=EF=BBHi Rowland,
I have the door knob on the inside face. The safety guard is designed to cov
er the knob in case of inadvertent opening. Made from composite. Some builde
rs I have seen don=99t have a door knob at all. Their safety guard is a
simple aluminium plate fixed to the window frame covering the handle when d
oor is closed. I have had no problems with my design and a knob is helpful f
or opening the door and holding on to it in windy conditions.
Cheers, Tim

to be cranked inwards so that a knob can be fitted on the outboard face. Th

ings, watches etc.

knob on the inner face that could be accidentally caught by a sleeve etc is
a BAD THING; but the safety guard pretty much eliminates that possibility.

ght and fit a small knob on the inner face.
