KNOBWELL 1 Pack Matte Black Privacy Door Knob Bedroom Door Knob with Lock Oval Style Interior Door Knob

Lets start off by saying these are not expensive door knobs but that being said they have held up to my seven year old son. These were very easy to install. The flat black looks well in my home, they do offer other finishes if your don't like black. The lock is good but it is to easy to open from the outside. The function of these are smooth. I would buy again. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I replaced almost all of the 90s knobs in my house with these and they look so much better. A few of the knobs stick after I turn them but I’m not sure if it’s the knobs’ fault or the door/door jam. It’s not a big deal and I can just manually turn the knob back to “neutral”, but Mo it’s why there’s 4 stars instead of 5. The screws also show instead of being hidden behind the plate, but again, not a big deal. Read more

The feel of the knob is why I chose these door knobs. Very ergonomic with a flair! One very cool feature that comes with each knob is the plastic insert for the latch in the jamb. It makes for a very clean appearance and assures proper placement of the mechanism. Read more

I like the look of the oval door knobs. What I disliked is that the strike plate did not fit flush into the groove so, therefore I had to use the old strike plate for the deadlock would not fit or fasten when locked. It would not lock properly when I used the Probico strike plate. I didn't want to return it because I really like the look of the Probico oval shape doorknob. The strike plate is not visible unless the door is open so, I figured I could live with it. It looks good and functions properly. Read more

I am ready to buy more. Cute, sturdy, easy to install, reasonably priced. My doors also had GOLD deadbolt locks above these locks I replaced. I had no keys and no need for these small gold deadbolts. I took them off and used black spray paint, to match my new blackish privacy interior door locks. Read more

I couldn't even take a guess at the number of privacy, passage, lever, entry, dead bolt, etc., etc,. knobs and locks I have installed over the past 50 years, hundreds I'm sure. Door hardware, like most products, come in different grades. You'll find when looking at nicely made door hardware, whether it's interior like these, entry, or exterior, quality made door knobs and locks from well known companies will almost always have the grade listed in the specs. I'm talking about the ANSI/BHMA grading system, for locks manufactured here in the U.S., as well as Canada. The three grades are ANSI Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3. Grade 1 is primarily for commercial locks, while Grade 2 & 3 will normally be listed for residential uses. A Grade 3 lock is normally a basic residential security lock, one that meets the lowest acceptable quality standards for locks by the ANSI. You'll find these in big box stores. A Grade 2 door knob or hardware is reserved for those pieces of residential hardware that meet a higher standard, can cost well over $100 or more for a single door knob, and are made from high quality materials. Any time you don't know anything at all about a door knob, and want to know if it's a good quality knob, or junk, pick it up. If it feels heavier then most, it's normally a sign of better made, using higher quality materials, door hardware. Better grade knobs will have the ANSI rating listed in the specs. A lower grade door hardware will most likely never have the ANSI rating on the box. Who wants to advertise they manufacture a product at the lower end of the quality scale? These knobs have no ANSI rating listed (that I could find), but definitely fall in to that builders grade door knobs. There is nothing wrong with it, it'll do the job it's intended to do, but with normal to heavy use will fail eventually, and you'll be calling moi to come repair it. These knobs sell for $68.24 (as of this review, Five Pack, Privacy Locks), and a competitive price for a door knob like this. This door knob is a privacy design knob for bath and bedrooms, for interior use, and is a little hinkie (how about that word, hinkie) when working. Better grade locks usually have a fluid feel when turning knob, and will lock easily. This model has some issues when trying to engage the lock , sometimes it sticks, not much, but still sticks. All in all it does work, but won't keep Jack out (from The Shining) if he's determined to get in. Thankfully, I don't know of anyone personally who's had that problem, so you should be good with these if you are looking for a basic privacy lock, with a nice look. Extremely easy to replace existing door know. Comes with a template for new door slab installs. Read more

I thought these doorknobs were circular but they’re actually a bit oblong which isn’t very aesthetically pleasing in regards to my home style. I do like the darker color and they’re definitely better than the mismatched, squeaky knobs these are replacing. The angle of the pic in the description is misleading...otherwise I wouldn't have chosen these...they work and do what they say they do...but they just don't look quite right... Read more
