Due to unprecedented demand on courier services nationally, we are being informed by DPD that they are experiencing delays to some postcodes.
Please see the DPD Service Disruption page to check if your postcode is affected.
DPD are advising that there may be a delay of between 24-48hr. This is due to the strike action taken by the Royal Mail and DPD being used as an alternative.
DPD will advise customers of any delay and you will be able to view impacted parcels on your MyDPD Local dashboard when your order has been despatched. In some cases, we may not be able to despatch your order until advised by DPD.
Apologies for this and we are sure you appreciate this is something that is out of our control.

Please also note that our courier, DPD, will also be closed for the bank holiday so any orders placed after 10am Friday 16th September will be despatched Wednesday 21st September for delivery the following day, Thursday 22nd September.

As this year comes to an end and the hope that we will, at some point, return to some form of normality soon, despite the continued uncertainty, demand for our Vintage Door Knobs remains extremely high!
It appears that your appetite to forge ahead with your renovations and build projects is an indication of your refusal to let the current situation get in your way.
We continue to have specific measures in place that we have prioritised to ensure the safety of our staff and on occasions, staff still have to self-isolate as a precautionary measure.
The last date that we can receive orders to guarantee a pre-Christmas delivery will be 9.30am on Wednesday 22nd December 2021 with the last date for delivery being Thursday 23rd December 2021.
Any orders placed after the cut-off date cannot be guaranteed to be despatched prior to Christmas, but if we are able to do so we will do.
If you do not require your order until the New Year, please indicate this in the comments box at checkout.

Please continue to keep safe!

WE ARE OPEN AND TAKING ORDERS ONLINE AS NORMAL!
Amidst these unusual times, here at The Vintage Door Knob Centre, we feel it is very important to keep connected to our customers and provide support wherever we can.
The government outlined this week that every effort should be made across society to minimise social contact for a further three weeks in order to slow the spread of the virus.
As a company we continue to adopt this policy and this means we continue to have a slightly reduced production capacity so you may find normal services may take a little more time.
As we enter another week, our office staff continue working from home, and those producing your orders are keeping to the social distancing rules and following strict hygiene routines. The health and well-being of our families, colleagues, customers and the wider community is paramount to us, as ever.
WE ARE ANSWERING ALL EMAILS! Therefore, we would like to remind you to email via the website and we will respond promptly to your request.
As we are unable to take direct calls at present, we will use the answer phone to support this message.
Through all of this, we can assure you we remain focused on ensuring you will receive a quality product with the same unrivalled service, whenever you need it.
Stay safe and keep in touch!

Jamie from Gloucestershire has sent us the following photos of the Georgian Door Knobs Brass Reeded Large:
He commented: We bought 3 pairs for the doors in our front hallway, and they feel nice and sturdy, and operate smoothly. The colour isn’t a uniform brass, so they do look a little aged which is what we were looking for in our 200-year old Georgian house.
Many thanks to Jamie for these photos.

Vintage cupboard knobs very popuplar
Further to the introduction of our vintage cupboard knobs earlier in the year, these have proved to be extremely popular and customers are now seeing the benefit matching their vintage door knobs with the cupboard knobs we can offer.
Likewise, many trades are purchasing the vintage cupboard knobs as alternatives to the boring cabinet handles available on the high street and in the usual DIY stores and are breathing new life into that new kitchen or restored vintage chest of drawers with these smaller cupboard knobs.
Please don’t miss out on this great opportunity and be sure to order in time for pre-Christmas delivery.
