Privacy door knobs: Knobs that have a pin hole on the outside and push button on the inside. Most commonly used in rooms that require privacy such as the bedroom or bathroom doors.
Keyed door knobs: Knobs that come with a key entry on them. The other side normally has a push button on it. Most commonly used as exterior knobs (entrance, garage doors)
Keyed door levers: Levers that come with a key entry on them. The other side normally has a push button on it. Most commonly used as exterior knobs (entrance, garage doors)
Dummy door knobs: One sided and cannot lock. It lacks a key entry & has no working parts as well. Most commonly used on doors that don’t require a knob on both sides, like a closet door.
Passage door knobs: These kinds of knobs do not lock or have a key entry. Most commonly used in rooms that you wouldn’t want privacy in such as hallways, closets, laundry room doors, etc.

Additionally, you you have multiple colors of finishes to choose from. Between gold, nickel, black, chrome, brass, stainless steel, copper, zinc or custom, the selection is endless!
