FAQs
What material is the door knocker made from?
The door knocker is made from solid brass.
Are screws included for installation?
No, screw fittings are not supplied with the door knocker. You will need to provide your own.
Will the brass tarnish over time?
Yes, brass naturally develops a patina over time, which many find adds to its charm. You can clean it or use polish if you prefer a brighter finish.
Can I install this on a metal door?
Yes, it can be installed on metal doors, but you will need to use appropriate metal screws and ensure you can create secure pilot holes.
What are the dimensions of the door knocker?
Due to the handcrafted nature, sizes may vary slightly. Please refer to the product listing for specific approximate dimensions.
Who makes this door knocker?
This door knocker is crafted by a family-owned business in Indonesia.
How do I clean the brass door knocker?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For stubborn tarnish or to restore shine, a mild brass polish can be applied sparingly.
Troubleshooting
Knocker is loose after installation.
Ensure the screws used are of adequate length and are tightened securely from the inside. Check that the door surface is firm enough to hold the screws.
Knocker makes a dull sound.
The sound can be influenced by the door material and thickness. Ensure the knocker is mounted directly and securely against the door surface.
Brass appears dull or tarnished.
This is a natural patina. If a brighter finish is desired, clean with a soft cloth and use a brass polish. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Difficulty finding suitable screws.
Measure your door thickness and purchase wood or machine screws (depending on your door type) of the appropriate length and thread. Consult a hardware store if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves marking the desired position on your door, drilling appropriate pilot holes, and then securing the knocker from the inside using suitable screws (not included). Ensure you use screws long enough to pass through your door securely but not so long they protrude excessively on the inside.
Compatibility: This door knocker is compatible with most standard exterior doors made of wood, composite, or metal. It is important to ensure your door is thick enough to accommodate the screws and the knocker mechanism.
Care: To maintain its appearance, the brass can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. For a brighter finish, a brass polish can be used sparingly. Alternatively, many users appreciate the natural patina that develops over time. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
