A pair of Victorian style door knobs with black wooden "beehive" design, brass collars and brass rose plates.

High quality, hand turned, wooden door knobs/handles from a sustainable source made to an original Victorian beehive design.

These Victorian beehive 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.
  • Hand turned solid wood stained handles.
  • Each set comes individually wrapped 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.
Dimensions:  Please see specification section below
Specification for Victorian style wooden beehive brass door knob *
Metric Imperial
Door knob projection 85mm 3.34"
Door knob diameter 58mm 2.28"
Rose plate diameter 58mm 2.28"
Spindle length 125mm 4.92"
Spindle diameter 7.3mm 0.29"
Max door thickness 65mm 2.56"
* As these door knobs are handmade and finished, the above specification should act as a guide only.

Required Tools:

  • Screwdriver for wood screws
  • Allen key (included) for grub 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 recesses 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.

  8. Please clean using a lint free cloth and if essential, mild soapy water and damp cloth. DO NOT use any caustic/aggressive cleaning products as these may affect the appearance of your door knobs.

 Review by:

lovely product -

The handles are perfect for our victorian farm house. They are a welcome replacement for handles which were really quite broken. We have found them to be really stiff which means we are building up strong turning muscles but we think that is because we need new spindles as well.


 Review by:

Beautiful door knobs

These look perfect on the lounge door after I’d cleaned and waxed it. They replaced some old 1980’s door furniture 🤗

 Review by:

Majestic

I bought this large version for the inner front door. I've never got excited about a door knob before, but this is wonderful and brings a smile to my face whenever I use it! It looks magnificent, feels unshakeably solid, works perfectly. This is a serious bit of furniture and the instructions (supplied in an email) are thoroughly helpful.


 Review by:

Nice Quality door knobs with everything supplied to fit them. They are quite large so just be sure to place them far enough away from the edge of the dooor.


 Review by:

Lovely, unique product.

 Review by:

Excellent quality - fast service

I purchased a number of these Victorian style ebonised door knobs having moved in to an former vicarage in Wales where many of the doors still had the original door furniture. These products were not only a near perfect match with the originals, but they matched on quality too. As such we’ve been able to replace all of the more recent plastic additions and have the doors back to their original aesthetic. The service was also excellent - quick turnaround and securely packaged

Elegant high quality door knobs

We used these throughout our Victorian home as part of a refurbishment. We have lovely original paneled doors and wanted door knobs that would do them justice, we are more than happy with the look and function of these. They were a little stiff, as not self-sprung, so took some patience to get them all working properly with the existing mechanisms. Would recommend.


 Review by:

Perfect door knobs for my 1900 house

Beautiful knobs. Smooth ordering and delivery. They were out of stock when I initially saw them but left my email and received notification when they were back in stock which was great. One issue I had was instructions were a bit limited for a novice DIYer like me. Had to watch some YouTube videos just to work out how to separate them (now know all about grub screws). Bit more detailed info would have been helpful however once I’d worked that out really easy to fit.


 Review by:

Great product and service

2nd time I've got products from these folks and as pleased second time round as the first. Shame the screws were black and not brass but gather issues with supplier.


 Review by:

 Review by:

Ebonised Beehive Door Knobs

We ordered one set. So impressed with the quality and appearance, which fitted our Edwardian house to a T, that we ordered knobs for all our doors.


 Review by:

Ebonised Victorian Door Knobs

I purchased 2 pairs of these in combination with 3 pairs of the brass beehive ones. Carelessly I hadn't realised that they are actually a different size to each other. As a result, I am going to move them around having fitted the larger beehive ones on bedroom doors and the brass ones on other doors.

A bit of a faff to fit but it is worth it. The guidance suggests drilling guide holes into the door for the screws and this I would say is essential; I struggled to do it without doing so (I don't have a drill) and the supplied screws are not very strong and are easily damaged / decapitated if not...... .

All of that said, they certainly achieved the desired effect; a simple (easy!) change to make which nonetheless makes a huge difference to the 'feel' of a home.

Ebony bee hive door knobs

We are very pleased with these door knobs. They were delivered promptly and are just as described. They replace a mismatch of door knobs. We have enough original ebony handles for downstairs and have put the bee hives upstairs. The new ones are in keeping with the era of the house. The knobs and roses themselves are well made and have a good weight to them. It is really satisfying to restore some of the character of the house in a small way without breaking the bank. I love them.


 Review by:

Fitted very easlily

Was amazed the spindle fitted through my Victorian door mechanism as others on the market were too wide.
Looks and feels great!


 Review by:

As described

Looks way more expensive. Will be ordering more. Fast delivery.


 Review by:

fast delivery, good quality. only issue was a sheared screw due to tight fit into the door - higher tensile material would help along with slightly deeper screwdriver slot. A minor issue


 Review by:

Excellent all round, both service and product. Definitely recommend - really pleased with how the door knobs look, and the price paid was great value

We were looking for antique style door nobs and these were the most appropriate. Quick delivery and seemingly good quality, but time will be the test of that! Will order more as other doors are replaced. Good service no complaints.

Superb repro. door knobs. Excellent quality and at a good price too!


 Review by:

These are the most beautiful handles and they look fab on my Victorian doors. They arrived a day after order and I couldn't be happier. I will certainly be buying from this company again.


 Review by:

Refurbishment of victorian property

I love these door knobs- they look very smart and look like they cost more than they did. They seem good quality with clean lines. I bought the cupboard knobs in this style too which I would recommend- if you have thick cupboard doors so need a fixing longer than the 4M 4cm, then I'd recommend the 4M snap off screws as that's all I could find in the 4M longer than 4cm after visiting screw fix etc. Anyway, I like this company and providing they keep their prices low I'd certainly use again.

Fab service

Amazing, next day delivery despite ordering after lunch time! Very handy when the carpenter said he would be here the next day to hang door and furniture. Very happy with handles for the price, they look great on our Victorian doors.


 Review by:

Very nice product and very competitive price. The only slight negative point is the quality of the screws. I'd substitute some appropriate brass screws.


 Review by:

Very competitive prices and was extremely please with the speed and efficiency of delivery. Delivered next day with no fuss. The product itself was good quality and in fact better than I expected. Will definitely use vintage door knobs again.

Victorian Door Knobs - Ebonised Beehive - Brass (p

Excellent quality and a great price. I've recommended them to friends who've bought them and been equally pleased


 Review by:

Excellent product could hardly notice the difference from my 105 year old ones


 Review by:

Good quality product

Beautiful and a high quality knobs but the screw are unusable. I had to buy new ones in order to complete the job.


 Review by:

Ebonite door knobs

Really good quality. Whilst these are advertised to be used for rim locks as well they are not technically correct. Once you remove the rose plate you are left with an exposed grub screw. Originals would have had a fixed knob without a grub so that it fixed flush to the rim lock. Maybe I am being harsh to criticise at this price but if they could replicate that then they would be perfect! For a mortise lock they are the best value and quality that I have seen on the Internet and would buy again.


 Review by:

Excellent quality and price. Really pleased with my purchase.

Great product and even better price!These exceptional quality door knobs are just the icing on the cake for my victorian pine doors. Will use Coventry Demolition again. Thank you!


 Review by:

Excellent Quality

I have a Victorian house and decided to replace the ceramic door knobs on all 12 doors as they were in a poor state and ill fitting. I had a problem that many of the door handles had a rim lock on one side. I decided to purchase the large beehive knobs and behive keyhole covers from the Coventry Demolition Company - I ordered on Friday and they were delivered on Monday. Excellent quality and nicely wrapped. I had to use reduced length screws than those delivered due to the size of my doors but this was not a problem. The knobs fitted easily to the rim lock side and I just needed to discard the back plate. I also ordered the matching beehive keyhole covers and they look super. In summary I am very pleased and would recommend the supplier, the beehive knobs and beehive keyhole covers.


 Review by:

Really lovely

Gorgeous, good quality and arrived quickly

I've been a carpenter and joiner for 34 years, and these knobs look right, feel good and where easy to fit. All that's left is the test of time.

Great product & great service to match

I purchased 8 sets of door knobs, they are great to use & feel good to the touch. I'm very pleased with them. Ordered matching escutcheons which were also great quality.

Good sturdy door knob, authentic feel and well made


 Review by:

Fantastic quality

I have spent quite a bit of time looking for beehive door knobs. At first I was dubious because the price was so low. I read the reviews and placed an order. I couldn't be happier. My joiner was very impressed. Companies like these are a rarity. I'm sure some people would pay 4 times this price just so they can say they bought them from a 'trendy' store. That's not for me. Quality door knobs at the right price and made in England is what I want.


 Review by:

Excellent!

Great service, excellent product, quick delivery and available to order even on a Sunday so comes highly recommended.

Excellent Product

Very good quality for the money - these are very well made. The service provided is very good. Delivery very quick


 Review by:

Lovely quality, just what I was looking for as we renovate our Victorian terrace. Lovely weight and finish. Screws supplied with the knobs aren't great and item arrived with quite a strange smell - perhaps either from being stored or perhaps the finish to the wood but has disappeared now they are in use! Many thanks.


 Review by:

Good find

The perfect doorknobs for a late nineteenth century house. They match some of the originals. Couple that with a good price and a quick delivery and you couldn't ask for more. I've bought three pairs in two designs.


 Review by:

Great value

Ordered 5 number of these sets. Lovely handles and excellent value. The screws are a bit flimsy so had to replace these and the ebony stain does come off in your hand for the first while of usung, but excellent product for cost.

The Victorian doorknobs

My husband was extremely pleased with the doorknobs as they are for his GWR engine house which houses his model train layout


 Review by:

Excellent Product

Just what we were looking for. Beautiful handles, beautifully made and at an excellent price. If there is one (tiny) complaint, the screws supplied to fit the handle to the door are of relatively poor quality and can sheer easily, but still 5 star.


 Review by:

Good solid door knobs and for a very fair price. Look really good in our Victorian house that we are doing up.

very prompt delivery and exceptional quality will certainly use this company again.


 Review by:

great quality for the price

I ordered these having spent £30+ on other pairs of door knobs for my house. Given the low price, I was expecting them to look a bit cheap and for the brass to need a bit of assistance to look aged. I was delighted when they arrived (very quickly!) and were just as good as the more expensive knobs. I highly recommend them.


 Review by:

Just as described great product and a first class service. Compared with a major high st DIY shop who took 3 attempts to get it right resulting in waiting in for over 24 hrs in total these guys get it right first time so well done I will certainly use you again.


 Review by:

Excellent

Absolutely fantastic product, well made and looks great. Also easy to fit. I will be ordering more as I think all the doors in my house deserve these knobs


 Review by:

Very pleased

Excellent service received within two days of placing order well packed and when opened better than expected in a1 condition (ordered a radiator from a very large DIY store at the same time despite promises for Friday delivery after waiting in all day it never arrived) point for me is use these specialist dealers more as they do do what it says on the tin.

Victorian Beehive Door Knobs

These door knobs are lovely - feel heavy and solid, and good quality. I have fitted them onto my Victorian pitch pine doors and they look great! It would also be useful if the company ever does a patterened baseplate.

I agree with the previous comment (from Lily, below) who suggested a guide to 'how to fit a door knob' would be useful - it appears very straight forward, but it can be fiddly, and silly wee things can make the process more difficult than need be.

One final comment, my door knobs were left propped up on the front door by the delivery company and I found them there when I returned from work. Thankfully, no-one had walked off with them, but this might not have been the case. I'd have preferred if the parcel had been put somewhere more discrete and a card put through my door to let me know.


 Review by:

Beehive Door Knobs - Style 5

We are thrilled with our Beehive Door Knobs they are exactly as described, and delivery was only two days after ordering! Fantastic service, prompt and efficient. We highly recommend Coventry Demonlition and will be using them again.


 Review by:

Product and Customer Service Superb

I cannot recommend too highly. I am really delighted with my door knobs - very high quality at a bargain price; it took me a while, though, to work out that the allen key supplied is used to release the knob from the spindle and subsequently for fine adjustment when fitting. There were some complications around delivery initially but the company could not have been more helpful in communicating with me, resolving the difficulty and ensuring I received my order as quickly as possible.......thank you.


 Review by:

Lovely product

Lovely product, good finish and brass rim dulling down nicely (hard to find brass finishes which aren't too "bling"). It is useful to note that these door handles are unsprung. Not a big deal but I changed them out for ones which were sprung and we are all getting used to these ones.
I have only given 4 stars as it would have been useful to have at least a brief instruction leaflet on best practice for installing these. I am "handy" but not a DIY expert in all areas.


 Review by:

Brilliant quality product, they were a little larger than the originals so I changed all of the old ones for these.
Really pleased with the result, highly recommended.


 Review by:

The door handles look great! Can't wait to fit them to our Victorian style doors.

Really pleased

Bought 3 pairs of these for our downstairs doors - prompt service and really pleased with the door knobs; they look great on our doors!

Much cheaper (40%) than others I saw on the web and will certainly be using when we get round to decorating the rest of our house.

Received door knobs this morning only bought for downstairs doors but when we saw the quality decided to put on all the doors! excellent price and excellent service many thanks


 Review by:

delighted - Plymouth

I have just taken delivery of four sets - I'm more than pleased, just had to fit two sets straight away! They feel good, look absolutely authentic... knocks anything that I have seen in large chain hardware shops into total dismissal! I'm now thinking what else should I order... maybe I should have ordered those keyhole covers to match....
