ABSTRACT:
A knob for a lock includes a knob body and a reinforcing member. The knob body has a side, and a neck extends outward from the side of the knob body and has a slot. The reinforcing member is mounted around the neck and has a stop that is engaged in the slot of the neck. An escutcheon is mounted around the reinforcing member. The knob has increased strength for withstanding larger force intended to destroy the lock through either jimmying the connection area between the side of the knob body and an end wall of the escutcheon or hammering an outer face of the knob body.
