You're doing up your rooms and decide to get some new door handles to finish off your fabulous new look. Where do you go to get your new door handles?

So you know I bought a single 'click deco' brand dolly light switch a while back and found it to be pretty poor quality so it was returned. Ended up with these: http://www.forbesandlomax.com/the-unlacquered-brass-range.html Really good quality and they have lovely finishes too. I quite like their antique bronze range too as it contrasts nicely with chrome/nickel finishes without clashing. If you'd really like everything to match then take a look at the Jim Lawrence range. They're not the cheapest but offer both light switches and door furniture in a large selection of finishes. They also do the narrow style of light switches which I think looks really elegant in older houses. https://www.jim-lawrence.co.uk/door-window/door-handles-door-knobs/bromley-handle-with-bristol-keyhole-backplate-in-510201bw?returnurl=%2fdoor-window%2fdoor-handles-door-knobs%2f%3fcount%3d36 https://www.jim-lawrence.co.uk/1-gang-dolly-architrave-switch-in-chrome-with-3279chniz https://www.jim-lawrence.co.uk/2-gang-black-dolly-switch-bevelled-plate/

Hi all, I just read a post about door handle height for Victorian doors and then spotted this one. I think the other one has been active more recently but I'll post here too. We've just bought a 1930s semi and I want to replace the doors with 1930s 1-over-3 style, just like the ones in this post. I'm not sure where to put the door knobs (we want to use knobs rather than handles). My instinct is to go for the middle horizontal but it could be very high - 1130 or even 1190 from the floor depending on which manufacturer provides the door. I also want thumb turn locks on the bathroom door so need to allow room for that and therefore that door probably dictates the rest. I'd love your views! For people have put them on the middle horizontal, how high are they, and do you find them too high? I'm 5'5" but I wonder about someone smaller visiting (like my mother, or children). Thank you!!!

I think the height is irrelevant because every door is different. So I think you have to buy a long spindle and place the knob or handle in the centre of where the cross bar would be (if it were a solid door rather than hollow) This picture of an old door shows the traditional placement
