Black Door Knobs FAQ's

What are beehive door knobs?

Beehive door knobs are a classic style of door hardware characterized by a distinctive, intricate pattern of concentric rings or 'beehive' design carved into the knob's surface. This design was popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras and is often made from materials like ebony, brass, or in this case, a black finish. Our black beehive door knobs offer a stylish, vintage look that adds a touch of historical elegance to any door.

Are these suitable for both internal and external doors?

Our black beehive door knobs are primarily designed for internal use. The black finish, while durable, may not withstand harsh external weather conditions as effectively as specialized exterior hardware. For external doors, we recommend considering our range of weather-resistant iron or brass knobs which are specifically treated to prevent rust and corrosion.

What is a "mortice" and "rim" knob and which one should I choose?

A mortice knob is designed to work with a mortice lock or latch, which is a mechanism fitted into the edge of the door. These are the most common type of internal door knobs used today. A rim knob, on the other hand, is designed to work with a rim lock, which is a lock fitted onto the surface of the door. The correct choice depends on the type of lock you have or plan to install. If you are replacing existing knobs, check if your current lock is a mortice (inside the door) or a rim (on the door's surface) to ensure a perfect fit.

What's included in the box and are they easy to install?

Each set of our black beehive door knobs comes with two knobs, a spindle, and all the necessary screws for installation. We also include a comprehensive, step-by-step installation guide to help you fit the knobs correctly. While installation is straightforward for those with basic DIY skills, we recommend consulting a professional if you are unsure. You will typically need a screwdriver and a tape measure for the fitting process.
