How to Remove a Baldwin Brass Door Rosette

Baldwin hardware manufactures a wide array of door knobs and rosettes to coordinate with any home decor style, such as vintage, elegant, casual or modern. A door rosette, which is a decorative ring located at the base of a door knob, conceals the knob's latch and lock assembly. You can change a Baldwin brass door rosette by removing its set screw and metal clips to give your home an updated, personalized look.
