Where can I get glass door knobs?
I am looking for glass door knobs and set, I am not having much luck on the internet. Anyone know of a place in Ontario Canada? Hope you can help. Thanks Chris

Where do you live in Ontario? I work for VALU Home Centers, which is a Buffalo based chain. We sell them, there is a store in Niagara Falls.

Hey.

If your glass doorknobs are old and you want to try and match them up, go to a large antique flea market...they're common there.

PS: You also can try locksmiths...some of them keep the old locksets/hardware they replace.

They used to have used ones all the time at the Green Home Centre before it closed. If you can use used ones, try the Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Sidney Street.

Pretty sure there's a habitat for humanity in Ottawa too, but try Lee Valley as suggested.

I saw some on ebay the other day. Go to Antiques > Architectural & Garden > Hardware > Knobs & Handles. Then do a search for "glass".

I would also suggest trying Ebay. I was on there looking for glass cabinet knobs and saw alot of glass door knobs. They're so pretty,I would love to have them on every door.

Thanks for all the tips, Lee Valley only has glass pull knobs, too bad the Green Home Centre has closed, I'll check out the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Belleville or some of the other places suggested. Thanks Chris

doorknobs
Hall's antiques in Doniphan, Missouri - sorry i don't have a phone # - has had a huge bucket of antique round glass and other shape doorknobs in the past. Also Missouri something or other (has antiques, Missouri products, organic foods, etc.) in Fairdealing Missouri has had some. Hope this helps.
