How To
How to replace the doorknob

If there are other shiny finishes around the house, a shiny brass knob might seem too extravagant. If there's no other furniture in the room, you can have it!
Another option is to choose a knob that matches existing hardware but does not match the rest of your home's style. This is a great option if you are renovating your kitchen cabinets or installing a new countertop in another area of the house.
You might want to keep it traditional by changing the knobs to match your handles.
