Troubleshooting
Knocker does not hang straight.
Ensure the mounting screws are tightened evenly and that the door surface is flat where the knocker is installed.
Knocker makes too much noise when striking.
Consider adding a small, discreet rubber stopper or felt pad to the back of the knocker where it meets the door, or adjust the striker plate if applicable.
Difficulty finding suitable screws.
Measure the thickness of your door and the required screw length for the knocker's mounting holes. Visit a local hardware store for assistance in selecting appropriate wood screws or machine screws with nuts if required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This door knocker is designed for straightforward mounting on most standard doors. You will need to purchase appropriate screw fittings separately, ensuring they are suitable for your door material (e.g., wood, composite). Align the knocker with the mounting holes, mark the screw positions, pre-drill if necessary, and secure the knocker firmly.
Compatibility:
Generally compatible with wooden, composite, and some metal doors. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for the knocker to swing freely and make contact with the door. It is not recommended for very thin or hollow doors where secure mounting might be challenging.
Care:
To maintain its appearance, wipe clean with a damp cloth. For those who prefer a polished brass look, use a commercial brass polish. If the natural patina is desired, simply leave the brass to age naturally. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
