Smooth door lock knobs

Anyone know where to get the shorter smooth door lock knobs. I hate going to the bank and reach out the window and the door lock knob is in the way.
Thanks.

You can cut them down yourself and modify the stock knobs which I did...but they weren't short enough for me. So...I bought some from Mike at SoCalHHR's for $8.00 for the set and they work great.

Now you see them (unlocked)

You don't really need to cut them. I got the same ones and didn't cut them and have been very happy with the result. I wanted a little sticking above the surface so that if I needed to I'd have something to grip to unlock the door manually. You never know when you may need to!

Well did you cut them or not, I have a set but I have not installed them as of yet, I was going to cut them by a 1/4" So tell me if you cut your set or not. Are you happy with them Yes or No.

I left them as is. They look great. I need to get another set and do the ones in the back also. A cleaner look. After I removed the old ones I put on the new ones before before I used the silicon sealer was installed and checked the look.

Rudy, I didn't and I'm glad. Here's mine locked and unlocked.
