How To
How to replace the doorknob
The most effective replacement would be something that was both functional and decorative. A door handle with a beautiful finish could easily replace an ordinary doorknob.
This is where the key is to make sure whatever you choose looks exactly like the original, and is easy to use.
If you already have shiny finishes, a shiny brass knob can be too big. If there's no other furniture in the room, you can have it!
It is possible to find a knob which matches the existing hardware but is not in keeping with the overall design of the home. 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.
