You'll have to help the blinds/shades over both, unless your door frames are abnormally deep. We have several sets of small double doors (MBR to MB, pantry, MBR closet) and have dummy levers. I don't think they are harder to pull open than knobs...having had dummy knobs last house.

I say get what you want, not what someone else is telling you you should do. ;)

We have the same issue but decided to stick with the levers. I just like the looks of them better. We'll have to help the blinds over them occassionally but more often than not, the blinds will be up.

The other room that was a challenge is our den which has french doors and plantation shutters. We had to get the special cut out (which I don't really care for) but I wasn't willing to give up either the shutters or the lever.

What I am doing is this...

I like the look of both and could not decide, so I chose egg knobs for all of the single doors in the house and levers for all of the double doors in the house.

You could do the same, or reverse it to egg knobs for double and levers for single.

We do have levers on a door with blinds, and it is sometimes an annoyance to deal with it, but not majorly so.

I also vote for get what you want.

Another question...can you see the lever through the glass when looking from in from the outside? I'm sure you must be able to.

We are doing a mix of both, mostly levers on the interior doors and egg knobs on the exterior. Because I like both....which of course will be your answer too, if that's what you want!! Mixing them is fine, get what you like.

We used a combination, much like the post immediately above. (NB: Our Labrador retriever learned how to open the lever doors with his nose and let himself out of the house or into guests' rooms. Beware! Levers are ADA friendly, but they are also Labrador friendly.)

Yes, you can see the levers thru the glass, does that matter? It's not something I notice.

Our dog can open the doors to let himself out on the veranda and back inside. Saves us from having to get up! lol

Oh boy...we have a Lab and we have deer so I guess I should consider that! :)

OK, lately all of my posts make me sound really tired (which I am) or really stupid (which I'm not)! The lab is inside and would be getting outside to the deer. Hope everyone realized that. :)

I have deer too, so I knew exactly what you meant! lol We always keep the doors locked anyway. A couple of the cats can open them too.

I prefer levers on any door - arthiritis is one reason and another is so easy to open when I have my hands full. Especially when heading to the grill outside.

Yup, deer here, too.

txgal, you don't sound tired or stupid! Just a homeowner at the end of her build! LOL! Right there with ya girly!

So what did you decide? I still prefer the levers but if you put the egg knobs on the french doors, I would put the same on the Master Bedroom doors.
