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.
