insulate doorknob
wrote:
Has anyone ever insulated a doorknob to keep the cold air out? I was
thinking about removing it, filling the hole with foam then cut holes
for the screws and latch. Wondering what other's opinions are.
Thanks,

How is the "cold air" coming in?
Is it leaking out around the knob shank? There can't be a very large gap
there. maybe just an O-ring over the shank pushed against the hole it
comes through would stop most of the air flow. You could use a little
superglue to keep the O-ring in place.
Methinks you're straining at a gnat in terms of the amount of cold air
coming in there, relative to all the other air leaks in the average
house. but have fun....
