Can this be used to replace the builder-grade knobs on my relatively new home? Are these only for use on older doors?

Can you give me the dimensions of the lock face plates? Also, the mortise lock is 4" long x 1" wide? Thanks!

They can be used on the new doors, but you need to find a good door lock installer that can route out the door to make it fit

They are mortise locks (i.e. mortise cut in edge of door for lock mech.), will not work on stardard door preps, (i.e. one 2 1/8" hole thru door and one 1" hole in edge of door foor latch)

These locks are mortise type locks used for replacement of same type found in older homes. They are an entirely different mechanism type than modern hardware. The lock is recessed into the door itself and is approx. 4 in x 1 in. The door would have to be solid wood and be mortised out to accommodate this type of lock, which would require cutting out an interior section of the door to accept the lock.

yes. loosten the screws, and pull, or adjust the door, to your desire, and re tighten the screws. i had to do this also, just replacing the hinges will not guarentee proper alighnment of doors. the weight of the doors needs to be taken off, or alighned for proper level looks.

These can be used for both right and left handed doors. We have both in our house and it was no issue.

Yes this includes all the hardware to replace a mortis style doorknob and lockset. Depending on your old hardware, you may have to use a chisel and hammer to resize the cutouts in your door. That's what I had to do in my case. I've had this over a year and it still is a great replacement for old worn out doorknobs.

They work with the existing hardware. I have a 70 year old house and I replaced the old knobs with the glass ones without changing any of the existing hardware. And, I loved the price!

I am not a cabinet guy, just a general contractor who used these for my own house but I don't see how these could be used that way. You should contact the seller and see what he thinks.

I think that's what they are for... It works. I have another set that doesn't have the little knobs, and they just fall in.!

The two glass knobs attach to the square metal rod by small screws on the knobs. I would say no to them being used as a dummy knob since the knob themselves cannot be attached directly to the door. You could drill a smaller diameter hole than the metal rod, then insert it through the door and put the knobs on. You would still need some type of finish plate since there is none included with this knob.

I'm not sure of the style of doorknib you're referring to, but this is essentially a plastic cage that fits around the doorknib, and you turn the knob by fitting your fingers through the holes pictured. On modern doorknibs, there is a little bit of play, so if they're even a little bit larger than today's standard, they should still fit (and work). Of course, if they're too snug, then a child could turn the knob just by grabbing the cover...but I THINK the doorknobs you're talking about are smaller than today's standard, so I think you'll be just fine.

I never received them, so I got a refund. But they should be like any common door knob. Sorry I can't help you.

No. In fact I couldn't use it for my doors. I live in New Orleans and we have old heavy wood doors. Totally useless.

I don't think so - but they look nice. I actually replaced some real brass knobs with these.

Sorry, I sold the piece on which I used them, but cabinet screws are a standard size (these were standard) so you should be OK. If the screws are too wide, just drill a slightly larger hole. If they are too small, the knob itself will cover the hole on the front, use a washer on the back if needed (unlikely) and make sure the knobs are screwed down nice and snug. Length is more what you have to be concerned about because of the variability of the drawer/cabinet thickness. But that's a problem that can be easily solved by buying longer (or shorter) screws. Most knobs come with longer screws that "snap" off these days. Can't remember what came with these.

Sorry, I don't know for sure, but doubtful. Had to leave town to care for mother before my son stained and installed the doors, so haven't even yet seen them. I would contact the manufacturer if I were you.

I can't really help because the knobs I bought were interior knobs. I would not use them on an exterior door.

The knobs are not lockable. They are durable on our closet doors which does not need to be locked. Perhaps you could have a lock and use these knobs as pulls. I hope that was helpful.

While this could be used on practically any door, it would likely interfere with the weatherstripping on any entry door. You would be better served by a door knob cover/lever lock.
