No, it doesnt. Name two societies that have exact matching concepts of what it is to be moral. There arent two let alone hundreds. Why does Saudi Arabia law differ from US law for instance? Completely different concepts of what it is to be moral.

You are missing the point of immutable morality. Laws do not define morality.
We need no laws to tell us that murder is wrong. It is a human trait to know murder is wrong. In every culture it is wrong for one individual to murder in cold blood another human. That is not a concept but a fact.
You tried to use a doorknob to illustrate concept.
But a doorknob serves a base function. Despite the different designs that have been conceived for a doorknob unless it serves the function as a lever with which to pull a door shut or to activate a mechanical device such as a latch it is not a doorknob.
A doorknob must serve a base function, anything outside of that function is an unnatural use of that doorknob and it no longer serves the purpose of being a doorknob.
So a doorknob is no more a concept than morality is.
Both have a functional use and any unnatural use of either one means it must be set apart from its natural function.
