I reviewed countless knobs in search for just the right ones. I was facinated with this style, and despite looking at others I liked, I kept coming back to this one (Waldorf knob, Mission plate, Oil rubbed bronze with the keyhole). I looked at several of these, but the simplicity of the Mission plate just appealed to me more than the others. It was tempting to go with the popular lever type door handle. They are considerbly cheaper and have some practical applications (i.e. opening a door with full hands) However, I am very pleased with my decision and I really like the way these look installed.
