Bakelite Hexagonal Door Knobs Black on Antique Rose

Here we have a pair of an unusual vintage-style real Black or Mottled (Walnut) Brown Bakelite Hexagonal Door Knobs. Supplied complete with round back-plates (roses) finished in either Antique Brass (unlacquered) for that real period look or Polished Nickel for a look that may well suit some contemporary surroundings as well as the period home. The back-plates are made from heavy solid brass and the Antique Brass finish plates are in an unlacquered; so, if required, they can be brightened with metal polish. Complete with 5/16" spindle so it should fit some old locks as well as new locks. You may have a 7.6mm spindle in your old lock, in which case the square hole in the lock can be filed out to 7.9mm with a sharp square file. Complete with the 5/16" spindle, grub screws for the spindle, packing washers and wood screws. These fabulous period knobs suit either mortice locks or rim locks. For rim lock use, simply discard one of the two back-plates. The back-plates are No 2501 and the knob is No 6130. Measurements: Overall diameter of Knob: 50mm. Diameter of Back-plate: 61mmAll our BROLITE real Bakelite pieces have been modelled on original designs from early to mid-20th century. The door knobs & handles are interchangeable on all the Brolite backplates, so you can order the parts individually if necessary.

You willl therefore need to ensure that the latch or lock used has sufficient spring capacity.
