Door knob - satin brass/transitional

6 years ago

Hello wonderful people of Houzz!

Any suggestions on where I can find interior door knobs (both privacy and passage) in satin brass in a transitional style? Attached is a photo of the style I like but it’s not offered in satin brass.

I just had a terrible experience at my local hardware store and am gratefully running back to the comforting warmth of Houzz’s helpful commenters. (The local hardware store rep mocked me when I said “I didn’t need high end door knobs like Baldwin for my interior doors”, to which he responded “Baldwin is not high end by any means. Our best ones go for over $1700!”.

And when I inquired if it’s possible to find a decent door knob for under $50 but better quality than Kwikset, he told me just to go to Home Depot and see what they offered. Rude.

Sooooooo....is he right? Is there no middle ground between Schlage vs Emtek? Specifically in satin brass and in a similar style to this photo? Ideally under $50/door knob?

Honestly? I'd do Emtek. I hear you don't want a fortune in door hardware , but. Once and done to love forever, :) is the best value long term.

its not just a knob. Hinges should match:)

Hi Jan! Agreed that Emtek quality, color, and style are great. In all likelihood, I will probably end up with Emtek bc I’m having a hard time finding anything else that’s cheaper in satin brass.

Just wanted to see if there were any alternatives I may be overlooking. :)

Oops sorry I can’t figure out how to edit my comments on mobile but absolutely will get matching hinges!

In the grand scheme of things, amortizing the cost of the doors over the next 15-20 years is small potatoes but just trying to see where I can trim some costs. But if it’s not possible, then it’s not possible! :)

You want to cut costs don’t do a finish that is costly.Honestly I have no idea what a transitional door knob style is. So many clients I have want all the brass gone from their homes I guess I just do more contemporary design.
