[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our house is older (1920s), but we did oval satin nickel knobs everywhere, only the back door has a lever. I'm from Europe where levers are standard, so I certainly don't think they look cheap (and ours wasn't), but the reasoning was that this is where you come in from the yard. The only downside is that both levers and oval knobs are hard to babyproof. [/quote] Levers are not hard to babyproof. Just go to Target and they have the kits for them. We installed them on all our doors. [/quote] PP here. You are right, I realize we didn't really look into babyproofing the lever - we simply put a knob cover over the deadbolt and kept the exterior door locked. We did not find a good way to babyproof the oval knobs though. The standard knob covers don't work very well because they don't spin on the knobs. They did deter our kids when they were very little, but at some point they figured it out.[/quote]
