A very traditional Ball Knob on a School Board Backplate provides a timeless classic that suits a wide range of period properties.
Made from premium quality brass and handcrafted for us in the West Midlands, using both traditional methods and modern manufacturing processes. Available in a wide range of finishes - see images at bottom of page.
You can buy the most popular finishes through our website. If you would like to order one of the other finishes, please contact us.
For use with Mortice locks and latches and come Unsprung as standard.
So, we recommend using a Heavy Duty or Heavy Sprung lock or latch which is at least 100mm to give a backset of 75mm or more. This is to ensure that the door knob turns properly and returns to the closed position, and that you do not catch your knuckles on the door frame or striker plate.
Sold as a Pair and supplied with matching fixings. Always make a small pilot drill hole and use a manual screw driver to avoid damaging screws and finish.
