The JV34B budget mortice door knob set is a contract quality oval door knob available in brass chrome or satin chrome. Each set comes complete with an 8mm spindle and fixing screws.

Correct Mortice Latches

The JV34B budget door knob set is half-sprung and can be used with a lightly sprung latch, without any fear of the knob not returning after use.  Heavy duty latches may to give too much springing and make the knobs difficult to use for children and the elderly.  Thought should also be given to using a deeper than average latch to avoid catching your knuckles on the door frame.

Brass, Chrome or Satin Chrome

The JV34B oval door knob set is available in traditional polished brass, which is lacquered, satin chrome or polished chrome. Polished chrome is a particularly hard wearing and durable finish which will last for many years. It can be maintained by periodic wiping with a damp cloth soaked in a mild soapy solution.

Latch Depth

Consideration should be given to using the deepest latch possible positioning the centre of the knob as far away as possible from the edge of the door. Doing this will avoid that painful event of catching your knuckles on the door frame, when opening or closing the door.  Aim to have the centre of the knob at least 75mm or more from the edge of the door by using a 100mm latch.
