Dummy Knob Sets: Decorative Style Where You Need It
Not every door in the house needs to open and close the usual way — and that’s where dummy knob sets come in handy. They're the unsung heroes of decorative hardware. No moving parts, no complicated mechanics — just a stylish finishing touch that ties everything together.
At The Blue Space, we get loads of questions about dummy knobs, and the truth is, they’re simpler than they sound. Here’s what they do, where to use them, and why you might want to grab a few for your next reno or update.
So, What is a Dummy Knob Set?
A dummy knob is a non-turning, non-latching handle that’s purely for looks — and maybe a bit of pull action. You’ll usually find them:
- Fixed to one side of a door
- With no latch or internal mechanism
- Attached with screws (super simple to install)
They look just like a regular doorknob, so your doors still match aesthetically, but they don’t actually do anything — and that’s exactly the point.
Where to Use Dummy Knobs
Dummy knobs are ideal for:
Wardrobe doors
Pantry doors
Linen cupboards
Double doors (like French doors or bifolds)
Closets or sliding doors where one side is fixed
Basically, any door that doesn’t need to latch or turn but still needs a handle for pulling or symmetry.
You can also use them to complete the look on double doors — install a functioning knob on one side and a dummy on the other so it looks like a full set, even if only one side opens.
Types of Knob Sets
Not sure which knob set you need?, here’s a handy refresher on the different types of knob sets available:
Keyed Entrance Knobs
Lockable with a key from the outside — perfect for front, back, or garage doors.
Privacy Knobs
Lock from the inside, with a simple release from the outside. Ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms.
Passage Knobs
Don’t lock, but they do turn and latch — great for living rooms or hallways.
Dummy Knobs
Fixed knobs used for decorative purposes or where no latch is needed — think wardrobes and cupboards.
Things to Consider Before Buying
Left or Right?
Dummy knobs are often side-specific, so check which side of the door they’re going on. Some are universal, but not all.
Single vs Double Dummy
A single dummy is just one knob for one side of the door. A double dummy has a matching knob for each side — handy for double doors or when you want symmetry.
Finish & Style
Match them with the rest of your door hardware — matte black, satin chrome, brushed brass, or antique finishes all work beautifully depending on your interior vibe.
Installation
Super easy. No holes to drill through the door — just screw them on wherever you want a knob to sit. Great for DIYers.
Final Thoughts
Dummy knob sets are all about aesthetics and practicality where you don’t need the full mechanics of a functioning knob. They’re easy to install, affordable, and a great way to keep a consistent look across your home — especially on wardrobes and double doors.
We’ve got a big range of dummy knobs at The Blue Space, ready to go in all the latest styles and finishes.
