Salt Lake Temple Doorknob Paperweight | Marble Base

Electroplated Bronze

Most replicas sold today are "inspired by" the temple. Ours is born from it. Decades ago, Ken Halterman visited the Salt Lake Temple with a bold request. He asked the Head of Security for permission to take a physical mold of the historic doorknobs. He was granted rare access to capture the hardware exactly as it stood. That original mold has been preserved by our family for three generations. Because of this direct contact, this piece captures the microscopic textures, the specific curvature, and the spiritual weight of the original craftsmanship that digital modeling simply cannot replicate. You are holding a piece of history, cast from the temple itself.
