What is the best finish for door knobs?
A prophylactic coating of wax and a lasting finish are the ideal finishes for a door knob. Because of their durability and modern appearance, chrome and satin finishes are commonly used on doorknobs. Graphite nickel, brushed nickel, matt black, and matte brass are among the most popular finishes. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of doorknobs in different finishes.
