Abstract: In this paper the number and lengths of minimal length lattice knots confined to slabs of width $L$, is determined. Our data on minimal length verify the results by Sharein et.al. (2011) for the similar problem, expect in a single case, where an improvement is found. From our data we construct two models of grafted knotted ring polymers squeezed between hard walls, or by an external force. In each model, we determine the entropic forces arising when the lattice polygon is squeezed by externally applied forces. The profile of forces and compressibility of several knot types are presented and compared, and in addition, the total work done on the lattice knots when it is squeezed to a minimal state is determined.
