Also the word "pomo" is used for door and furniture knobs.

I suggest that you go to Home Depot and look at the package in your area .. it may be in Spanish too.

In Chile is "manilla": la manilla de la puerta o las manillas de los gabinetes, but I can assure you there must be a hundred other ways to say it in Latinoamérica (like "manija" for example).

Here the door knob assemblies are called chapas.
