How to replace a doorknob

The most effective replacement would be something that was both functional and decorative. An attractive door handle can easily replace a plain doorknob.

This is where the key is to make sure whatever you choose looks exactly like the original, and is easy to use.

If other shiny finishes are in place, a shiny brass knob could be too expensive. If you have nothing else in your room, get it!

Another option is to choose a knob that matches existing hardware but does not match the rest of your home's style. This option is great if you are reworking kitchen cabinets or adding new countertops to another area of your home.

If you are looking for a classic look, try changing your knobs to match the handles.
