Our iron door knob sets on this page are sand cast then hand finished and heat treated with a final application of beeswax for protection. These sets look centuries old when new and will only become more beautiful with time and use.
As with our other knob sets these are sold as a pair to suit a single door. We can supply either American specification tubular latches of 2 3/8" or 2 3/4" backset or the traditional English types with more backset options.
The 116REK knobs are mounted to, and free to rotate on, their roses. They are linked with a floating 8mm spindle that is cut to length to suit the door thickness (NOTE: the 117REK knobs are separate from their roses and are easier to install). This type of mounting results in a smooth, rattle free installation. Because the roses are screw mounted and scaled to suit the knobs, none of the sets will work directly on pre-drilled doors with a 2 1/8" cross-bore. The roses on some of these sets may at least cover but to use these on pre-drilled doors would require first plugging the cross-bore.
If a privacy function is required, we recommend a separate iron door bolt or hook and eye which can be found here and here.
