Yale knob set Gold

Key Features and Benefits

Classic Gold Finish

The gold finish on this Yale knob set is polished to a warm, reflective shine. It is designed to resist tarnishing and corrosion, maintaining its appearance over years of daily use. Gold hardware works especially well in:

• Traditional and colonial-style homes

• Modern farmhouse interiors

• Luxury apartments and condos

• Hospitality and boutique hotel settings

Durable Construction

Yale knob sets are manufactured from high-quality materials, typically solid brass or zinc alloy with a brass finish. The internal mechanism features precision-machined components for smooth, reliable operation. The knob is designed to withstand frequent use without loosening, wobbling, or failing.

“What is the difference between a knob set and a leverset?”

A knob set uses a round knob that you grip and turn. A leverset uses a lever handle that you push down. Knobs are traditional and elegant; levers are easier to operate for children, the elderly, and people with limited hand strength. Both are available from Yale in matching finishes.

“Is this knob set suitable for exterior doors?”

Yes, provided you select the Entry function. Entry knob sets include a keyed cylinder for exterior locking. For exterior doors, we also recommend pairing the knob set with a separate deadbolt for maximum security.

Installation Guide

Tools Required:

• Phillips head screwdriver

• Tape measure

• Pencil

• Drill with 2-1/8″ hole saw (for new installations)

• Chisel (for strike plate mortising, if needed)

Step 1: Prepare the Door
If replacing an existing knob, remove the old hardware. For new installations, mark the door for the knob hole (typically 36″ from the floor) and drill a 2-1/8″ hole. Drill the latch hole in the door edge.

Step 2: Install the Latch
Insert the latch into the door edge and secure with screws. Ensure the latch is oriented correctly (beveled side facing the door closing direction).

Step 3: Install the Strike Plate
Close the door and mark the latch position on the frame. Mortice if necessary and secure the strike plate with screws.

Step 4: Install the Knob Set
Insert the spindle through the latch. Attach the interior and exterior knob assemblies, aligning the screw holes. Secure with the provided screws.

Step 5: Test the Operation
Turn the knob from both sides to ensure smooth operation. Test the locking function (if applicable). Adjust if needed.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the gold finish.

• Polishing: Use a non-abrasive brass polish occasionally to maintain shine. Test on a small area first.

• Lubrication: Apply a dry graphite lubricant to the latch mechanism annually. Avoid oil-based lubricants.

• Inspection: Check screws periodically and tighten if loose.
