I’m sorry it’s been a quiet week on iDigHardware so far, but I’m teaching a class for our amazing specwriter apprentices! We’re working on electrified hardware this week, and I’m so impressed with what they’ve learned so far. I will need your help with something tomorrow, so please check back and cast your vote.
Rich Conroy of Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies showed me this photo in the office yesterday, and I immediately knew it would be a great Wordless Wednesday post. This is the first time I’ve seen this particular modification. What do you think?

Code???
Artistically interesting but since the latch has been removed, an approved accessible pull would have been less work and would serve its purpose better.
Why? I can’t see a latch bolt. If the latch bolt is not needed, wouldnt a pull
be better? Maybe I should have left it wordless. Somethings
just don’t make sense.This makes you think,”what were they thinking?”
Dave.
“A” for effort I suppose. What happened to the latchbolt?
It’s a Apple Nano holder!!!
Must be a reason for the modification???
Ahhh the 60’s…. [1960’s] This was common back then
Neat design but I dont think it would meet any ADA due to length and no return…
Hope its not a fire door with no latch being in place
That is an older Russwin Cylindrical Knobset, and those knobs have a thick stainless steel (or plated brass) skin formed over a hard steel base. That must have been incredibly difficult to cut unless it is some sort of antiquated factory option.
Tactile warning door knob.
