I'm rebuilding my 1926 house from the ground up and am trying to emulate the orginal. My designer and I are discussing door hardware. For inside doors, we agree on glass knobs and bronze or brass mountings (not shiny), but not on the price. He doesn't like Kwikset and Schlage, but it seems the next step up "mid-priced" is a big jump. For the inside, we don't need fully mortised, but I would like locks.
For the front door, I'm willing to spend more money. Fully mortised would be nice, but not necessary. It's been hard to find the period style I want. I might be able to find something at a salvage store if I can't get it new.
I suppose for the inside doors I could buy the cheaper ones and replace them if I have enough insurance money left when we're done.
