What types of door knobs are there?

There is a wide variety of different door knob designs that can be chosen for either aesthetic or functional reasons. The types mainly differ in technical function, shape, and material.

Technical Function:

• Turn Knobs: This is the generic door knob, where a mechanism is activated when the knob is turned.
• Lever Handles: Here, the mechanism is triggered when the lever is pressed down.

Shape:

• Round/ Spherical: This is the classic shape of a door knob.
• Oval: A less common style, often used for interior and bedroom doors.
• Square: This more modern design is often found in minimalist interiors.

Material:

• Brass: Brass is durable, corrosion-resistant, and elegant. It is therefore a widely used material for door knobs.
• Stainless Steel: These knobs are robust, durable, and provide a modern look.
• Ceramic: Ceramic knobs can be extremely decorative and are available in a variety of colors and designs.

Choose the right door knob type based on your aesthetic taste, security requirements, and the existing door fittings.
