Why Choose Bun Wooden Door Knobs?

Our Bun Wooden Door Knobs with Chrome Rose feature one of the simplest and most enduring door knob designs. Characterised by a smooth rounded shape and clean profile, the Bun design offers a traditional appearance without decorative rings or period-specific detailing, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of properties.

The gentle curve from the neck of the knob to its rounded face creates a comfortable grip and allows the natural beauty of the timber to take centre stage. This simplicity makes the Bun Door Knob particularly attractive in its natural rosewood finish, where the grain and colour variation of the timber become key features of the design.

Available in either natural rosewood or an ebonised finish, these wooden door knobs are supplied as a pair and mounted on solid brass rose plates finished in polished chrome. The bright chrome rose provides a clean contrast against the timber, making these knobs well suited to both traditional and more contemporary interiors.

Like the rest of our wooden door knob collection, the Bun design works particularly well on panelled doors when fitted to the centre rail, allowing a longer tubular latch to be used whilst maintaining balanced proportions.

Finish Options

These Bun Wooden Door Knobs are available in two timber finishes:

Rosewood

The natural rosewood option showcases the character and grain of the timber, creating a warm and authentic appearance that works particularly well in traditional interiors.

Ebonised

The ebonised version uses a durable black coating applied to the rosewood base material. This darker finish works well alongside painted doors and interiors where a stronger contrast is required.

Both finishes are supplied with polished chrome rose plates and matching chrome fixing screws.

Unsprung Door Knob Information

These are unsprung door knobs, meaning there is no spring mechanism built into the knobs themselves.

Instead, the return action is provided by the tubular latch. To ensure reliable operation, we recommend using a heavy-duty tubular latch specifically designed for use with unsprung door knobs.

Our complete sets include carefully selected heavy-duty tubular latches to provide smooth and reliable performance.

Set Options

Available as:

• Pair of Bun Wooden Door Knobs
• Pair of Knobs with 3" Heavy Duty Tubular Latch
• Pair of Knobs with 4" Heavy Duty Tubular Latch
• Pair of Knobs with 3" Tubular Latch, Deadbolt and Chrome Bathroom Turn & Release
• Pair of Knobs with 4" Tubular Latch, Deadbolt and Chrome Bathroom Turn & Release

Whilst a 3" latch is suitable for many installations, we generally recommend a 4" tubular latch wherever possible. The increased backset helps move the knob further away from the edge of the door and reduces the likelihood of knocking your knuckles against the door jamb during operation.

All tubular latches and deadbolts supplied within our sets are fire rated to CE 1121 CF 5531. Where a fire-rated installation is required, please consult your door supplier or project designer to confirm overall compliance.

Installation

The two knobs are connected through the door using a threaded spindle and secured using a small grub screw located within the neck of each knob.

This traditional fixing method provides a secure installation and allows minor adjustment during fitting.

We also provide a detailed fitting guide and video tutorial to assist customers unfamiliar with this style of door knob installation.

Whilst the separate chrome rose plate means these knobs can technically be used with certain rim locks, we would generally recommend choosing a dedicated rim knob where a rim lock installation is planned.
