How to Install New Doorknobs

Hello! I am thrilled to bits with my latest upgrade - lever doorknobs for my interior doors!!

My very first home had lever doorknobs and I loved the ease of them. So much better than knobs for those times when your hands are full. I love the look of them as well.

My latest house has mismatched doorknobs throughout. The original, 1930s house has glass doorknobs which I kept. The new part of the house had chrome knobs and every time I opened or closed a door my knuckles would bang against the door frame. Curses!!! Thanks to my partnership with D. Lawless Hardware, I was able to install gorgeous lever doorknobs from a manufacturer called Copper Creek in a Tuscan bronze finish that matches most of my light fixtures and the kitchen hardware.
