Glass Door Knob Set

Victorian Style Glass Door Knob Sets For the Home

During the Victorian era in the United States, ornate door knob sets were considered essential to any home because they offered added elegance to rooms and were a focal point in design. Most homes built during this period were in the Elizabethan, Eastlake or similar styles which had a lot of emphasis placed on the smaller details of design. Creating "carved" patterns was popular and showed up in interior and exterior architecture and decorating styles.

Glass door knob sets come in all shapes and sizes but the most popular design is still the fluted glass knob. This design is reminiscent of the glass used in most Victorian homes and has a timeless beauty that works well in both old and new homes. Glass knobs are also available in octagon, oval, pumpkin and round designs.

Perhaps the most unique element of design offered with a glass door knob set is the rosette plate. A rosette is a plate that is attached directly to the door and covers the bore hole. This plate can either be screwed directly into a wood door or some styles are "interconnecting" and screw into each other. NOTE: It is important to check if a particular plate requires a smaller or no bore hole for installation.

An ornate Victorian doorknob set traditionally features a glass knob with a decorative rosette plate. The designs vary but can feature abstract designs with curls, fleur de lis patterns, scrollwork or feature extremely geometric patterns (this would be reminiscent of the popular Eastlake style). Since homes built during this time were an eclectic mix of architectural styles there is no one true "Victorian" door knob style.

Choosing a new door knob set is a wonderful way to update the look of your home or restore an older home to its original beauty. Search for solid brass and glass or crystal construction and be sure to ask questions. LookInTheAttic & Company offers a wide variety of ornate door knob sets for the home and these are available in a variety of styles for different applications. Remember that small details matter and sometimes a small change can have the most dramatic effect on the appearance of a room.

Description

New Door Knob Conversion set--New in Box with Hardware Included. SOLID Crystal Door Knobs. Available in Cobalt ble, Green, Amber and Clear Glass. The Price is for one set. They are very heavy, including solid heavy brass fittings, and include all hardware necessary for mounting. The crystal part only measures 2 5/8" wide x 1 1/2" deep. The standard overall length of the entire unit is 7" and it is adjustable to fit thicker doors to 7 1/2". BACK-SET INSTRUCTIONS In the U.S. there are two common back-sets for residential door locks, 2-3/8" and 2-3/4". The lock-set is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8" bore hole. These knob sets do not have latch hardware for exactly this reason. The customers use their existing latch hardware when replacing their knobs and so back-set size is not an issue for them. If by chance they have older hardware of non standard size, their local hardware store can easily supply a standard size latch of the proper length. The inside plate with the holes are screwed in and come out. At first, the inside plates seem to keep on turning without coming off. You have to remove the plates, install the screws with the plates, then install the handle. Also the 5/16 rod (handle to handle) can be too long (3/8) and may need to be cut and re-ground.
