Product Information

Full details

The Spira Brass Octagonal Mortice Door Knob in bronze is a premium hardware choice for homeowners and designers seeking to enhance Regency or Georgian-style interiors with authentic period detailing. This substantial, unsprung knob provides a luxurious tactile experience and a striking aesthetic for large doors, though users should note that because it is unsprung, a high-quality heavy-duty latch is required for optimal return performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this knob come with a latch?

No, this product includes the knobs, rose, and fixings; a heavy-duty mortice latch must be purchased separately.

Is this suitable for a bathroom door?

This is a standard door knob; if privacy is needed, you will need to pair it with a separate bathroom thumb turn and release.

Can this be used on an exterior door?

While it is durable enough for front doors, keep in mind that external exposure will accelerate the patina process of the bronze finish.

What is the protrusion distance of the knob?

The knob protrudes 78mm from the surface of the door.

How do I maintain the bronze finish?

Regularly dust with a soft cloth and occasionally apply a quality furniture wax to protect the metal from oxidation.

What is the diameter of the rose?

The rose diameter is 83mm.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose or does not return correctly

The knob is unsprung; ensure the mortice latch installed inside the door is a heavy-duty model with a strong internal spring.

Knob rubbing against the door rose

Check that the mounting screws are tightened evenly and the spindle is centered to prevent lopsided movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic period aesthetic for historical restorations
  • Large, substantial size provides a luxury feel
  • High-quality construction with durable bronze
  • Includes all essential mounting hardware

Cons

  • Requires a heavy-duty latch due to the unsprung design
  • Larger footprint may not suit narrow stiles
  • Bronze finish requires specific care to maintain luster

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is designed for standard mortice setups. Begin by measuring your door thickness to ensure the provided spindle and screws are appropriate. Since the knob has an 83mm rose, ensure your door stile has sufficient width to accommodate the mounting footprint without overhang. To care for the bronze finish, use only a soft, dry cloth for regular dusting. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the finish and accelerate uneven tarnishing. If the bronze develops spots, a light application of high-quality wax can help protect the surface and maintain its deep, uniform glow.
