Door knobs are more than just functional hardware—they’re an essential part of your home’s security, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal. At Near Me Locksmith, we provide comprehensive door knob installation and repair services for residential properties throughout Denton, TX.
Whether you’re upgrading to modern lever handles, replacing worn-out knobs, or dealing with a broken mechanism, our experienced locksmiths have the expertise to handle any door knob challenge.
Types of Door Knobs We Install
Keyed Entry Door Knobs: These provide basic security for exterior doors, featuring a key cylinder on the outside and a twist lock on the inside. Perfect for secondary entrances like side or back doors.
Privacy Door Knobs: Designed for bathrooms and bedrooms, these knobs lock from the inside with a push-button or twist mechanism and can be unlocked from the outside with a small tool in emergencies.
Passage Door Knobs: Non-locking knobs ideal for hallways, closets, and rooms where privacy isn’t needed. These are purely functional and decorative.
Dummy Door Knobs: Fixed knobs that don’t turn or latch, commonly used on closet doors or as decorative pulls on double doors.
Lever Handle Door Knobs: ADA-compliant and easier to operate than traditional round knobs, especially for those with limited hand mobility or arthritis.
Common Door Knob Problems We Repair
Even high-quality door knobs can develop issues over time due to regular use and wear. Our repair services address:
- Loose or wobbly door knobs that spin without latching
- Stuck mechanisms that won’t turn or retract
- Broken internal springs or latches
- Keys that won’t turn in keyed entry knobs
- Door knobs that won’t lock or unlock properly
- Stripped screws or mounting plates
- Misaligned strike plates causing difficult operation
- Worn finishes or damaged decorative elements
Professional Installation Process
Our door knob installation service ensures proper fit and function:
Assessment: We examine your door thickness, backset measurement, and existing hardware to recommend compatible replacements.
Precise Measurement: Door knobs require specific backset measurements (typically 2-3/8″ or 2-3/4″). We measure accurately to ensure proper installation.
Clean Installation: We drill new holes if needed or adapt existing ones, ensuring clean, professional results.
Proper Alignment: We align the latch with the strike plate perfectly so your door closes smoothly and locks securely.
Hardware Selection: We can help you choose door knobs that match your home’s style while meeting your security needs.
Why Professional Installation Matters
While door knob installation might seem simple, improper installation can lead to several problems:
- Doors that don’t latch properly, creating security vulnerabilities
- Premature wear due to misalignment
- Difficulty opening and closing doors
- Loose hardware that requires constant tightening
- Damaged door materials from incorrect drilling
Our professional locksmiths ensure your door knobs are installed correctly the first time, saving you frustration and future repair costs.
