How To
How to replace a doorknob
A combination of functional and decorative design would make the best replacement. A door handle with a beautiful finish could easily replace an ordinary doorknob.
The important thing is to ensure that what you choose looks identical to the original.
If other shiny finishes are in place, a shiny brass knob could be too expensive. If you don't have anything else, consider it!
Another option is to choose a knob that matches existing hardware but does not match the rest of your home's style. This might be a good choice for those who are redesigning their kitchen cabinets or creating new countertops in other areas of the home.
If you prefer a more traditional look, change your knobs and replace them with matching handles.
