I'm looking for advice on what I can do with a door knob whose rose spills over the edge of the wood (by 2-3mm) on a glass-panelled door.
The full story:
We've just replaced all our internal doors, bar one 50-year old set of glass-panelled double doors. We've used the same model of door knob on all the new doors and also put that knob on the old double doors. We left the existing latch in place on the old doors because we wanted to minimise the risk of them being damaged by the changes we were making. (It would be nigh-on impossible to find a like-for-like replacement for them.)
I carefully measured things to ensure we got a 50mm-wide knob that would fit onto the 52mm-wide stretch of wood where the knob/handle has to go.
But my mistake: I did not check the location of the latch and thus did not realise that the spindle was not perfectly centred. Because the spindle is off to one side, the new knob is also off-centre and thus sticks out over the edge of the wood. See pictures.
What are my options for dealing with this?
I know it is a minor imperfection and far from being the end of the world. But it is annoying, especially after spending money on a carpenter who did the work.
