What is a centre door knob used for?

A centre door knob is a fixed, decorative knob fitted to the centre of a front door. It is used for pulling the door closed and for adding a statement feature to traditional and period-style entrances.

Are Frelan centre door knobs functional or decorative?

They are fixed decorative fittings that are also practical for pulling a door closed. They do not turn or replace a locking handle or latch mechanism.

Do I need to measure my door before ordering a centre door knob?

Do you deliver Frelan centre door knobs across the UK?

Yes. Trade Door Handles delivers UK-wide across England, Scotland and Wales, with delivery options depending on stock and product type.
