Door Knobs: Choosing the Right Type for Each Room

Door knobs are the most common door lock in the home. They fit wood, UPVC and steel swing doors and install in a standard bore, so replacing one is a simple DIY job. Each type locks differently, and matching the knob to the room makes every door easier and safer to use.

Types of door knobs

• Bedroom & general room knobs: key outside, push-button lock inside, for bedrooms, offices and back doors
• Bathroom door knobs: keyless privacy lock with an emergency release outside
• Passage knobs: no lock, for closets, storerooms and doors between rooms
• Knob & deadbolt sets: two-point locking for front doors
• Screen door knobs: a low-profile knob that clears a screen door behind the main door
• Hotel knobs: lock automatically when the door closes, for guest rooms and dorms

Head styles suit different doors: ball heads are simple and the most popular, round heads give a firm grip, and pumpkin and star gooseberry heads add a classic look on wood doors.

Materials and fit

Stainless steel knobs resist moisture and rust, so they suit bathrooms and doors exposed to weather. Antique brass and antique copper finishes match wood doors and classic homes. Measure the door thickness and the distance from the door edge to the center of the existing hole before ordering, so the new knob fits without re-drilling.
