The engineering of my front door has developed over the years. I have now
got a standard yale latch, standard mortice, good and tight draught excluder
strips on 3 sides and now a roller catch for convenience. This means that I
have no need for turning door knob but every need for simple big knobs.
Where can I get what looks like a door handle but is just a simple brass
knob? All I've seen are too small.
Present solution is a soldered up turny knob, but it is about to
disintegrate!

TIA,
Mike

FYI, apparantly they are called 'centre knobs'

Wood ones are easily DIYed to any size and profile. If yo dont have
a lathe, a drill will do it, with grinding action from a gently
wielded
angle grinder or very coarse sandpaper. Can make whatever you likek
then.
