Product Information
Full details
The Georgian Centre Door Knob is an ideal solution for homeowners aiming to enhance their front entry with authentic period aesthetics without sacrificing functionality. Crafted in a traditional Georgian style with distinct roped edging, this knob provides a secure grip for pulling doors closed, making it a perfect addition for heritage-style homes or properties seeking a classic architectural touch. While it offers versatile installation across various door materials, users should note that as a centre-mounted pull knob, it is non-operational and does not house a latch or locking mechanism, serving strictly as a decorative and functional handle.

FAQs
Does this knob lock the door?
No, this is a fixed pull knob and does not incorporate any locking or latching mechanism.
Can I install this on a hollow core door?
While possible, it is recommended to add a reinforcement plate on the interior side to prevent the door skin from crushing when tightening the bolt.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will typically need a drill with an appropriate sized drill bit, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape to ensure central placement.
Is this suitable for coastal areas?
The finish is durable, but in high-salt coastal environments, we recommend regular cleaning to prevent salt-induced surface degradation.
Can this be used as a replacement for an existing knob?
Yes, provided the existing hole in your door matches the fixing requirements of the 1179AB model.
Troubleshooting
Knob feels loose after installation
Check the interior fixing nut to ensure it is tightened sufficiently; if the door is thin, ensure you are using the correct bolt length.
Knob rotates when pulled
Ensure the anti-rotation pin or fixing screws are fully tightened to lock the rose assembly against the door face.
Finish showing water spots
Gently clean with a damp, soft cloth and buff dry immediately to prevent mineral buildup.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the rich brown finish, wipe the knob periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the protective coating. During winter months, a light application of a non-abrasive wax can help maintain the finish against moisture and salt.
