Hello all,

- I need a knob for an "entry door knob" that is very short.

- The current entry door knob (at the bottom in the photo)is preventing us from opening the door to a pantry fully, and I am not able to pull out the shelves

- We actually do not lock the entry door lock.

- I do not want to get another deadbolt.

- I scoured all the catalogs online, I only found this:

It was not available at the store so I ordered one online, but I am not sure if it is going to work. When it arrives I'll know, but in the meantime, I am looking for alternatives.

Thanks,

What are you intending to do with that privacy lock? Try to use just the
inside handle from it and hope it fits the rest of the existing lock?
Good luck with that. Or replace an entry lock with the whole thing, which
gives you a privacy lock, which can be opened with a pass key for an
outside door? The latter would work, but it will be strange. Also since
the lock is for inside use, IDK how it will hold up with outside exposure.

I would try a local locksmith, they may either know a solution or have
catalogs that they can check.

I am in a pretty hostile environment here and I don't see that much
difference between interior and exterior locks in the same product
lines. Most residential stuff is crap anyway. If that folding lever
deal works for him, go for it. He is only looking for a passage set
anyway since he has the dead bolt for security. I have the same thing
here for my front door. Most "key in the knob" lock sets are a joke to
a burglar.
