What is a centre door knob used for?

A centre door knob is a fixed, decorative knob typically fitted to the centre of a front door. It is commonly 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?

Frelan centre door knobs are designed as fixed decorative fittings, but they are also practical for pulling a door closed. They are not a replacement for a locking handle or latch mechanism.

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

Yes. Check the door thickness to ensure the fixing length is suitable and the knob can be securely mounted. If you are matching existing door furniture, confirm the finish and style as well.

Do you deliver Frelan centre door knobs across the UK?

Yes. Trade Door Handles supplies nationwide across the UK, including England, Scotland and Wales, with fast delivery options available depending on stock and product type.
