Door Knobs

For homeowners getting ready to list, updated door knobs can instantly modernize your home and help it feel more in line with newer builds on the market. First impressions matter, and something as simple as a well-designed front doorknob or handle set can catch a buyer’s eye before they even step inside.

Not selling? The benefits are just as compelling. Swapping out outdated or worn hardware is a quick way to enhance your home’s overall look. The right knob ties your design together, adding a subtle but important finishing touch to every room.

Quality You Can Count On

When it comes to door hardware, quality matters. That’s why we carry trusted brands like Baldwin, Emtek, Schlage, Grandeur, and Nostalgic Warehouse. Each offers durable construction, reliable performance, and a wide range of design options.

From sleek modern styles to vintage-inspired designs, porcelain finishes, crystal knobs, and more, there’s something here for every aesthetic. You can also shop by finish, with options ranging from matte and satin to polished and distressed looks—making it easy to match your existing décor or create something entirely new.

Choosing the Right Doorknob

Understanding doorknob functions will help you choose the right hardware for each space:

• Passage Knobs: Non-locking, ideal for hallways and closets
• Privacy Knobs: Locking from the inside, perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms
• Entrance Knobs: Keyed for security, typically used on exterior doors
• Dummy Knobs: Non-functional, used for decorative or pull-only applications

Many knobs can also be keyed alike for convenience, as long as they’re from the same brand and use the same key cylinder.

Materials & Fit

Door knobs are commonly made from zinc die-cast, solid brass, or stainless steel. While higher-end materials often provide a more substantial feel and expanded design options, all of our brands are selected for long-term reliability.

You’ll also want to check your backset—the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. Standard sizes are typically 2 3/8" or 2 3/4", though some specialty doors may vary. Many entry-level options include adjustable backsets, while premium hardware may require you to specify the size when ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I replace a doorknob myself?
   Yes—most doorknobs are designed for straightforward installation with basic tools. Many modern sets include adjustable components and clear instructions, making them a great DIY project.
   
   
2. What’s the difference between a doorknob and a lever?
   Door knobs require a twisting motion to operate, while levers push down to open. Levers are often easier to use for children, seniors, or anyone with limited hand strength.
   
   
3. Do I need a deadbolt with my entry doorknob?
   For exterior doors, we strongly recommend pairing an entrance knob with a deadbolt. This adds an extra layer of security beyond the locking mechanism built into the knob.
