door knob polish
My door lock outside knob looks ugly with copper green rust. It may be caused by wet weather or dirty hands. How to clean it, what solution could be used for polish? The color of knob looks brown copper, but I don't think it is real copper, it is only coat.

Most likely it needs to be replaced once the sealers worn off it's shot.
Want to try anyway try Brasso.

Cheap knobs like Kwikset do not last long.
If you do replace it spend a few extra dollars on a Schluge brand knob.

Once, I am going to replace them. I have three doors, and they share one key. If I replace one, I have to have two keys for doors or I have to replace all there locks. In the market, I could find two locks share one key, but it is difficult to find three locks sharing one key. I'll put picture later.

Boy that's ugly! Looks like a cheap Grade 3 (light residential) possibly a Kwikset Tylo, being almost as cheap as the cheapest imports, just replace it. Big box stores can match keys with new purchases, altho generally only 3 finishes will be available at big boxes. But your local smithy can show you a veritable rainbow of finishes you can order, albeit costing more, can sure spruce up the door!

Agree with rstripe; Kwikset Tylo or possibly Bel Air. I seem to also remember aluminum with a "gold" anodized finish; really cheap. For what new locks and keying will cost, I think you would be money ahead to replace those three locks.
