Full details

This high-quality hardware offers a sophisticated aesthetic upgrade to standard doors through its signature reeded design and matte black finish, though users should note that it is an unsprung knob, which may require a robust latch mechanism for optimal operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this knob suitable for external doors?

This product is primarily designed for internal residential use.

What is the diameter of the rose?

The rose has a diameter of 60mm.

Does this set include a latch?

No, the set includes the knobs and fixings, but a mortice latch must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the black finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents.

Can these be used on hollow-core doors?

Yes, but ensure you have the correct fixings and that the door has enough structure to support the mounting screws.

What is the protrusion of the knob?

The knob protrudes 80mm from the door surface.

Troubleshooting

The door knob feels loose or wobbly after installation.

Check that the grub screw on the side of the knob is tightened securely against the spindle.

The knob does not return to a horizontal position.

The knob is unsprung; ensure your mortice latch has a strong internal spring to assist in returning the knob.

Difficulty turning the knob.

Ensure the spindle is not too long, as it may be binding against the inside of the opposite knob.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, timeless period design fits Regency and Georgian decor
  • Durable black finish resistant to wear
  • Standard sizing ensures broad compatibility with existing door types
  • Includes all essential hardware for immediate installation

Cons

  • Unsprung mechanism requires a sturdy tubular latch
  • Matte black finish may show dust or fingerprints more than metallic tones
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty commercial environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill and screwdriver. Since the set is unsprung, ensure that the mortice latch you purchase provides enough spring tension to support the weight of the knob.

Installation Steps:

  1. Measure and mark the center point on your door for the spindle hole.
  2. Install the mortice latch into the door edge.
  3. Secure the roses to the door surface using the provided fixings.
  4. Attach the knobs to the spindle, ensuring they are tightened securely.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the black finish, wipe regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive sponges, or polishes, as these can degrade the protective coating. A light application of a non-abrasive wax can help protect the surface from moisture.
