{{Q|What a racket. How's a doorknob to get any sleep?|The Doorknob}}
The '''Doorknob''' appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. The Doorknob's mouth contains the Keyhole to [[Wonderland]].

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts χ''===
{{sec-stub}}

===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] followed the [[White Rabbit]] into the [[Bizarre Room]]. As soon as they enter, they see that the White Rabbit has shrunk and ran through a small door. Sora and his friends look at the door and wonder how the White Rabbit got so small. Much to their surprise, the Doorknob starts talking and tells them to try the bottle on the table, then goes back to sleep. Much later, Sora comes back to the room and defeats the [[Trickmaster]]. The Doorknob wakes up after the battle and yawns to reveal Wonderland's [[Keyhole]], which is inside of his mouth. Afterward, the Doorknob goes back to sleep.

===''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''===
After Sora, Donald, and Goofy help [[Alice]] escape from the [[Queen of Hearts]]'s trial, they return to the Bizarre Room through the Doorknob. 

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
When [[Roxas]] first visits Wonderland and enters the Bizarre Room, he is originally trying to find the White Rabbit that ran past him, but finds the Doorknob instead. The Doorknob tells Roxas that the Rabbit drank from the bottle on the table. Roxas, being confused, asks the Doorknob about the White Rabbit and the door, but the Doorknob is fast asleep and won't answer.

===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
While exploring the Bizarre Room, [[Data-Sora]] sees the Doorknob, who has been turned sideways due to the bugs. Data-Sora volunteers to eradicate the bugs afflicting the Doorknob, and after Data-Sora returns from the [[System Sector]] in question, he receives the "Doorknob" [[Inkling]].<!--optional-->

==Design==
The Doorknob is, true to his name, a sentient, gold door handle. His {{w|Escutcheon (furniture)|escutcheon plate}} is shaped like an elongated trapezoid with a semi-circle bump on the bottom and a curly design on the top, giving the Doorknob the appearance of having a chin and hair, respectively. A gold screw on each bottom corner of the plate keeps the Doorknob attached to his door. He has close-set, beady yellow eyes and what seem to be black "eyebrows", though these may actually be engravings on the Doorknob's plate rather than hair. The Doorknob's prominent bulbous nose is actually the knob part of a doorknob, the part that is turned to open the door, something the Doorknob doesn't pretend to enjoy. His mouth is the keyhole part of a doorknob (as well as the Keyhole of Wonderland), though it is not fixed in place like it should be; the Doorknob has no problems moving his "lips" to talk.

Although the Doorknob appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' and has talk sprites, he is not listed in the [[Debug Reports]].

==Personality==
The Doorknob is not particularly helpful, caring only about getting sleep. He is lazy, quite obviously, as a short cutscene is always played  that shows the Doorknob snoring when approaching him. He does, however, offer some help, as he tells Sora that he is too big, and that he will need to drink the potion. He is also rather acerbic, as shown when [[Goofy]] offers a pleasant "G'mornin" in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and he bluntly replies, "Goodnight! I need a bit more sleep."

==Origin==
The Doorknob first appeared in Walt Disney's 1951 film ''Alice in Wonderland'' as a minor character. After falling down the rabbit hole, Alice meets the Doorknob, who acts as the doorway to Wonderland. When Alice asks to pass, the Doorknob instructs her to drink a bottle of liquid to shrink herself in order to pass. Unfortunately, she leaves the key that was supposed to open the Doorknob on a table. He then tells her to eat a sweet to make herself large again, but this backfires and makes her into a giant. When Alice drinks the shrinking potion once more, she becomes trapped inside in the now-empty bottle and travels into Wonderland through the Doorknob's mouth. At the climax of the movie, the Doorknob encounters Alice when she is trying to escape from the Queen of Hearts, but he is locked. However, he informs her that she is already outside and was just asleep.
