Door Knobs

Q: Is it easy to replace door knobs?

Yes, you can. As long as you’ve measured your door and door knob cavity, and purchased the correct size knob, replacing it should be relatively straightforward. You’ll need several important tools including screwdrivers to help take off the old door knob and screw on the new one, and a tape measure.

Q: How long do door knobs last?

If you purchase a high-quality door knob, it should generally last you around 7-10 years without much maintenance required. This will also depend on how much the door knob is turned or touched. For example, door knobs for your bedroom will probably need replacing sooner than door knobs for your storage room.

Q: What do you call a door knob that doesn’t turn?

The most common name for a non-turning door knob is a dummy door knob or a fake door knob. They are generally used on cupboard doors that open out, like wardrobes, linen closets, pantries and utility cupboards. You can match them to the style of passage and locking door knobs.

Door knobs are used to open and close a door easily, most commonly used for doors between rooms, as well as cupboard doors like pantries and linen closets. Whether you need turning knobs or static, we have a range of styles and finishes to suit, including options like metal, brass, gold, and black, among others. ArchiPro features only the best door knobs from trusted suppliers in New Zealand.

Our door knobs are only sourced from high quality suppliers across New Zealand so you can browse with confidence.

They are an important part of an extensive range of window & door hardware available on ArchiPro.

Types of door knobs

Brass door knob

Doors knobs with a brass finish are a timeless classic and very popular in New Zealand. They are great to match with other decorative touches like door hooks.

Door knob on backplate

These can be a dummy knob or latching door type. The backplate style makes a statement and elevates any door, and can include a lock.

Dummy knob

A dummy knob is a door knob that has no moving parts, simply used as something to grasp while opening or closing a door.

Traditional door knob

Whatever the era of your design, we have a variety of styles including the traditional farmhouse, English classic and Art Deco. Most options have a matching pull bar set.

The advantages of high-quality door knobs

Door knobs are used multiple times a day, and are crucial for moving through rooms and the house. When you invest in a high-quality door knob, you ensure it will stand the test of time — without falling out or breaking — despite so many hands touching it every day. High quality door knobs are available in a range of beautiful finishes, whether that’s the lustre of metal or vibrancy from coloured applications. High quality options also require less maintenance, are easier to clean, and are less prone to rust and corrosion from sweat or other factors.

How to choose a door knob that’s right for you

Door knobs are a noticeable feature throughout every room and are an integral part of the home. They flow from one room to another, so it pays to make the design aesthetic flow too. For a cohesive look, match the finish of all door knobs to your existing window and door hardware including the likes of latches and door bolts. Alternatively, contrasting designs can help door knobs pop for all the right reasons. For example, nouveau designs are great for an art deco look, while travertine finish on door knobs are a luxurious choice. Next, think about the size and weight of the door, as you may want a larger knob for extra grip if your door is sturdier. Some materials are also more rust-resistant and durable than others, including aluminium and zinc.

Does any door knob fit any door?

Door knobs come in a variety of materials and styles, including stainless steel, wood, copper, or aluminium alloy. However, not all door knobs can fit any door. You’ll need to take into account the hole diameter and the door thickness. In New Zealand, the hole is typically larger than European style door holes (54mm vs 18mm wide).
