Some doors have a door handle or a lever handle, others are equipped with a turning knob. With the help of a turning knob, a door that is not locked can be opened. Or to put it another way: by operating the turning knob, the latch<\/a> is pulled out of the strike plate<\/a>, so that the corresponding door can be opened.<\/p>\n

\"Turning<\/p>\n

A turning knob, which is also referred to as a knob handle, is not permitted for emergency exits due to safety reasons.<\/p>\n

The installation of a turning knob is particularly interesting if (small) children should not be able to open the door equipped with the turning knob easily. When installing a knob handle, however, it must be considered that in the event of a fire or smoke development, children could be virtually trapped in a room because they cannot open the door independently.<\/p>\n

Some adults also have problems opening a door with a turning knob. It must therefore be weighed very carefully when a knob handle should be used and when not.<\/p>\n

Entrance Door Set with a Turning Knob on the Outside of the Door<\/h2>\n

If a turning knob is attached to the outside of a door, the hardware<\/a> is referred to in technical jargon as an entrance door set (Wechselgarnitur). Hardware sets that have a door handle on both the inside and the outside are called lever\/lever handle sets.<\/p>\n
