My apt has 3 interior door knob sets and lock parts which are very cheap Home Depot instalments by previous owners. In dire need of lock repair as well as door knob switch-out to match the other old-world knobs in the apartment.
Wife and I too busy with work and children to go hunting for door knobs across various ant. stores. Also, Home Depot selection not cutting it.
Is there someone out there who can not only switch out/repair the shoddy locks mechanisms, but find door knobs to complement what we have in the rest of the apartment?
Locksmiths in general say that they can do the work, but that owners have to find the door know sets they wish installed.
Many thanks – MFB
Try Charlestonhardwareco.com . They have both antique and reproduction selections, one of which could possibly match your original knobs.
House of Antque Hardware was where I got all of my period-style doorknobs.

I think we’d really need to know what door knobs you have now to know what to recommend to complement them…
That said, Home Depot does have a selection of Baldwin knobs which are quite nice along with all the chintz stuff.

And I was at the scrap yard near the Lowes this morning and saw they had a rack of antique knobs as well, mostly glass.
