Prime-Line E 2280 Solid Brass Vintage Door Knob Spindle Set, 2-1/4 In. Outside Diameter, Brass (Single Pack)

We live in a house built in 1941. Finally, something is older than I am. The mortise locksets have the same issue that all have from this period. The threads in the knobs strip out and the axles are damaged by the set screws in the handles. I finally had enough of this.I found these replacement handles & axles on Amazon. They have a bright brass finish and like the originals are brass plated. Unless you want to spend $30 dollars or more for Baldwin knobs these are a good alternative.Until these came (and other units) on the market you were left with several bad alternatives. 1. Try to find another old knob that still had threads 2. Buy replacement axles and hope that would solve the problem (temporarily) 3. Replace the mortise lockset with contemporary locksets.This product solved my problem nicely. The only complaint now is the faded brass plating on the face of the mortise lock. I decided I can live with that since no one really cares as long as the knob will open the door.It is really nice to have all the screws matching the new escutcheons and knobs. They are Phillips head screws with new edges. As I need to replace knobs and axles, I can purchase these. I priced out buying Baldwin units and the cost was going to be almost $2,000 for my house. Ouch! I found out how many doors the house has.I will be buying many more of these units. There is nothing wrong with the mortise locks. Now I will be looking for the escutcheons for the keyways. This is harder to find and install since the wood threads, being thin, are often stripped. I will probably try a small bead of silicone to glue them to the door.If you want to open doors without jiggling the knobs and you don't mind bright brass plating, then these are for you. I like them.

If you're looking at these you've got some old doors that need new knobs. We were in the same situation and these worked perfectly. Easy to install with just a screwdriver and they worked like a charm.

These work great. Easy to install and the finish doesn’t rub off. Maybe it’s just my foot, but the screws don’t stay so one side of the handle becomes loose frequently.

Good quality, worked as advertised, saved me from having to replace the whole lockset

It was cute and worked great for a few months but then the knob started stripping so it just didn’t work anymore. Replacing with a different kind.

These door knobs were perfect fit and gold looks nice!

This door knob was the perfect replacement for one that kept falling off of an old door. It is being used as a stationary non-turning door knob (only to pull open or closed a heavy solid wood door in an apartment from the 1890’s.) Though the knobs are lightweight in the package, once installed they feel robust and solid, look great, and hopefully will hold up under daily use For the price I could not be happier and would definitely buy again. Highly recommended!

I have a hundred year old home and kept replacing the vintage glass doorknobs with similar crystal looking knobs that would break out of the retaining bezel within a few years.Replacing the ALL with these now.Quick replacement /repair, work perfectly.

Boa qualidade, porém pequeno problema de ajuste por causa das medidas ...

It is just as described. Rather light and cheaply made it does the trick.
