I ordered a total of 6 of these door knob sets (3 passage and 3 privacy) I chose these over the crystal knobs that my house had but did not function anymore ( built in 1926) because many reviews spoke of crystals falling out of knobs over and over again so it was back to basics. Anyway these brushed nickel satin knobs are simple but classy. I wanted something clean, but not plain which these are not the backing plate is very unique kinda Art-Deco feeling to it. These are solid knobs from a reputable knob and lock manufacturer that I’ve heard of my whole 56 years on the planet so I went with them.
