How to Buy Door Knobs

At first, finding the right door knob may appear challenging. However, only a few variables must be considered in your quest. You may choose appropriate door knobs for your rooms by focusing on location, function, and style. You can get door knobs to suit your needs, whether you're maintaining or decorating your doors.

Installing a new door knob may appear to be a simple task, but it requires exact measurements to be completed correctly. You'll also need to know the radius of the hole around the knob and its distance from the door frame, in addition to the thickness of the door. To ensure a correct fit, take all of these measurements before purchasing a new door knob. Here are the main points:

• Take a measurement of the borehole.

• Take a measurement of the backseat.

• Check the thickness of your door.
  
  

1. Take a measurement of the borehole.

To determine the proper knob size, you'll need to know the diameter of the borehole. Start at the bottom of the hole and pull the tape until you reach the top of the hole to measure across the circular hole at its widest point. That's your circumference. For reference, write down the number of inches you see on a little notepad.

2. Take a measurement of the backseat.

The backset is the distance between the borehole and the edge of the door. This is usually 2 3/8 or 2 34 inches in length. Place your measuring tape in the hole's centre and pull it outwards until you reach the door's edge. Make a note of this measurement on a piece of paper or a post-it note.

3. Check the thickness of your door.

Begin measuring at the door's left edge and work your way to the right. Take note of this figure. Interior doors are typically 1 3/8 inch thick (3.5 cm). The average thickness of an outside door is 1 3/4 inches (5 cm). Make sure the door you're installing the door knob on is of ordinary thickness; otherwise, additional hardware will be required.

It's simple to measure an old door or door opening for a replacement door. You can precisely measure a door if you know how to use a tape measure. The only problematic element is determining where to take the measurements: the door, the door frame, or the full opening. This will become evident once you have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of door construction and have determined how much you need to replace.
