Satin Stainless Steel Mortice Knobs and Rim Knobs

Contemporary Style, Practical Strength

Satin stainless steel door knobs offer a neutral, modern look that resists fingerprints and matches effortlessly with other brushed finishes. The surface gives off a low-reflection sheen, making it perfect for high-traffic areas, minimalist interiors, and projects where durability matters just as much as style.

Mortice vs Rim Knobs: Which Do You Need?

Mortice knobs are designed to operate with locks or latches that are fitted inside the edge of the door. These are installed with a spindle that connects both knobs through the latch — ideal for flush, modern door setups.

Rim knobs are paired with rim locks, which are mounted on the surface of the door. One knob attaches directly to the lock case, while the other mounts on a rose plate. These are often used in older buildings or for doors where a mortice lock isn’t suitable.

Not All Stainless Steel is Equal: Why 316 Marine Grade Matters

Part of our stainless steel collection is made from Marine Grade 316 stainless steel — an ultra-durable alloy specifically engineered for high-moisture or coastal environments. It contains molybdenum, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 stainless steel. This makes it ideal for:

• Properties near the sea or exposed to salt air
• Bathrooms, wetrooms, or humid environments
• Commercial or public buildings where long-term wear resistance is critical

If you need hardware that combines style with serious staying power, our 316-grade stainless steel knobs are a smart investment. Look out for product details to see which items in this range include this enhanced material.

Whether you're after simple modern design or heavy-duty functionality, satin stainless steel is a finish that does it all. Complete your project with matching tubular mortice latches or rim lock sets.
