Understanding Your Options – Mortice Knobs vs Rim Knobs
Which Type of Door Knob Do You Need?
At Trade Door Handles, we stock and supply both Mortice Door Knobs and Rim Door Knobs—and it’s important to choose the right type for your door.
Mortice Knobs:
These are designed for fitting with a mortice latch or mortice lock, recessed into the door edge. Mortice knobs are perfect for internal wooden doors, giving a more traditional and authentic feel, especially in Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian properties. If fitting to an external door, simply pair them with a robust mortice sash lock.
Rim Knobs:
Ideal for doors with a surface-mounted rim lock, these knobs mount on the door face, making them suitable for older period homes where morticing the door isn’t possible. They’re often found on cottage doors, barn conversions, and heritage restorations.
