Interior & Exterior Door Knobs (Keyed, Privacy, Passage & Dummy)
Shop door knobs for every room and entryway—interior and exterior styles in today’s most popular finishes and designs. Choose the right function first, then narrow by brand, finish, style, and price using the filters.
- Keyed Entry Door Knobs: Best for exterior/front doors where you need a keyed lock.
- Privacy Door Knobs: Ideal for bathrooms and bedrooms with an interior lock.
- Passage Door Knobs: Great for halls and closets—no locking function.
- Dummy Door Knobs: Surface-mounted for doors that don’t latch (like pantry or double doors).
If you love a style that isn’t offered as a keyed knob, pair a passage door knob with a deadbolt above it.

Door Knobs: Easy Upgrade, Big Impact
Replacing door knobs is one of the simplest home upgrades you can make. Swapping older finishes (like polished brass) for modern favorites—such as matte black, satin nickel, or bronze—can instantly update the look of your doors and increase curb appeal.
Door Knob Sizing & Fit (Backset + Door Thickness)
Before you buy, confirm a few basics so your new door knob fits correctly:
- Backset: Most doors are 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" (measure from the door edge to the center of the knob hole).
- Door thickness: Many residential doors are 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick.
- Bore hole: Standard is often 2-1/8" (check your existing hole size).

Shop Door Knobs by Function
There are 4 primary residential door knob functions. We also supply commercial door knobs, but the options below cover most home applications.
Keyed Entry Door Knob
Typically used on exterior doors or any door that needs a keyed lock. These door knobs have a keyed cylinder on the exterior. From the interior, the door locks using a turn button or push button/pin (varies by brand). If you're installing multiple keyed locks, we can often key them alike so one key works for all.
Privacy Door Knob
Common for bedrooms and bathrooms. Privacy knobs lock from the inside but don't use an exterior key cylinder. They typically include an emergency release option so you can access the room if needed.
Passage Door Knob
Passage knobs do not lock. Use them for halls, closets, and any interior door where you want the function of a knob without a lock. They’re also used on exterior doors when paired with a deadbolt above.
Dummy Door Knob
Dummy knobs are surface mounted and don't operate a latch. They're often used on pantry doors, double doors, or other doors where a latch isn't needed.

What’s the difference between a privacy and passage door knob?
Privacy knobs lock (bath/bed). Passage knobs don’t lock (hall/closet).
Can I use a passage door knob on an exterior door?
Yes—if you use a deadbolt above it for security.
