Replacing the door handles

By gill, 5 January, 2008

I started a project replacing all the polished brass door knobs in the house with antique brass levers. It all started when the local Lowe's home improvement store had some Kwikset Commonwealth levers in Antique Brass on clearance dirt cheap. Now I find out they can be quite expensive, so I've been looking for them on e-bay.
