Heritage Brass Suffolk Oval Mortice and Rim Knobs

Suffolk Oval Door Knobs for Mortice Latches and Rim Locks

Oval knobs are easier to turn than round knobs because the shape gives the hand more leverage, which makes the Heritage Brass Suffolk a practical as well as a stylish choice. The egg-shaped knob measures 76mm in projection on a 56mm rose and is offered as a mortice knob (V960) and as a rim knob (RIM-V960). It is a popular choice for cottages, barn conversions and Georgian or Victorian doors.

Mortice or rim version

V960 is the mortice knob for tubular latches and mortice locks; RIM-V960 is the rim knob for surface-mounted rim locks. Choose by the lock on your door, not the style - both look the same once fitted.

Why choose an oval knob

An oval knob is easier to grip and turn than a round one, which helps older users and anyone with reduced hand strength. Suffolk projects 76mm on a 56mm rose and is sprung on one side for use with a lightly sprung or standard 76mm tubular latch.
