The first thing about door knobs that is great is that they come in all sorts of shapes.  There are round door knobs, square door knobs, and hundreds of other shaped door knobs.  The second great thing about door knobs is that they come in different textures.  There are bumpy door knobs, smooth door knobs, and sharp door knobs.  Lastly, door knobs can be made out of a variety of materials.  There are ceramic door knobs, wooden door knobs, and metal door knobs. 

Door knobs compliment any door, so if you are considering purchasing a door to seperate one room from another, don’t forget the door knob; it will make your door look better.

When you come to a home that is big and you need to speak to the occupants, the best thing to do is to push the door bell button.  But sometimes houses don’t have door bells, if this is the case then use the door knocker it is important.  If you are at a big house and there is no door bell then it is highly probable that they will be in a place that is out of earshot from a regular knock on the door.

If you are knocking with a fist and you don’t get an answer when you know that they are home, then you can expect that the reason is because they cant hear you.  Try the knocker or you may needlessly walk away without fulfilling the purpose of your visit.  So next time you are at a large house use the door knocker.

A Hinge Strap Is a fake decorative front. It is not actually a functioning hinge. It is like an old pioneer false front building.  It is to add character to the existing fixture.  After all you would not want the door hinge exposed, for security purposes.  A Strap hinge on the other hand is a hinge that is fixed to the face of the door instead of the side.  The strap hinge is most commonly used on barns and gates.
