Door Handles & Knobs

Our range of door handles and door knobs has everything you need to perfectly accessorise any door style. Since these finishing touches can transform your space, we’ve ensured our selection has everything you could need to complete your doors, from internal door handles and door handle packs, to external door handles and knobs.

What is the difference between a door handle and a door knob?

You may be deciding between fitting door handles or door knobs for your internal doors, as each have their own unique features and benefits, both practical and aesthetic.

Door Handles

Door handles are incredibly easy to function, as the lever-style design is simply pushed down to release the latch. This makes them a great option for families with young children or elderly members, as they allow ease of access. These accessible door handles also make vacating the property in the event of an emergency quick and effective thanks to this feature.

Door handles also come in a variety of styles. For period properties, we’d recommend traditional lever on backplate door handles, as their curved and more intricate lines complement these design features best. They also pair nicely with Victorian style doors. If you’re looking for something more contemporary, opt for one of our chrome or black door handles for a sleek and minimal effect. For ease of installation, our door handle packs come with everything you need to fit your new door handle, including hinges and latches.

Since door handles have slightly more leeway when it comes to installation, if you have a door with glazing, a door handle may be better than a door knob as they can be installed closer to the door’s edge, and the space taken up by the glass won’t always allow for a door knob to be fitted. If you’re in need of completing your external door closure, door handles are best suited when they are especially designed for such use.

Door Knobs

If you’re looking to save as much space as possible, a door knob could be right for you. Door knobs protrude less than door handles, and are less likely to catch on things like clothing thanks to their shape. Door knobs typically have more of a classic design, so are nicely suited to more traditional interiors. In particular, the beehive style, found in some of our mortice door knobs, was very popular during the Georgian and Victorian era, so it’s no surprise it complements more classic and vintage homes today.

Some door knobs are also fitted with a locking mechanism, giving them an additional advantage when it comes to security. If you have any prized valuables you want to securely lock away, or require an efficient bathroom lock for privacy, you can rely on one of our door knobs.

If door knobs fit better with the style of your property, we have a range of colours and finishes available so the perfect match can be found for your door. From painted to black iron, chrome and brass, our range even includes glass door knobs, which add an air of sophistication to any home.

Just remember, when fitting a door knob, they need to be installed with a double sprung tubular latch, and placed slightly further away from the edge of the door than a handle would be. Door knobs are also better suited to panelled doors or doors without glazing, as they often won’t fit if the glass is too close to the edge of the door.

Whether you require an external door handle for added security or an interior door handle, we’ve got what you need. Give our helpful customer service team a call on 01752 422 501 for more information if you’re still unsure.
