Renovators Supply Manufacturing Dummy Door Knob Spindle 1 in. Dummy Door Handle Spindle with Mounting Hardware Pack of 6

I am grateful to have found this. The doorknob came off. I discovered that the existing part had broken -- the "spindle" part with the threads had separated from the plate part with the 3 holes. I had no idea how to resolve. Super glue did not work. I even went to a local metal shop and tried welding, but without success. When I went to the hardware store I found that the spindle part did not have a standard thread -- english or metric. But it did have same thread as other doorknob spindle parts! I looked on Amazon for "doorknob parts" and found that what I was looking for -- a "dummy spindle"! Problem solved. I did need to redrill the 3 holes in the door to get the doorknob to align properly. Easy! Thanks!!

Needed to convert a glass knob into a pair of dummy knobs, and it fit perfect

This product is exactly what I needed. My significant other had purchased a new doorknob for the sliding door to the closet. She got a very nice regular door knob not realizing that we needed dummy knobs.These screwed right into the back of the new handle where the spindle would have gone, holding the trim plate in place. I did not screw this to the door (I just reused the existing holes in the door from the old knobs backing plate). As a result my knobs spin freely (which I like).Super easy to install. Could not be more pleased. My initial thought was that these were a bit pricey but now having used them they were worth every penny.

As described and worked well on antique brass egg knobs with trim. Thankfully the base plate was smaller than 1 3/8" so it fit behind the bezel. The slotted pan screws I suppose are period correct, but not convenient.

Product does not fit flush with door forcing an extra hole be drilled in the door. Screw holes are not tapered which may cause the door plate not to seat properly. Not worth the price and aggravation.

Works but poorly engineered.It looks like a 5 year old engineered the product. Which consists of the circular plate with screw holes and a post that fits in; however, that post has a head to it which hold it to plate which is NOT flush with plate so it will wooble against the door when it is installed. So you must carefully screw in evenly so it sits straight.I counter sunk a screw hole behind the post so it would sit flush behind the plate on the door and works great. If you don’t do that or perfectly set your screws post will not sit straight.

Should have flat head screws as had to position them so cover would fit flat over the ones provided.

I had no idea these spindles existed, I was Finally able to use my antique knobs! The instructions are easy to follow I didn’t need power tools to install the spindle to the door.
