Troubleshooting

Door knocker is loose after installation.

Ensure the internal bolt-through fixing nuts are fully tightened. Check that the door material is sufficiently rigid to support the knocker.

Polished nickel finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For persistent dullness, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for plated brass, followed by thorough drying.

Knocker does not strike the plate cleanly.

Verify that the knocker and strike plate are correctly aligned. Ensure no debris is obstructing the movement of the knocker or the plate.

Difficulty fitting the bolt-through fixings.

Confirm the drill holes are the correct size for the bolts. If the door is thicker than standard, you may need longer threaded bolts.

Pros and Cons

  • Constructed from solid brass for durability and a premium feel.
  • The polished nickel finish is versatile, fitting well in various property styles.
  • Suitable for a wide range of door materials.

Cons

  • The polished nickel finish may require frequent cleaning to maintain its shine and prevent tarnishing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This door knocker is designed for versatility and can be fitted to timber, composite, uPVC, and aluminium doors. The included 110mm stainless steel threaded bolts provide ample length for most standard door thicknesses. For thicker or non-standard doors, longer bolts may be required.

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired placement for the door knocker.
  2. Mark the positions for the fixing holes. You will need two holes for the bolt-through mechanism and potentially a pilot hole for the strike plate.
  3. Drill the holes carefully, ensuring they are straight and appropriately sized for the supplied bolts.
  4. Insert the threaded bolts from the inside of the door, passing through the door and the knocker's fixing plate.
  5. Secure the knocker on the exterior side. A strike plate is also fitted internally.
  6. Ensure the knocker and its fixings are tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
  • For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry immediately.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the polished nickel plating.
  • Periodically check the tightness of the fixing bolts.
