agree  Orlando W. Robson: make sure the context (door knob) is clear. Picaporte is door handle. Knob is generic for any type of button or handle. In U.K. it's also a colloquial term for an insult (idiot) or male genitalia

"Son bisagras desmontables, que cuentan con un pasador removible, lo que permite desarmarlas con facilidad y retirar la puerta sin necesidad de sacar los tornillos. Al igual que el resto de las bisagras hay que fijarlas por dentro para que no sean removidas desde el exterior."
