One sided door knobs?

toastandjam

Concerning door knobs on closet/linen closet doors.

Was looking at installing a door knob with only on side, similiar to just installing a dummy door knob but to still have it function and have the inside portion of the knob as flat as possible.

Looked at various stores but did not find anything exisiting. Looking at a regular door knob I'm not seeing how to alter it to make it the way I want it to appear.

Ideas?

I have to ask, why would you want that?

They are in the same aisle as regular door knobs. Went to our local Menard's hardware store a couple of weeks ago, and they had a whole shelf dedicated to dummy knobs.

Just use a dummy knob and a ball detent on top of the door to hold it in place. No latch is needed.

If you have roller catches to secure the door would be ok.
Would be a serious safety issue if could not open the closet from inside.

I once salvaged a old brass closet knob from a remodel, was a regular knob outside, inside was just a thumb catch that looked more like a deadbolt knob.

But still, why would you want this?

Looked into the ball catch but still want the traditional door knob/latch.

Want it for 2 reasons, have a linen closet that is really shallow inside.
Another closet will be used to store a gun safe and don't need the inside knob taking up space.
