Manufacturing processes, advancements in manufacturing technology.

As for door knob looks in general, there’s been a move to handles in the past 20 years due to safety regulations – people with disabilities must be able to open a door, and a door knob is less easily manipulated than a handle.

Lead.

Brass traditionally used up to 3.5% lead. As we “de-leaded,” the lead content went way down. Plumbing fixtures now require the use of zero lead brass, and that is the way things are headed.

On the plus side, if your kid licks that 1980s door knob, there is less of a chance that they won’t be able to do math later on…
