I’m in the process of redoing the first floor bathroom and new door knobs got purchased and now we are having an “issue” with which way to set the door knobs. DW is calling these egg Knob handles and we are just not sure which why they should go. Vertical or horizontal? Might seem like a trivial issue but well lets just say I need to get a professional answer… Thanks -M

My input seems redundant at this point but one more vote for verticle.

>My input seems redundant at this point but one more vote for verticle.I'll disagree, and vote for vertical.
sure, politicians always telling ya how to vote. Don't listen to these guys. They go vertical. Except in Ohio.

"once again Breaktime solves the issue..."

Yes but that is the beauty of Breaktime you get the real info filtered through the BS...
all depends on how's wearing the pants. Im my house, when i comes to decisions like this, or paint colors, or where to hang what pictures, where the couch is going to go... I have absoutely no say

Hey. Don't go asking those hard question here. Go straight to Home Depot and look at the displays. Seeing is believing.
verticle
thats how they go 'cause she said so
and I have never set them any other way.An inch to short. That's the story of my life !

My old house ones are vertical. I really like the feel. I think they are much easier to turn that way.
Depends on how far she is from the floor...

One on each side of the door.
One on each side of the door.
The top and bottom sides? Or the hinge and latch sides?

A house I was working on in MS the other day had the curvey handled latches on the storm door (lotta good the storm door did--two feet of storm surge still ruined the house!). They went horizontal, but I seemed to have a lot of trouble using that door--turned out it was upside down, so I was trying to push it down to open and it had to be lifted up. To do it right, the whole door would have had to be rehung from the opposite side, and then it would have opened towards you with no way to get around it on the narrow deck.
Take them back, exchange them for round knobs,then install the round knobs in the horizontal position.
