How To
How to replace the doorknob
A combination of functional and decorative design would make the best replacement. An attractive door handle could replace a basic doorknob.
It is important to make sure that the product you choose is identical to the original and easy to use.
If there are other shiny finishes around the house, a shiny brass knob might seem too extravagant. You can go ahead and buy it if there's nothing else in the space.
Another option is to choose a knob that matches existing hardware but does not match the rest of your home's style. This option is great if you are reworking kitchen cabinets or adding new countertops to another area of your home.
If you want to stick with a traditional look, consider changing your knobs with matching handles.
