What is a Heritage Brass centre door knob?

It is a solid brass fixed pull mounted on the centre of a front door. It is used to push or pull the door and does not turn or operate a latch.

Which finishes are available?

Antique Brass, Polished Brass, Satin Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Matt Bronze and Matt Black.

Are Heritage Brass centre door knobs suitable for external doors?

Yes. As solid brass hardware they suit most front doors. Unlacquered Brass will patina naturally, and for very exposed coastal doors a marine-grade stainless finish offers better salt-air resistance.

How is a centre door knob fixed and can it be used with a lock?

It fixes with a through-bolt from the inside of the door. The knob is a pull only, so it is commonly fitted alongside a nightlatch, euro cylinder or multipoint lock that provides the security.

What is a centre door knob?

A centre door knob (also called a centre pull knob or front door centre knob) is a decorative fixed door pull mounted on the face of the door. It does not turn and it does not operate a latch. Unlike a mortice door knob there is no spindle; a single through-bolt gives a tidy, secure fitting that sits neatly alongside matching architectural ironmongery such as a door knocker and letter plate.
