Lever-style handles would theoretically be easier for a Velociraptor to manipulate than round knobs. The downward pressure required aligns better with their natural claw-gripping motion. Round knobs would require a twisting motion that might prove more difficult given their hand orientation.
1st preserved dinosaur butthole is 'perfect' and 'unique,' paleontologist says
This was a multipurpose hole.
The first dinosaur butthole ever discovered is shedding light where the sun don't shine. The discovery reveals how dinosaurs used this multipurpose opening — scientifically known as a cloacal vent — for pooping, peeing, breeding and egg laying.

You mean, dinosaur jam?
it sends a message
It's like presenting my bare bottom?
Thinking about it, just round door knobs would be enough
Yeah, I think in the movie the "knobs" were actually handle types. I don't think they would have had the leverage to turn knobs without thumbs.
Edit: this site claims that the wrist twisting motion would have been difficult for raptors to do due to the natural orientation of their claws:

They're like birds, right? Don't they have a cloaca instead?

Apparently yes, though this author couldn't resist "butthole"...

dinosaurs out here be fuckin they cloacaes
This would stump even me. Why is it raptor-specific? Maybe I just have overly-sweaty hands.
For the Jurassic Park reference, probably
Damn that flew right over me...
No they can't really fly, more just run and creep
You are a raptor, right?
Vaseline if anyone didn't know
Or, you know, just lock the door.
