Install vintage-car chrome door handles in your house

Step 6: You're done!

I carved a hole big enough for the spring mechanism to fit inside the door and keep the spring action on the button on the handle, although it is not functional. But check it out, it looks pretty neat!

It doesn't sound as if it would that much extra work to transform this awesome idea, better fitted for cabinets (as hallifax stated), to a functional room-door handle by either adding a spring loaded mechanism to keep the door shut (like those at the bank teller's door) or even rehouse the original mechanism to work with the button. Or, heck, even have the whole handle turn. This is a great idea that, I think, should be explored into further. Nice job, Chico.

Very cool idea. And it sounds like this would be better for cabinets since those typically don't require knob turning.
