Passage Door Knobs

Passage door knobs operate with a latch mechanism only — there is no lock. That makes them perfect for interior doors where privacy or security isn’t needed. They’re often used on closets, hallways, utility rooms, and storage spaces. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Because there is no locking mechanism, passage door knobs tend to be lower-maintenance and easier to install than privacy or keyed knobs. They are also widely available in all popular finishes including Matte Black, Satin Nickel / Brushed Nickel, Satin Brass / Brushed Brass, Polished Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and more — offering flexibility for matching or mixing décor styles.

Passage knobs are often the go-to choice when you want consistent hardware throughout your home without overthinking lock functions. For multi-door closets, hallways, or pass-through rooms, they maintain a clean look while delivering reliable performance. They also pair well with matching levers, hinges, or cabinet hardware for a unified home aesthetic.

A passage door knob is a non-locking door knob: it only has a latch mechanism and does not lock. It’s designed for doors that don’t require privacy or security. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Passage knobs are ideal for interior doors such as hallways, closets, pantries, laundry rooms, storage spaces, or any door that doesn’t need to lock. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Technically a passage knob could be installed on an exterior door — but since it lacks a locking mechanism, it’s not secure. If you plan to use one outside, you should add a deadbolt or choose a keyed-entry lock for safety. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Yes. Passage knobs typically require only a standard latch installation and no lock cylinder, making them simpler to install and ideal for quick replacements or remodels.
