Western door knobs are the perfect final accessory to any country themed home. These door knobs can make your guests feel like they’re walking into a comfortable home when entering your front door. Western door knobs can vary from a sheriff’s star to a horse them to your family’s brand in cast iron.
These door knobs are pretty hard to track down. There are a few retailers online, but for the most part you’re going to have to find someone that makes custom knobs or a skilled blacksmith. This gets even more difficult if you want it to be a locking door knob, since there is such an increase in craftsmanship that goes into the finished product.
If you’re not looking for a locking western door knob you could get away with making your own as well, DIY doorknobs aren’t unheard of! I’ve seen a restaurant in the Southwest that used leather from a saddle for their door knobs. They cut the pieces out and sew the edges to help keep it from taking too much abuse. It was a very fitting and classy accessory for this restaurant. I know that saddles are expensive, but this should be used as an example of the options that are available to you. If you were to need a lock, you could install a deadbolt above the door handles.
