Knobs

Give your doors timeless character with dependably functioning knobs, a hardware choice that's truly never out of style. At Woodwork Manufacturing & Supply, we offer premium options that effortlessly blend classic form with long-lasting durability.

What are Knobs?

Knobs are round door handles that typically rotate or turn to release a latch and open the door. Their simple mechanism makes them reliable, while the compact shape suits almost any décor-from vintage to modern minimalist. Crafted from robust materials such as brass, steel, or zinc alloy, they're built to withstand daily use while maintaining their finish and smooth performance.

They are also available in a range of finishes, from matte black to brushed nickel, polished chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze, that coordinate with other hardware in your home. Function options include passage for hallways, privacy for bedrooms and baths, and keyed entry for exterior use, providing flexibility for any project.

Where to Use Knobs

Interior Doors

Add unity and refinement to bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways with consistent hardware.

Exterior Entrances

Pair with a deadbolt for secure, traditional styling that complements your home's architecture.

Closets or Pantries

Use passage hardware on non-locking doors for easy, latch-only operation.

Decorative or Dummy Applications

Install fixed handles for French doors or cabinetry that does not require a latch.

Best Uses for Knobs:

Coordinating door hardware across multiple rooms

Adding subtle traditional style to contemporary spaces
Pair with matching finishes to create a cohesive design
Upgrading worn or outdated door handles
Combining aesthetic appeal with proven reliability
