Brushed Nickel doorknob sets are a wonderful and elegant way to update older and worn doorknob hardware. This beautiful finish is extremely versatile because you can easily match it to your current hardware or (if you are remodeling or building new) find coordinating cabinet knobs, window hardware, hinges, and exterior door hardware. Satin nickel hardware is a great way to create a common theme throughout every room in your home without being stuck with one specific design or pattern – the use of a common finish will work to tie the look together for you.
There are a few choices available when you decide to use brushed nickel doorknob sets in your home. Glass and brass doorknob sets in a Satin Nickel finish can create a beautiful Victorian or even a contemporary theme. Glass cabinet knobs and pulls are available also to enhance this theme even further. Another great option is solid brass doorknob sets in a Satin Nickel finish. Brass offers a wide selection of extremely unique and eye catching designs. It is this extra detail in your hardware that can be used to reflect your own personality and style.
Brushed Nickel doorknob sets are available in four styles; single dummy, double dummy, passage and privacy sets. Single dummy and double dummy sets are non- turning sets that do not have a latch mechanism. A single dummy is a doorknob and rosette plate on one side of the door and a rosette plate on the other while a double dummy set is a knob on both sides of one door (Note: double dummy sets cannot be separated for use on two separate doors). Passage and Privacy sets come complete with latch mechanisms and are meant for bedrooms, bathrooms, or any door where a turning doorknob is needed. Privacy sets include a push pin lock while passage sets do not. You can ask an interior designer or other design expert for assistance or look to home decorating magazines.
Brushed Nickel doorknob sets are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid brass construction to ensure durability and quality and be sure to ask questions. When you work with Satin Nickel you can be sure that different combinations and shapes will tie themselves together nicely. These Brushed Nickel doorknob sets can be found online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
