Thank you for the suggestion but I'm afraid this knob was simply too old and 
there were no salvageable parts.

Yours sincerely,
Joy

Hello Joy, in many cases you should be able to use the part from the old 
knob and it should match up with a new knob. Take that paart along to the 
hardware store.
Cheers,
Glenn

Good day listers,
I wondered if anyone might know of an online source for doorknobs for older 
doors.  I have a wooden front door that is much thicker than its modern 
counter parts, and so I cannot find an spindle? axis? (not sure of the 
correct term)  long enough to go through and fit knobs on each end.  Its 
doorknob gave out sometime ago and after searching all the local stores (not 
many, I'm in a rural area) I ended up replacing it with a knob for an 
interior door which is not going to last long.  Any suggestions as to where 
I might look would be greatfully received.

Thank you for your help,
Yours sincerely,
Joy
