Door Hardware - Knobs & Rings

Knob shapes beyond the standard round

This listing of knobs and rings for doors leans into shape more than the standard round knob: Sundial, Kettle, Egg, and Hitch each describe a distinct silhouette, while Trousdale and Ellis stay nearer a traditional profile. All of them belong to Rocky Mountain Hardware's numbered K-series, and most operate just like any turning door knob, just with a different form under the hand.

What the shape names describe

Egg and Kettle both curve outward from a narrower base, wider at the point you actually grip than at the door face, which alters how the knob sits in the palm next to a flat round shape. Elliptic flattens the profile into more of an oval than a circle, while Hitch keeps a more angular, almost hardware-store-plain look that suits a utilitarian door. Sundial and Trousdale split the difference, rounder overall but carrying extra texture that a plain sphere doesn't have. None of the shape differences change the bore size the knob mounts into, so a Kettle can generally swap in for an Egg on one door without needing to drill anything new.

The Element Passage Set is different from the rest

Element Passage Set - Knob to Knob pairs two matching knobs on either side of a non-locking door, built for closets, pantries, and interior passages where privacy isn't a concern. That's a different product than the single knobs listed alongside it, which are typically sold to replace just one side of an existing set instead of being bought as a matching duo. A passage set is the more practical buy compared to two single knobs bought separately, since the door needs both faces to match exactly.

One cabinet knob in the mix

Brut Cabinet Knob CK20010 appears on this door hardware listing even though it's sized and mounted for a cabinet, not a passage door. It's worth flagging for anyone landing here expecting only full-size door hardware: everything else on this page is scaled for doors, and Brut is the exception, sized for drawers and cabinet fronts instead. Anyone comparing it against the K-series knobs above should expect a noticeably smaller piece once it arrives.
