Vintage Glass Door Knobs

Vintage glass door knobs are the perfect addition to homes of any age.  Finding enough of them at affordable prices can be tough, but in this post I want to share some different ways to find vintage door knobs and crystal door knobs at decent prices.

The key to finding door knobs that fit your budget is to be patient and shop around.  There are millions of these floating around vintage and antique shops all around the country/world, as well as online.  If you buy the first ones that you see, odds are that you aren’t going to find the best ones for your home and you’ll probably pay too much for them.  Saving money is important when shopping for these because there are a lot of doors in your home, and changing out all of them could potentially be a very large expense.

Vintage glass door knobs are easily found in antique shops.  They collect them because they look cool, and will assign a price based on that “coolness”.  There isn’t a price guide for antique door knobs, so you can find them in every price range imaginable.  Heading out to different shops will give you an idea of what’s out there and easily found.  If you aren’t seeing what you want, turn to the internet.

There are stores on the web that specialize in going to antique stores and finding these door knobs for you.  eBay is also popular, but you’ll rarely find any sort of shipping deals on eBay.  Vintage glass door knobs are much heavier than they look (especially brass door knobs), so shipping costs can be extraordinary when you’re buying an entire home’s worth of knobs.  The trick is to shop around until you find the one that’s offering free shipping (it’s common).  This will save you at least a hundred bucks!

Some of the offsets on vintage door knobs are different than what current homes have.  This is rare, and the older the door knob is, the more likely it is that it won’t fit.  Professional online stores will have these dimensions listed for you so that you can measure your doors ahead of time.

Vintage glass door knobs can be very affordable when you take the time to shop around.  I don’t know many easier ways to make a huge improvement in a home than by adding the class that comes with crystal door knobs.
