Best Door Knobs in 2027

This is a deadbolt, not a knob, so be clear about the job before you buy. It leads our ranking mainly on security. The maker lists a Grade 1 security rating, and the listing says it is BHMA certified for security, durability and finish. Pair it with a separate knob on the same door.

Fit is wide. It takes doors from 1.375 to 1.875 in thick, and the latch suits backsets of 2.375 in and 2.75 in. Handing is reversible, so one model works on left or right doors. Two keys come in the box. The listing mentions a strike reinforcer with 3 in screws, which helps against kick-in attacks.

At 0.75 lb it is the lightest among the models that list a weight. The warranty is listed as lifetime, covering mechanical and finish parts. The maker does not publish a cycle rating, and keyed alike is not listed, so check that if you want one key for every door.

This is a keyed entry knob, so it fits the keyword directly. It ranks second on our list. The cycle rating is 250,000 cycles, which ties for the highest among the models that list one. A cycle is one full use of the lock, so a higher number points to longer life. That is the number to watch for a knob you use every day.

It fits doors 1.375 to 1.75 in thick and backsets of 2.375 in or 2.75 in. Handing is reversible. Three keys are included on the KW1 keyway. The key point: locks bought separately are keyed different, and this one is not rekeyable. Buy two and you carry two keys. That matters if you want one key for front and back doors.

The listing describes a stainless steel handle, a brass mechanism and an anti-collision cylinder. It can be locked from both sides. The maker does not publish a weight or a warranty length. There is no deadbolt, so exterior doors still need a separate one.

This set matches what many buyers want from a door knob. You get a knob and a deadbolt in one box, and both use the same key. The data marks it as keyed alike, and the listing says three keyed alike keys come with it. That means one key for the whole door.

It ranks third on our list. Fit covers doors 1.375 to 1.75 in thick, with an adjustable latch for 2.375 in to 2.75 in backsets. The listing gives the lock body outside diameter as 2.54 in. The weight is 1.7 lb for the set. The listing calls the design a ball 3-bar lock and says setup is a DIY job.

The gaps matter. The maker does not publish a security grade, a cycle rating or a warranty length. The set is also not rekeyable, so you cannot change the keys later. For a back door or side door that wants keyed alike convenience, those gaps may be acceptable. For a front door, check the lock grade with the seller first.

This is a smart deadbolt, so it only fits the keyword as the security piece beside a knob. It ranks fourth on our list. The listing says it connects to home WiFi, stores up to 100 access codes and works with Alexa and Google Home. You can lock and unlock from the Schlage Home app.

The listing says BHMA certifies it at the highest residential level for security, durability and finish. It also has a built-in alarm for door movement and forced entry attempts. Only one key comes in the box, so plan on sharing codes instead of keys. Weight is 3.4 lb.

Fit is standard: doors 1.375 to 1.75 in thick and backsets of 2.375 in or 2.75 in. The listing says it installs with a screwdriver and needs no hardwiring. The maker does not publish a cycle rating here. The listing mentions a limited lifetime mechanical and finish warranty and a 3-year electronics warranty.

This set covers the whole job in the keyword: a knob and a deadbolt, keyed alike so one key works both. It ranks fifth on our list. The listing says the deadbolt works by key outside or by thumbturn inside, and the lower handle unlocks from inside when turned. That lets you leave quickly and re-enter easily.

Two keys are included. Handing is reversible, and the listing says it fits right and left handed doors. Doors from 1.375 to 1.75 in thick work, with a universal latch for 2.375 in or 2.75 in backsets. The weight is 1.43 lb for the set. A strike reinforcer with 3 in screws is part of the package.

The listing says it is certified AAA by BHMA for security, durability and finish, and the deadbolt has a hardened steel spinning pin and anti-drill plates. The warranty is listed as lifetime, but only for units sold by Amazon or Buildcom. The maker does not publish a cycle rating.
