Looking for door knob and way to lock door

papakevin · Dec 26, 2014

This is an odd question, but I'm looking to match the older style doorknobs in a house we recently purchased and wondering where to start my search.

The knobs appear to be Schlage brand. None of them have any locks (including the bathroom knobs) so I'm looking for either the same style with a lock incorporated or looking for a way to add a separate lock (a little more classy than your standard hook and eye bolt.)

I've attached a photo for easy reference. I don't even know what you'd call this type of fancy door knob to even search it, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Why not send the photo you posted directly to Schlage? Here is a contact phone number where you could work through the options:

That looks familiar... what I think you have there is a schlage interior passage system with the old knob and plate attached to make it look old. The screws are philips and there is a hole for a key. That plate is for a mortised lock in old school terms.
Basically The new innards you have, were modified to fit with an old style knob.
However you can ask Schlage... they will sell you what they can.

Is it a new lock that looks old or is it an old mortise lock?

This might explain what you have

You could use a dead bolt cylinder to line up with the key hole and modify the turn shaft with something that looks like a key on the inside with just a small round knob on the outside so it could be opened from outside.
