Description

A pair of Victorian style door knobs with a "PLAIN" design in solid brass.

High quality, hand turned, solid brass door knobs/handles made to an original Victorian design.

These Victorian plain door knobs/handles have been faithfully reproduced from an original door knob we were fortunate to salvage and are therefore a design exclusive to us, despite there being many copies on the market.

This style was very popular from the Victorian period (c. 1837 - 1901) right up to today and because the door knobs come with separate rose plates they can be used on either tubular, mortise or rim locks.

The door knobs are unsprung and rely on the spring in the door lock for their back and forth movement.

These door knobs have that genuine period look and would really enhance and make a feature of any door

Key Points
  • High quality design taken from an original door knob salvaged by us.
  • Solid brass handles hand turned and aged.
  • Each set comes complete in its own box with door knobs, steel spindle, all fixing screws, hex head steel grub screw and individual Allen key for fitting grub screws.
  • Brass is not lacquered so will mellow further and develop a wonderful patina.
  • All fixing screws are hand aged to match.
  • The threaded steel spindle is grooved and threaded either end for fine adjustments. This is known as "The Pitts Mortice System".
  • Spindle also comes with a removable collar if existing lock housing is slightly smaller.
  • All grub screws now made from steel for durability.
  • Suitable for indoor use only.

Fitting Guide

Required Tools:

  • Screwdriver for wood screws
  • Allen key (included) for grubs screws
  • Pencil
(Always ensure you use the correct size screwdrivers)
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN GRUB OR WOOD SCREWS OR USE POWER TOOLS AS THIS MAY RESULT IN FITTING SCREWS BEING DAMAGED.

Check assembly and that all parts are present before starting.
You should have x2 door knobs, x2 rose/back plates, x1 universal spindle with slide off packer, allen key for grub screw and fitting screws for rose plates.

  1. Insert spindle through door latch mechanism, ensuring that equal amounts of the thread project to each side of the door. Place x1 rose / back plate over spindle on one side and then screw on door knob.

  2. Carefully tighten grub screw ensuring that the grub screw is located into one of the key way recess's of the spindle and not onto the threaded part of the spindle. Failure to do so will result in the door knob working loose and unscrewing.
    Tighten grub screw carefully, but do not over tighten – ‘nip it up’ using the Allen key.

  3. At this point you must ensure the spindle is level / horizontal. Failure to do so may mean that the door knob assembly will stick during service and may fail or cause the door knob to break.

  4. Secure the rose / back plate by making the pilot holes and then screwing in the wood screws. Again, do not over tighten wood screws.

  5. Insert 2nd rose / back plate over spindle on other side of door and repeat points as above.

  6. Remember that there should be a little play in the door knobs to ensure that they can be turned within the rose plates. Do not over tighten as the mechanism will not operate.

  7. Please ensure that all stained door knobs receive a wipe with a lint free dry cloth to remove any residue left after production.

This was a replacement for a kitchen door - despite the Covid restrictions they were delivered rapidly and were exactly what I was looking for. Good quality and size. They look great. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending (and ordering again from) Vintage Door Knob Centre - many thanks!

Nice doorknob but too small for our doors

The quality of the doorknobs was good but they looked too small on our doors, so they have been exchanged for the nickel-plated beehive knobs in the larger size.

Re instating Victorian village hall

Over the years our village hall was 'improved ' by the addition of chrome and aluminium door handles. i am now in the process of reinstating the brass fittings, some of which i found hidden away. i needed more, and finding originals too costly, found this site and purchased their brass door knobs. The quality of these knobs, surpasses the original fittings by a long way. They are made of heavy solid brass, and are very easy to fit, to variable thicknesses of door by a simple adjustment system. They are really 1st class, and will still be there in another hundred years. They are unvarnished which is preferred by me , as our cleaner is addicted to brass polishing.

 Review by:

The service and delivery time were excellent especially as they were sent abroad. The doorknobs are an excellent quality and easy to fit.

Brass door knobs

We found these doorknobs on line and were really taken with the detail and quality, plus the fact they are not lacquered so will dull down with use. They are easy to fit and look perfect on our newly stripped and waxed Victorian pine doors. The service and delivery time were excellent too.

 Review by:

Victorian Door Knobs - Brass Plain (pair).

Purchased these Victorian style door knobs as attachments to our new 1930 flat panel shaped bead doors and to match those inherited when the house was purchased in 2000. The door knobs are attractive, stylish, well made, easy to fit and enhance the attractive doors.

 Review by:
