Looking to replace old brass/ gold knobs but have the "pound in" type. Is there a direct replacement in nickel?

 

Welcome to the forums! Don't know. It may help us to help you if you were to post a few pictures of what you have so we can see what you see. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/el...your-post.html

 

Are you talking about the tap in latch bolt?
If so any new lock set should come with a metal insert to adapt it.

 

Bought a new door knob to test out and it only came with a striker plate. And a new mechanism will not work with what I have. Can't seem to find anything like this online either. Was hoping it would be an easy swap. Not sure what brand these are either.

 

Are these for a mobile home? If so, a mobile home supplier may be your best bet.

 

No, regular home -- all interior doors

I've read this several times and have no idea what you are asking.

The "strike plate" is what's in your bottom picture. Circular strike plates like this are not standard with new hardware. You would have to special order them separately. Yours look like Schlage's.

The "latch" style shown in the first picture is a "drive in" style of latch. Almost any passage, privacy or entry knob will come with the option to install your latch in one of 3 ways... drive in, square corner face plate or rounded corner face plate.

IMO, if you are having problems its probably because of those silly old strike plates. You should probably remove them and use the new strike plates that will come with your new hardware. You will likely have to chisel out a new mortise for the new strike plate to sit in.

 

Thanks for everyone's help. The brand I picked up at Lowe's only had the square faceplate.

 

After looking closer they are Schlage. Thanks for the part number ... just need to find someone with 8 of them in stock.

 

I'm with Larry - check your local MH supplier. Best I can remember, every MH I've worked on had one or more of those types of locksets. I don't ever recall that type being used in a conventional house. On more than one occasion I've chiseled out the door edge to accommodate the square edge latch.

 

Also keep in mind that those strike plates you have are adjustable. If the new knob won't close for some reason, you can adjust the strike plate by loosening the phillips screw in the middle and moving the stop block forward to enlarge the hole.
