How To
How to replace a doorknob
The best way to replace something is to make it both functional and beautiful. An attractive door handle can easily replace a plain doorknob.
The important thing is to ensure that what you choose looks identical to the original.
If you have other shiny finishes in the home, a shiny brass knob may be too loud. If you have nothing else in your room, get 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 might be a good option for kitchen remodels or if you want to add a countertop in another room.
You might want to keep it traditional by changing the knobs to match your handles.
