The distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole where the knob or lever mounts. Match it to your door, or your latch will sit too short or too long to line up with the strike.
Always measure your own door — don't assume by door type.
Common sizes:
2 3/8" — the most common size for interior residential doors.
2 3/4" — common on exterior and commercial doors, though many residential exteriors use 2 3/8" too.
2 1/4" — typical of mortise locks, often older or antique-style hardware.
Adjustable — the latch adjusts to fit either 2 3/8" or 2 3/4".
The distance from the front face to the back face of the door slab. Hardware is designed to fit specific thicknesses — choose hardware that includes your door’s measurement within its range.
Always measure your own door — don't assume by door type.
Common sizes:
1 3/8" — the standard for most interior residential doors.
1 3/4" — the standard for exterior doors; also used for heavier interior doors and some commercial applications.
Other sizes — older homes, custom doors, and commercial or sound-rated doors may vary.
The diameter of the large round hole drilled through the face of the door where the knob or lever body is mounted. It is sometimes called the bore hole or face bore. The rosette or backplate on your hardware must be wide enough to cover this hole — if the hole is larger than the backplate, the hardware will not cover it.
Always measure your existing hole — don't assume it is the standard size, especially on older doors.
Common sizes:
2 1/8" — the industry standard for virtually all residential knobs and levers. Most hardware is designed to cover this size.
1 5/8" — found on some older doors and certain specialty applications.
3/4" — associated with mortise-style hardware, which uses a smaller face hole and a different internal mechanism.

About Nostalgic Warehouse doorknobs: Founded in 1980 Dallas Texas, Nostalgic Warehouse was started by an antique store owner who had noticed the staggering number of clients who appreciated vintage styles. Today, Nostalgic Warehouse has become a leading manufacturer of luxury hardware that falls under the Regal Brands umbrella, a company that offers brands such as Viaggio, Ageless Iron and Grandeur Hardware. Each Nostalgic Warehouse item is crafted in the Unite States by talented and experienced craftsman, who hot forge the products out of solid brass, a process that yields stronger and heavier material that can precisely depict each intricate design. Each step of the process has been fine tuned to provide the best quality product with unparallel elegance. Every item is meticulously hand carved and polished with sculptural arcs and angles that add visual appeal. Nostalgic Warehouse doorknobs are inspired by old world designs such as Victorian, romantic, rococo, and early Americana, but they also offer collections that can be utilized in transitional and modern space, minimally ornate with clean lines and geometric forms. Nostalgic Warehouse doorknobs are accessible in several functions such as dummy, keyed, passage, and privacy, and available in mount type mortise, surface, and tubular. The doorknobs are entirely made of solid brass, but some knobs are available in a lead-free crystal that are perfectly clear and free of defects and cloudiness. Nostalgic Warehouse offers over a dozen finishes including lacquered which keeps the patina frozen in time and living that changes with use and the passage of time.
We are very pleased with the product. It is well made and installed easily and matches very close to the older door knobs in our 1881 cape. The pictures on the website match what we received. The service provided by the vendor was excellent.
