How To
How to replace your doorknob
Functionality and ornamentation are the most effective ways to replace a doorknob. An attractive door handle could replace a basic doorknob.
You need to ensure that your choice looks the same as the original and is simple to use.
If you already have shiny finishes, a shiny brass knob can be too big. If you don't have anything else, consider it!
A more subtle option would be to find a knob that matches the existing hardware but doesn't match the overall style of the rest of the home. This is a great option if you are renovating your kitchen cabinets or installing a new countertop in another area of the house.
You might want to keep it traditional by changing the knobs to match your handles.
