FAQs

What material is the Owl Door Knocker made from?

The door knocker is crafted from solid brass.

What are the dimensions of the door knocker?

The dimensions are 140mm in length and 75mm in width, with bolt centres of 50mm.

Does it come with screws or bolts for installation?

Yes, it is supplied complete with all necessary fixings for installation.

How do I clean and maintain the antique brass finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes to preserve the finish.

Is this door knocker suitable for all types of doors?

It is suitable for most standard wooden or composite doors. Ensure you check the bolt centre measurements (50mm) and have adequate clearance.

Can the antique brass finish be re-lacquered if it wears?

The antique finish is typically a surface treatment. While re-lacquering is possible, it would alter the intended aged appearance and may require professional application.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer's warranty information for specific details on the product's coverage.

Troubleshooting

Door knocker is loose.

Check and tighten the fixing bolts from the inside of the door. Ensure they are securely fastened but do not over-tighten.

Knocker makes a dull sound.

Ensure the knocker is properly aligned and the striker plate (if applicable) is clear. Check for any obstructions.

Finish appears tarnished or discolored.

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. The antique finish is designed to develop a patina; significant discoloration might indicate prolonged exposure to harsh elements or inappropriate cleaning products.

Difficulty installing.

Ensure pilot holes are correctly sized and drilled straight. If the door is very hard, pre-drilling may require a stronger drill bit. Re-check the bolt centre measurements.

  2. Mark Bolt Holes: Hold the door knocker in place and mark the positions for the two fixing bolts, ensuring the knocker is level.

  5. Secure Knocker: Align the owl door knocker with the bolts and secure it from the outside using the provided nuts or backing plates. Tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the door.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • To maintain the antique brass finish, clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution on the cloth, then wipe dry.
  • Periodically check that the fixings remain tight.
