Copper Creek BK2090PB Ball Dummy Door Knob, Polished Brass

Thought it was a full doorknob. :(

I absolutely love these! I wish they made non dummy models, for bathroom or hallway closets.

As advertised.

Product is good quality and sturdy. The shine is great.

The quality assurance is the issue here. It's a simple item to set expectations; and yet, with this frustrated me, us in repairing this main room door with a pull handle, knob. The screw plate, appears as is plated brass and has a 2-3mm "smootch" in it, spot, not adhered to glitch in the finish. Removing the knob to install the screw mount plate was near impossible. Moreover, the instructions "implying" to just poke the hole to release it were useless. Why so hard? Well, just poking the hole should have worked once I figured out how it was latched. This item has zero oil on it so the clip did not push in to release it. And, then made pulling the knob off the post was a challenge - no oil, so had to be patient and work, wiggle it off. Kudos for the tightness of it I guess, otherwise. How I got it off, not knowing how the clip was to release was I decided to try to slide the very cheap "key" release "tool" under (under) and around the little 2-3mm access hole while pulling the knob. I felt it "give" when went toward the knob (if even picked a lock, that "give" when a tumbler pin releases - like that) and felt the knob give a little. When saw the wedge end and once the knob was free I could see that if any amount of oil had been applied or that part less tight it would have popped off. However, no one wants a loose knob to start with so appreciate that tightness. However too, when in place, set - no so tight. We were going to exchange it and not install it. However, didn't want the hassle and the wife said she could live with the "smootched" plating finish. In time I may not see it every time I walk into the room - so it may get returned for exchange yet. One positive was the screws lined up with the prior knob that was there for approximately 30 years; so that "standard" of spec was nice to see since it is a very expensive, brand name, solid wood door. We just figured for what we paid for the prior pull handle which was solid cast brass and what failed on it - the mount post and plate, why do that again and felt this may do the job just as well and liked the very round ball knob which fit the style as well, if not better. So, I hope this helps someone in making a decision and preparation for their project. Now, knowing how it releases, I could know to pre-lube and etc. watch for Plating issues if may matter in your project.
