FAQs

What material are the bolts made of?

The bolts are made of a durable, rust-proof flexi nylon material.

How long is the coating guarantee?

The standard finishes come with up to a 5-year coating guarantee.

Can I install this on a metal door?

This door knocker is primarily designed for wooden or composite doors. Installation on metal doors may require different mounting hardware not included.

Do I need to drill new holes in my door?

Yes, you will need to drill two holes through your door for the bolts to pass through.

How do I clean the door knocker?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is included with the door knocker?

The door knocker comes with color-matched nuts and washers for installation.

Is the gold finish prone to chipping?

The finish is designed for durability, but like any coated surface, it can be susceptible to impact damage. Handle with care during installation and use.

Troubleshooting

Knocker feels loose after installation.

Ensure the nuts on the interior side of the door are fully tightened. If the bolts were trimmed, verify they are still making firm contact.

Difficulty cutting the flexi nylon bolts.

Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife for clean cuts. Cut slowly and carefully to avoid splintering.

Knocker is not hanging straight.

Check that the mounting holes on the door are aligned properly and that the knocker itself is seated correctly against the door surface.

Concerns about the gold finish wearing over time.

Adhere to the care instructions, using only a soft cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals. The coating has a guarantee on standard finishes for up to 5 years.
