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....

I didn't mean that there was actually a stream of cold air (which
there isn't) just the knob itself is freezing cold probably because it
is made of steel. I figured filling the gap with spray foam or
replacing the bezel with a wooden one would solve the problem.
