Random information on the term “Knob”:
A door handle is an attached object or mechanism used to manually open or close a door.[1] In the United States, a door handle generally refers to any fixed or lever-operated door latch device. The term door knob or doorknob tends to refer to round operating mechanisms. Home-entry door handles are usually more sophisticated than bedroom door handles. The handles may or may not be attached to a plate and basically provide grip to open or close a door.
There is a subtle difference between a knob and a door handle. Though these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but a knob is generally rotated in circular clock-wise or anti-clockwise motion while a handle moves up and down in the vertical direction. Some handles, also known as pull handles, are fixed and do not have any moving mechanism.
The traditional door knob has a bolt or spindle running through it that sits just above a cylinder, to which the spindle is connected. Turning the knob pulls the cylinder in the direction of the turn. The end of the cylinder is the “latch bolt” (more simply known as the “latch”), which protrudes into a space carved out of the door frame, and which prevents the door from being opened if the knob is not turned. A spring or similar mechanism causes the latch to return to its protruding state whenever the knob is not being turned. escutcheon plates are the keyhole covers, usually circular, through which keys pass to enter the lock body. If the door handles have a square or rectangular plate on which the handle is mounted this is called the backplate. The backplate can be plain (for use with latches), pierced for keyholes (for use with locks), or pierced and fitted with turn knobs and releases (for use with bathroom locks). The plate on the front edge of the lock where the latch bolt protrudes is called the faceplate.[2]
