selection of Knobs.

Knobs are practical design features on doors, drawers, and cabinets
which offer hand grips to aid in the action of opening. Some are very
minimally designed with purely their function in mind. Others are created
decoratively in antique fashions as well as in modern styles, which
occasionally can disguise their usability.
Many doorknobs having locking capabilities of varying levels of efficiency.
Some knobs designed for cabinets and drawers are also able to lock,
though it is proportionately much less common.
Certain knobs can be difficult for the young or elderly to operate.
Keep this in mind when purchasing knobs for your home decor needs. Another
thing to remember about knobs in general is that with lots of hands
touching them, they collect a variety of germs. Brass, copper and silver
naturally disinfect themselves of many germs over a period of eight
hours through the oligodynamic effect. If you are especially concerned
about germ safety, consider using knobs created from one of these materials.
