Are your door knobs sprung or unsprung?

All our mortice knobs are unsprung because they’re usually used alongside a latch and having a spring in both the door knob and the latch can make the mechanism stiff and hard to use.Because our knobs are unsprung, we recommend only using Heavy-Duty latches with them.

Can I fit a door knob to one side of a door without it turning (e.g., for a wardrobe or cupboard door)?

To fit a door knob to one side of a door, you’ll want to use a Threaded Taylor’s Spindle which prevents the knob turning and allows it to operate as a static pull. You can find these in the “Spares & Accessories” section of our website.

What size lock/latch do I need for my door knob?

The most important measurement when choosing a lock/latch is the ‘backset’, which determines the location of the centre of the door knob (the spindle) in relation to the edge of the door. For example, a 2.5” lock has a backset of 44mm, which means that the centre of the door knob will be 44mm from the edge of the door. When using a door knob, we recommend using a lock/latch that’s 3” or bigger to ensure the knob is an appropriate distance from the edge of the door and that you don’t catch your knuckles when opening it.
