Another way to think about knob position is to place them on 1/3rds. In other words on a 48 inch opening put the knobs at 16 inches from each other. Visual pleasing.
This might be a stupid question but how do you get knobs with long enough screws? All knobs are for cabinets not doors so the screws that come with the knobs aren’t long enough.
I'm sure this is too late, but you can go to menards, lowes or home depot and go to the specialty screw section and choose the right thread pitch and length you need. They are sold individually
It can be installed on the outside edge of the pivot seam and function in the same manner but it will also expose the knob to getting snagged on clothing while walking by on the left and the the knob on the right will contact the wall.
Once you mark the spot you are going to drill a center pop tool is used to make a accurate indentation in the surface. The spring loaded type can be purchased at harbor freight and they are gold in color or you can just use a small center pop and a hammer. Good luck on your project.
@@Artisticmetals Thank you! I saw the video was posted three years ago, so I really didn’t expect anybody to respond but I thought “well why not.” I’m glad I did. Thanks again.
This saves me from a huge mistake putting the knobs at the weak point of the door where no solid wood exists. Thank you very much.
Great information about the pivot point and the difference in density between the different points in the door. Thank you.
Thank you so much you saved me a lot my knob had fell off while my door was closed and I didn’t know how to open it thanks to you I was able to
thank you so much!
Thanks mate. Really helpful!

Shouldn't the knob be installed at the other door instead since it's swinging out towards the direction of the extreme left or right door?

Before you drilled, you said your going to use a center pop up? What does that do and where can I buy that tool?

Are those knobs uneven?
Just the camera angle, the knobs are at 3.5” panel C/L with a 1” offset.
