The interior knob on my front door needs some serious help. For six months now, the knob has been coming off the door when pulled in a certain way. So every once in a while an unsuspecting guest pulls on the knob and the whole thing comes off leaving a brown swipe of grease on their hand, or worse, their clothing. I have absolutely no idea how to replace a front door knob and lock, nor does my husband. I may have to call someone in.

i am lucky to have the most awesome doorknobs on every door in my house. they make a huge difference.
i LOVE knob #2! it's purple!!
These are all gorgeous. I'm sure you'll find one that's equally fabulous. If we lived closer, I'd send my husband over to install it for you! Should be a quick and not too pricey job for your local handyman. Good luck!
These are such a perfect touch for a classic home.
I love this post! We were in Portland recently and went to Hippo's and Rejuvination, they both have awesome displays of old door knobs. Love them all!!
Before you call a handyman, go to This Old House, they have lots of how to videos, and as I recall, they have one on replacing a door knob. Good luck.
Sara, here's a good DIY video. It's actually pretty easy. Now, lovely old doorknobs can be a different story. http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/how-to-change-a-door-handle/index.html

i love the antique knobs! especially using it to hold back curtains, very creative
Love! I'm actually going to use some for drapery tie backs... once I figure out what drapes I want.
You're a mind reader - I was just thinking that I need to go antiquing this weekend to look for a doorknob. Love these!
I can't wait to show this post to my husband who will be in doorknob heaven when he sees it! We collected windows/doors and door knobs and locks for three years before we started buliding our home. They are so beautiful and have such a history. I wonder who has turned our door knobs and what they have seen! Not to mention they look stunning! xxCorrina.
