Non-latching doorknob?
Hi, somebody must make a non-latching doorknob -- it would allow you to push open the door without turning the knob? I guess I could take a grinder to the back of a latch but I'd rather buy one
Thanks!
Thanks!

What would be the point; how would the door stay closed?
Something like this?

It's called a dummy knob and it is most often used in conjunction with a ball catch and strike plate on top of the door. You don't use a standard passage set. You "could" but you would need to omit the latch bore.

Yes, a dummy knob and spring plunger. I've seen them usually used on closets and cabinets. A quick check of the Home Depot website shows they have them for about $5.

Exactly...and as Xsleeper also alluded to..
Used often in closet doors, but also on interior doors for function, rather than security, traditional latch with handle etc.
