How do you test a door knob to make sure it won’t beeak due to body weight?

im planning on partial suspension

Hold the rope while it’s tied to the knob and use your body weight to pull it at the angle you expect to use.

As if I were doing a push-up while grasping with both hands the loop of the noose that’s tied to the knob?

I think so if I’m picturing it correctly. Just any way you can get significant downward force on it.

Tie the rope to the door knob and stand on the rope if it can support your weight with out bending or cracking, it could potentially hold your weight. If it looks or feels sketchy, you will have to find a different method.

I can’t picture standing on the rope while it’s tied to the door. What does that look like?

Kind of like this. I don't know if it makes sense.
