Buy door knob sets. Fixed/rotating models and configurations
Do you want to equip your interior doors or front door with a round knob instead of a classic handle, and are you looking for a package where everything is already coordinated? Then a door knob set is exactly what you need. Such a set contains two knobs, the rosettes, and the mounting hardware all together in the same finish, so you don't have to puzzle over individual parts yourself. A knob gives your door a softer, often somewhat more classic or design-oriented look than a straight handle.
On this page, we explain what is included in a door knob set and the available configurations. You can read about the brands and models we carry, the finishes you can choose, and how to measure the set. We also explain how to put together a complete, cohesive package. This way, you can choose the right set for your doors with confidence. Read on!
What exactly is a doorknob set?
A door knob set is a complete door hardware package featuring a round knob on both sides of the door instead of a handle. The set includes the two knobs, the matching rosettes, and the mounting hardware, all in the same finish and style. As a result, everything matches seamlessly in terms of color and shape, eliminating the need to combine separate parts. A knob looks rounder and more aesthetically pleasing than a straight handle, and complements both classic and design-oriented doors beautifully. It is the simplest way to complete a door in one go.
At Deurbeslag Expert, you will find door knob sets from brands such as Aprile, Intersteel, and STERK, in all common finishes. The sets are available in various configurations, ensuring there is always a suitable version for an interior door, a front door, or a cupboard door. If you would like to take a broader look at all individual knobs, view our collection of door knobs. This way, you can immediately see which version suits your door. For the separate fixed front door knob, also take a look at the door knob on a rosette.
Which configuration fits which door?
Which configuration suits your door depends on how the door needs to operate. A fixed/fixed set has a non-rotating knob on both sides and is intended for a cupboard door, a walk-in closet, or a dressing room door without mechanical locking. A fixed/rotating set, also known as a knob handle, has a fixed knob on the outside and rotating operation on the inside; this is ideal for a front door or for a privacy door such as the bathroom or bedroom. A rotating/rotating set rotates on both sides and suits a regular interior door where you like a round knob. This way, you choose the right operation for each door. A classic fixed version can be found as a doorknob on an escutcheon.
For your front door, the fixed/rotating version is the logical choice, as the fixed exterior knob prevents someone from simply opening the door; you then open it with the key or the interior handle. For a cupboard or walk-in closet, a fixed/fixed set suffices, purely for decoration and for closing. For specific knob handle designs, please view our knob handle. If you are unsure which configuration you need, our specialists will be happy to assist you.
Which brands and models do we carry?
In door knob sets, we carry both premium and accessible brands. Aprile is the Italian-oriented design brand with a wide selection of models: the faceted Mora, the rounded square Querca, the classic round Tuja, the sleek flat Ruta, and the distinctive, rounded rectangular Ortica. These models are available in matte gold, polished gold PVD, matte black, and chrome. This ensures there is a suitable knob for every taste within the design segment. The shapes range from classic round to distinctly modern.
Intersteel complements this as the Dutch standard, with classic and modern knob designs in all common finishes, while STERK supplies round knobs in matte gold and gold polished PVD for a distinctive look. If you are unsure whether to choose an affordable or a premium version, our specialists will be happy to assist you. Whichever brand you choose, be sure to ensure the knob matches the style of your door and your interior. This way, you will find the set that suits your home.
Which finishes can you choose?
For door knob sets, you can choose from a wide range of finishes to suit every interior style. Matte gold and PVD polished gold provide a warm, luxurious look that looks beautiful in a classic villa, while matte black appears sleek and contemporary in a modern home. Chrome adds a shiny, classic accent, and there are also versions in bronze, nickel, stainless steel, and brass for specific color preferences. Your choice should be coordinated with your doors and the atmosphere in your home. For a harmonious overall look, it is best to stick to a single finish.
The gold and black versions with a PVD coating deserve attention, as this finish is extremely scratch-resistant and remains colorfast for fifteen years or longer, even on a front door that catches a lot of sun. If you want to furnish your entire home in the same shade, consistently choose one finish for all your knobs and other hardware. If you are unsure between two shades, order one set first to examine at your leisure. This way, you can be certain that the color turns out exactly as you envisioned in your interior.
How do you measure a doorknob set?
You measure a doorknob set by paying attention to the spindle, the PC dimension, the backset, and the door thickness. For an interior door, the spindle is standard 8 mm square, the Dutch standard. The PC dimension is the distance between the center of the knob and the center of the cylinder: allow 55 mm for interior doors and 72 mm for front doors. In residential construction, the backset of the lock is typically around 50 mm. With these measurements, you can be sure that the set will fit your lock.
Additionally, measure your door thickness, as this determines the required length of the spindle and the fixing; allow 38 to 45 mm for an interior door and 40 to 65 mm for a front door. If you are replacing existing hardware, a new set will usually fit over it without problems if you choose the same dimensions. With a new door, you are free to choose and are not tied to anything. If you are unsure about any of the sizes, please send a photo of your door with a ruler to info@deurbeslag-expert.nl. Our advisors will be happy to assist you.
How do you put together a complete package?
You can put together a complete package by choosing the right configuration for each door and using a single finish throughout. Combine fixed/fixed sets on the cupboard doors, fixed/swing on the front door and privacy doors, and swing/swing on the other interior doors, all in the same shade. Complement this with matching hinges and locks so that everything aligns in terms of color and quality. By maintaining the same finish throughout, the style runs like a common thread through your home. This creates a calm and polished look. If you would like individual rotating knobs, please take a look at our rotating knob handle.
For your front door, also pay attention to burglary resistance according to the SKG quality mark; therefore, combine a fixed/swing set with matching security hardware and a good cylinder. For your interior doors, ensure you use matching hinges in the same finish. This way, every door becomes a well-thought-out whole. If you are unsure about the composition, our specialists will be happy to put together a suitable package for you via info@deurbeslag-expert.nl.
