I have 30DKT5s here too but mine were made by Sprague.  Same value.  I
just wanted to mention two things:

1.  Mine came out of a 1 KW broadcast rig so you can safely assume
they are okay for ham RF current.

2.  They have a thread count that differs from the HEC doorknobs of
similar size so different hardware is needed.
