A pair of Victorian style door knobs with a natural hardwood "beehive" design, nickel collars and nickel rose plates.

High quality, hand turned, solid hardwood door knobs/handles from a sustainable source made to an original Victorian beehive design.

These Victorian beehive door knobs/handles have been faithfully reproduced from an original door knob we were fortunate to salvage and are therefore a design exclusive to us, despite there being many copies on the market.

This style was very popular from the Victorian period (c. 1837 - 1901) right up to today and because the door knobs come with separate rose plates they can be used on either tubular, mortise or rim locks

The door knobs are unsprung and rely on the spring in the door lock for their back and forth movement

These door knobs have that genuine period look and would really enhance and make a feature of any door.

Key Points
  • High quality design taken from an original door knob salvaged by us.
  • Hand turned natural solid hardwood handles with rich colouring.
  • Each set comes complete in its own box with door knobs, steel spindle, all fixing screws, hex head steel grub screw and individual Allen key for fitting grub screws.
  • Nickel finish on collar and rose plates.
  • All fixing screws also nickel coated to match.
  • The threaded steel spindle is grooved and threaded either end for fine adjustments. This is known as "The Pitts Mortice System".
  • Spindle also comes with a removable collar if existing lock housing is slightly smaller.
  • All grub screws now made from steel for durability.
  • Suitable for indoor use only.
  • Due to these door knobs being made of natural solid hardwood, their colour will vary and the photos are representative only
Specification for Victorian style hardwood beehive nickel door knob *
Metric Imperial
Door knob projection 85mm 3.34"
Door knob diameter 58mm 2.28"
Rose plate diameter 58mm 2.28"
Spindle length 125mm 4.92"
Spindle diameter 7.3mm 0.29"
Max door thickness 65mm 2.56"
* As these door knobs are handmade and finished, the above specification should act as a guide only.

Required Tools:

  • Screwdriver for wood screws
  • Allen key (included) for grubs screws
  • Pencil
(Always ensure you use the correct size screwdrivers)
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN GRUB OR WOOD SCREWS OR USE POWER TOOLS AS THIS MAY RESULT IN FITTING SCREWS BEING DAMAGED.

Check assembly and that all parts are present before starting.
You should have x2 door knobs, x2 rose/back plates, x1 universal spindle with slide off packer, allen key for grub screw and fitting screws for rose plates.

  1. Insert spindle through door latch mechanism, ensuring that equal amounts of the thread project to each side of the door. Place x1 rose / back plate over spindle on one side and then screw on door knob.

  2. Carefully tighten grub screw ensuring that the grub screw is located into one of the key way recess's of the spindle and not onto the threaded part of the spindle. Failure to do so will result in the door knob working loose and unscrewing.
    Tighten grub screw carefully, but do not over tighten – ‘nip it up’ using the Allen key.

  3. At this point you must ensure the spindle is level / horizontal. Failure to do so may mean that the door knob assembly will stick during service and may fail or cause the door knob to break.

  4. Secure the rose / back plate by making the pilot holes and then screwing in the wood screws. Again, do not over tighten wood screws.

  5. Insert 2nd rose / back plate over spindle on other side of door and repeat points as above.

  6. Remember that there should be a little play in the door knobs to ensure that they can be turned within the rose plates. Do not over tighten as the mechanism will not operate.

  7. Please ensure that all stained door knobs receive a wipe with a lint free dry cloth to remove any residue left after production.

  Sympathetic Reproduction Victorian Door Knobs

We recently moved into an 1880s farmhouse which has had some alterations over the last 20+yrs, but lacked attention to detail with the internal doors! No handles matched and no door shut!! These hardwood beehive and chrome door knobs are a perfect compliment to what we are doing to bring the farmhouse back to life. The company were speedy in delivery and communication via email was excellent. The price was also very competitive. Thank you.

Good quality door knobs and a pleasure to use. Beautiful to look at and offset the oak doors well. My only criticism is that the screws on the roses are quite large and obtrusive.

  Reproduction door knobs

We have a Georgian house with a wide variety of legacy internal doors, some with rim locks, some without. Horrible bunch if mismatching porcelain and brass knobs. These new Door Knobs look like they have always been there, were easy to fit on all doors and have really brought the house together. They arrived quickly and well priced. Very impressed.

  New door handles for old

Moved into a new house, built in the 40's and still with the original doors but horrible porcelain handles with cheap, brass collars.These wooden handles, although of the wrong era, just makes these doors 'pop' as the kids say. Easy to fit though they're 50mm thick so had to juggle them a bit. Still learning how to do it properly though stupidly bought more spindles thinking they're longer but they're not. That aside, quality bits of kit.

  beautiful door knobs

This reproduction door knobs are great. They are really good quality and half the price of similar ones you can source on the internet. I actually did comparisons and bought an expensive one and one from here. I couldn't see any difference and they look stunning on the refurbed doors. They are quite big and chunky so check the size of your existing door knobs.

  Classy Period Knobs

These knobs match the originals in my 1911 home and I can't find matches anywhere else. I've used the chrome base versions inside the bathrooms with chrome escutcheons to match the tapware, and the brass versions on the outside of the doors to match the rest of the house. Quite good value despite a 40% price increase in the last year.

I am absolutely delighted with these doorknobs which were much cheaper than ones I saw elsewhere but are really beautiful. (I haven't put them on the doors yet so can't comment on fit or whether screws were adequate.)

  Door Knobs

I was looking for ages to find door knobs to replace our houses damaged or missing original victorian ones. I came across this website by typing in "reclaimed door knobs". I ordered the Beehive - 8 and am absolutely delighted with the quality and the dark brown colour is perfect. At £9.50 a pair the price was brilliant and delivery was prompt. I realised I had miss counted how many sets I needed and ordered another set and within 2 days they had arrived. I am sure they will look great once they are in situ. Thank you so much.
