My house has the standard (for Texas anyway) fake panel doors with
cheap Kwickset knobs/locks. They are now 12-13 years old and
beginning to show some wear. I would like to repace them with
something with a little more class, like maybe glass knobs but all I
find are antique replacements which use the old door lock types with
the big keys. This takes an entirely different mounting hole than the
Kwickset's. Besides they cost about $100 a pop so for a dozen or so
doors that is just a bit more class than I want. Does anyone know of
a replacement knob set that will fit the Kwickset hole and maybe has a
glass knob? Preferable cheap and classy looking. Thanks.


You might have a look at www.lockhouse.com

On the Emtek link http://www.lockhouse.com/emtek/e-crystal_knobs.html
you will find the different Emtek crystal knob styles and a link to
the Emtek pdf. If you click on one of the knobs from the above
link, it will show the required bore. Most seem to be standard
2 1/8" bore with the 2 3/8" backset. They also have the old style
restoration knobs that take the square rod.
