors, while door knobs that can be twisted to lock from one side are ideal for privacy in bedrooms and bathrooms.
