Frank Turley Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Looking good. I like the lever handles. Mostly in the U.S., we have round door knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Mullins Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Nice design and execution. How are the assembled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well we have round knobs until you start having problems with arthritis; then they tend to get replaced with lever ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 I didn't know that in US the round knobs are standard, interesting. now, remembering the doors/knobs I saw in the movies (no other opportunity to see US so far), I'm seeing just round knobs. it seems that in old europe the lever handles are standard. I can't see the advantage of round knob. several times I had problems to twist one with a slippy hand or really impossible with the elbow or the ass when my hands were occupied, very easy with the lever handles. I'm glad you enjoy my work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 After living In log homes for 25+ yrs with latches I forget about round knobs till we go traveling. My first trip to Sweden years ago I liked the levers immediately but have no place for them now except on a couple of storm doors.As before very nice and would love to see installed.

Frosty Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Nice compound curves and flow, very attractive. Door knobs and soapy hands is how we Americans teach our kids to get a grip. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
