Replacement door knob question.

[Craig]

I have a 1981 C code WSM and am in need of a new door knob/latch. Anyone know the part number or a suitable replacement? I want to keep it as original looking as possible so I'm not looking for the modern handle version. Any suggestions are appreciated. Currently using a hex head.. [emoji17]

@Craig ,

eReplacent parts has them here. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/door-knob-p-1475864.html

I'll be adding a "C" code to the collection as well.

Thanks. For some reason when I searched there I couldn't get that to come up in the results. Much appreciated. Be sure to show us your C code when you get it.

Have you looked into ceramic knobs? They're out there for various purposes. I'm sure there's a black one out there that will look almost original, and it ain't gonna melt. Just a thought.

I found threaded black nobs at ace hardware they had various sizes like the one below

How did you melt the handle or was it like that when you got it?  I'll have to admit, I like the round knob look of the original. Maybe zavod could make one from  a dark wood?  Might be cool.

The entire lever and handle was gone when I got it I had to weld a new nut to the stem and cut the head off a bolt and thread the other side to screw the new knob onto

The knob that I got with it was a smaller replacement knob that didn't quite work with the latching piece. So I replaced it with a black ball knob from Ace but didn't put a washer in between so I learned the hard way. I'm getting the OEM knob and latch for the 2880/2890.

Are you sure you are able to get just the knob?

I've never had to replace any of the round knobs when I had the 18", but I know for a fact that the L shaped handles on the 22's are POS and Weber will only sell the door & handle together.

Yessir! The knob and latch came today. Silly question, but should I put a washer in between the knob and the door?

Hey Craig, found this image at the TVWB. Hope it helps.

@zavod44 Might be able to make one from ebony but any wood coupled with his work would be outstanding here.

When weber sells the door..it comes with latch handle ...

Nit sure if weber still sells the older model tho.
