Operation:

It is difficult for children to operate doorknobs, mostly infants. A person lacking in a firm grip might encounter a problem to hold a doorknob and have to use two hands. To eliminate this problem a lever is used instead these days. Door knobs are sometimes difficult to turn in small widths from the main frame of the doors. Household doorknobs have a simple mechanism. A simple mechanism includes a screw-style axle which is also called as a spindle. This spindle has at least one flat side. It passes through the door latch. Knobs on both the sides of the doors are attached by screws. Loosing traction of the door knobs is not a big problem. It can be repaired by replacing or adjusting the set screw. This prevents the door knobs from slipping on the spindle.
