door knobs Locks
People rarely think about door knobs. As long as they do their job. Some of us care about the aesthetic appeal of door knobs while others care only for their functionality.
Until the door knob breaks down, we rarely wonder how it works or how important it is to our safety and security.
How Does a Door Knob Work?
Two parts of the door knob are located on each side of the door. They are attached to the spindle that passes through the door.
The spindle goes through the latch, located inside the door.
The bolt is connected to the latch, which sticks out of the door and slides into an opening in the doorframe to prevent the door from opening.

What Types of Door Knobs Functions Exist?
You can choose among several knob types, depending on your preferences and requirements:
Keyed entrance – used both on the interior and exterior doors, these knobs have a key cylinder on the exterior.
On the interior, they have a push or turn button to lock or unlock the door.
Privacy – used on interior doors, these knobs have a push or turn button on the interior.
They can be unlocked from the outside with a generic tool.
Passage– used on closets or passages, these knobs don’t lock.
They are simply used to keep the door from swinging open.
Dummy – these door knobs are used in places where a knob may look appealing but the latching functionality isn’t required.
